A Difference To The Human Race

Yesterday, I had a one-on-one (does that require dashes?) with one of my managers, and he posed this question to me, "what do you see yourself doing in three years." And I sat there, stunned and speechless and I said to myself, "quick make something up!" and so I said, "oh i doubt I'll be working for this company in three years. I really want to teach."

The other day I was speaking to a co-worker about corndogs and how I've never had one in my life. He was appalled by my obvious unconcern at never having eaten "the greatest food known to man" or something like that. (He obviously has never had any of my food.)

Whilst contemplating my upcoming birthday and reflecting on things that I had not yet accomplished, I thought about all the aspirations I had as a child. I wanted to be a lawyer so badly, the next one (this time not so badly) was to be a criminal psychologist (I've since forgotten the fancy word I had for it), and now I'm not really excited by anything in the realms of "careers".

So let's wrap this up...
When I was in my one-on-one I thought, I hafta tell Soobs about this. While discussing corndogs I thought, how can I make this into a story? And while thinking about my past childhood fancies I thought, I need to write about this in my blog. That's when it hit me. My passion is and always has been writing and telling stories. It's been such an understated, intimate part of my life now that it goes unseen, weaving through everything I do. It's always been as easy as breathing.

I will make my mark in this world! I will write and write and write until I die.

Always end on a high note huh?

Me.

The most interesting subjects we could find for you in college were Art and English. "writing" is the combination of the two so it makes sense.

I'd think one would have to be naive or an idiot to be excited by a "career". So it is no wonder that you are no longer excited.

Stewie: How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice litte story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protaganist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah?

It looks like Stewie agrees that you should not drag your feet and not procrastinate at your writing.

Oh and just a note about kilts, it seems the only evidence of their use begins in the 1600s. This means that Braveheart William Wallace who was around about 1300 did not wear a kilt.

Also, I could not find any linkage to historic kilt wearing in Ireland. So I still don't know why they think they should wear kilts.

But anyway, kilts were popularized by people that romanticized the primitive but stout scottish highlanders. In the 1700s they thought it fashionable to wear those primitive clothes.

Okay, quick browsing and no repeatable facts but it looks as though chocolate cake was inventented around 1900 and probably in the USA. And cakes as we know it (i think) were invented in late 1800 due to baking powder's invention. <-(that needs fact checking).

And, "German Chocolate Cake is an American creation that contains the key ingredients of sweet baking chocolate, coconut, and pecans. It was not brought to the American Midwest by German immigrants. The cake took its name from an American with the last name of German." He worked for Bakers Chocolate Co.

I guess I also think it fashionable to walk around wearing primitive clothing since I like to walk around in my "native" wear so much. heh.

Oh and leave some room for other commentors, (or is it commentators?). Stop leaving long "A" comments!
