Serendipity

Natalie told me yesterday that the youngest child in the family is more likely to take risks. I don't know if that's true, but I'd have to say that I'm probably more spontaneous than my brother. Take for instance, our impromptu frolic in the rain last night.

It went something like this:

Natalie and I had been sitting in my living room with the windows shut and curtains closed to keep out the heat from the sun. Little did we know that it had actually started to rain... well, downpour.

"You wanna go outside?"

It had left my mouth before I knew what I was saying. I'm surprised that Natalie agreed.


And of course, we brought out my camera to capture our moment of serendipity.

Who Really Needs a Real-World Job Anyway?

In the wake of my recent college graduation, I've been forced to try to find a career in a job market that sucks and with a resume that looks even worse. Thus, aside for settling in a 9-5 at McDonald's for the rest of my life, I've begun thinking of some more creative career paths.

Could I blog for a living?

Yes. Personally, I would be totally content writing my thoughts down and letting others read them, especially if I felt that the experiences I share have the ability to touch somebody on a much deeper level than just for pure entertainment. And I fully believe that while I often portray myself as a mild-mannered, middle-of-the-road kind of person, my life is far more extraordinary than I let on.

I suppose the only problem I've run into with this career path is finding an audience big enough to legitimize my earning money to post my life story on the internet.

Maybe someday?
