I have a college degree. I have had it since May. I have no even tried to use it yet. The little money I make comes from online poker. I'm thinking I might start trying to get a job in January. What are you guys doing with your life?

whoo, tough question man. i finished highschool (yr12) and then went to college and got certificate 3 & 4 in IT, then cert 3 in accounting. pretty amazingly boring but i was lost at the time and wasn't sure what to do with myself. i thought IT was the go until i discovered it bored me immensely. i work for a production company, technical wanker term of Sound Engineer springs up but basically i'm a roadie and jack of all trades. funnily enough my IT skillz have made me a bit of an asset to the company. we set up stage, PA, lighting and shit for festivals and what have you. at the moment also trying to get together a bit of a home recording studio, and i'm recording an LP with a psychedelic folk genius named Oliver wilde. keep your eyes peeled for a bit of a demo on these boards.
do you want dreams and aspirations aswell or just what we're doing right now?

i woke up this morning and found myself alive
trying to make it through school right now. it sucks. all these chumps on campus are younger than me, and i think everyone here is in a frat/sorority. i've never seen so many douche bags in one place before.
and i'm pretty much a bum right now. on weekends i help out at the record store back home, and it's not really a job. i pretty much get paid in music to hang out and help customers find the nickelback and hinder cds or whatever radio rock band is popular at the moment.

i found that you really have to look hard for the non-douche bags that go to college. Cool people are there, but we all get jaded by all the dbags roaming around. There is hope, even if it is a small one.
Feel free to post dreams and aspirations if you want.

I quit my job in april.... the workers were stealing my money (i was working in photolaboratory). next 6 months I were just hanging around in my city with a friend Andrew (who don't have a job). I think we were in all interesting places here, so I don't know where to go if I have spare time. it was the best summer in my life! without dependence of money.... returning home in 2a.m..... very good times ...from september I am working in an exhibition company. we're organizing exhibitions in our city I am working 6 hours per day and still have spare time to wile away the time and return home in 2 a.m.

that hope is very small motherprussia.
short term goals: a) finish my telecommunications tv script project tonight. b) finish this semester strong
dreams and aspirations: a) would love to work at and eventually own my own record store, but this is highly unlikely. the outlook is not good. people...kids just don't buy music anymore...record stores are like dinosaurs and i don't know how long my friend/boss is going to be able to keep his doors open. b) graduate c) re-learn how to play my guitar/drums d) start another rock n roll band
more tba

well .... all of this year I was the store manager of a retail cd / dvd store... (Music World) .... the pay wasnt cutting it though so near the end of summer i decided to go on a job hunt .... I landed a job working for a telephone company ... at the call centre... I am still trying to find my zen zone in this position ... it requires a lot of patience and will power... I had a month of in class training and for about a week now I have been taking calls... some situations are very .. "jerry springer" ... the begining of the week was awful ... i thought about searching for another job .... but this job pays soo well ... and i have that mind set now... that i want to be making this much money .... so i gotta just stick it through ..because well im sure everything will eventually fall into place and the unpleasant phonecalls wont affect me at all ... which is not currently the case ... the past couple of days have been easy breezy .. and tomorrow is friday and it will be slow so i am looking forward to that ... I still work at musicworld ... but sadly halfway through october we all got notice that the company had been bought out by a liquidation company .... which well pretty much boiled down to all of the retail stores in the chain having to close down .... we will be open though, through christmas up until about mid january ... .. i guess you could say i left at a perfect time... this whole situation with musicworld closing down has left many lifers out of jobs ... our district manager walked out last week on thursday ... this new company is just ridiculous ... im sure they are doing something illegal..
anyways .... so thats my current state... ..... i have my hairdressing certificate... that is my fall back plan ... unfortunatelly it doesnt pay very well unless i am the business owner of course ... i still need to get my license aswell ... (my hairdressing license) ... which i plan to do in the upcoming year .. i also want to take belly dancing lessons .. but i need to wait till i have found my zen zone at my new job ..
a good thing about my new job is that well besides the fact that they pay very well ... they will invest in my education ... so i could definitely take advantage of that ... ive always had an interest in marketing ... so i could definitely go that route ... of course i need to be where i am for several months before they consider investing in me... so im thinking of just making myself at home there for the next year and see where that takes me..
another option ... my cousin is a flight attendant ... i would not mind doing that lol ... both she and her sister are .. im sure they can "hook" it up lol
i am currently craving a rickenbacker bass guitar ..... but first i need to prove to myself in some way or another that it will not just be a phase ... i need to be sure that i will stay dedicated to perfecting the bass .. you know... i currently have a bass guitar ... so perhaps i need to set some sort of goals or something ... so that i can go ahead with that purchase and not feel like i did the wrong thing
i think that in the end i would probably be happy doing anything .... once you find your zen zone .. anything goes lol ... but ideally i think i would really like to own my own hair salon .... how cool would that be? .. work at my own pace... play some tunes... be creative ... i wouldnt even consider it a job lol
right now im really awaiting spring... i dont like that i go to work and its dark ... and when i get off work its dark .... i need some vitamin D! lol
wow i wrote a book ...sorry LOL

para, let's here some of this guitar work you are doing!
personally, i am doing my best to slack off right now, and doing so quite well. i'm finding the last couple terms of my undergrad to be painful. i won't be able to specify on subjects that i am interested in until grad school, but due to formentioned slacking, i am not on top of my grad school apps and what not either. i have started to really take to music again, which isn't helping. i've been teaching some lessons and writing again, which is very liberating.
i am working two jobs, one bussing tables at a local italian restaurant and one in computer research for the university library. my girlfriend has been overseas in japan since august, so i picked up the extra work to fill in the time. she gets back on the 23rd, so i am very excited to see her again.
it's too cold to play soccer, so i'm getting fat and lazy. i think i'm going to start climbing again this weekend.

I just started what I thought would be a moderate excersise routine. I thought I was going to vomit and die.

i hate exercise...running is the worst. unless you're playing a sport or running from the police, there is no reason to run.
last final is tomorrow..i can't fuckin' wait.

i can see myself liking exercise eventually. but the pain is annoying. and i have little stamina now. it's a bit of a catch-22. things will get easier the better shape i get in, but it's feeling impossible to get into better shape atm. i'll certainly give it some more time, though. not going to give up easily here.

I am currently in my last semester in the College of Education. When I am certified, I will become a teacher.
However, I really just wish I could move some place that doesn't get snow and ride my mopeds all day.

well it looks like i am going to be moving back home come may, and will start commuting to school. lots of positives with this move. it's going to be nice.
and mopeds are cool. i had one, i guess i still have one, but we can't get it to work. something with the fuel line is fucked up.

I'm still going to school up in Chico, got sidetracked for a bit, thanks to work, which decided to have me work closing shifts before getting 5 hours sleep and doing a 100 mile round trip commute to school, only to get back and stare at my textbooks for 45 minutes before having to work again. Not fun when you're taking 2-3 literature classes a semester.
Aside from that, I'm good. Writing music again, hoping to do some recording on my good ol' Tascam 4 tracker. Got a fast, non-56k internet connection (w00t), and now I even got teh internets on my Nintendo DS. Life is good.

merc man, whats up dude? let's trade online brother? I'm fine, just getting back into the school routine, and right now, finishing off a party (I must be getting old, I only had two beers and two shots of whisky). I'd be cool trading, especially since I have a quick computer now.
