what the hell....need to write something



I may as well write a blog. It has been a year or two. I am back in college, full time, with no job. I had the job I had been looking for since I decided to major in horticulture. I was an operations mgr. of a large LOCAL company. Company truck and a lots of perks. Long story short the owner died and his idiot wife decided that she would run (or ruin) the company. So I looked for a job, stayed drunk to the point of oblivion, got sober, and decided to say to hell with looking for work now and go finish my associates degree, and acquire some core class credits before I transfer to a state college. I said to fuck you to the landscape industry (I still love horticulture though). I am converting to Catholicism (just wanted to throw that in there), and have decided to go after my graduate degree and become a mental health/substance abuse counselor. I am transferring to Kennesaw State in spring to start my major classes for my baccalaureate. These are my goals for today. Who knows what the next couple of weeks, months, or years will hold, hell who knows what tomorrow will bring. I need to go to a meeting... I write this blog mainly for a history of my misadventures; I like to track the state of mind I am in every couple of months. So for my advice to myself in two to three years from now: If you are reading this down the road, you made an idiot decision if you are working a blue collar job, you are probably dead if you start drinking again, and congratulations if you followed you plan for 8-23-11.
