Plans for the Future

I'm feeling much better today. Once again class went well.

I'm pretty sure that I will be able to go wherever I want to go a year from now. My field is hot and international. People want money all over the world and I'll be there to give it to them.

Besides the class itself, I like the people in the class. Here is a group of people who are going somewhere. They are bright and know what they are doing with their lives. Yes, I admit that I am becoming more and more of a yuppie everyday. It feels good to be doing something worthwhile and challenging.

Actually it feels good to believe in myself again. No one has ever dragged me down as far as Tracy did. After I lived with her I started to question everything that I did. Then I realized that I put my life on hold for her. The woman had no ambition in life and she started to take mine. She was content to spend the rest of her life in bars.

Wisconsin is full of bars. The joke is that all that you need to make a town is an intersection and a bar. Every town in Wisconsin has at least one bar. The other fixture is a church. Bars and churches constitute a town in Wisconsin.

It sounds like I need to move. Yes, I need to move on to somewhere else. I need a change of scenery and this little trip to Nebraska is not the answer. Most of my life has been spent in Wisconsin and I know that it really isn't me. I don't drink beer, bowl or watch football. Milwaukee is a very blue collar type of town and I am not a blue collar kind of guy.

People always say that you appreciate where you were born after you have been away. The only time that I was away was when I was in college and that was still in Wisconsin. So I don't think that I have ever really gotten away.

There was frost everywhere this morning when I was went to class. I loved it. I'm almost ready for snow. Living in Wisconsin all of my life hasn't made me hate snow yet.

Today's escapes from reality include I Saw What You did Last Summer and Party of Five. It was a Jennifer Love Hewitt double feature.

Last Summer isn't really my kind of genre, but I really didn't mind it. It was tolerable and it gave me something to do after class today.

Party of Five betrays my sensitive guy image that I work so hard to hide. Then again I just put down my old girlfriend a few paragraphs ago, so I'm not mister sensitive all of the time. Life is never as simple as television portrays it, no matter how many people wish that it could be that way.

One more day of class and then I head home. It was good getting away for a while. There were a few problems here, but work was really starting to bother me. Now I just hope that my new outlook lasts through the rest of the year. I just need to keep focusing on myself and I should really be able to move next year.

I usually live each day as it comes, but here I am making plans for the coming year. This is also coming from the same person who forgets what day of the week it is sometimes.

The local news is still talking about the storm that happened when I first got here. This really doesn't come as much of a surprise. There are still trees down everywhere and now they are questioning how the power company resolved the problem.

I think that today's entry makes up for yesterday.

Alan of heinovision got me thinking about my writing style again. I'll be the first to admit that its strange. You might even think that I fear adjectives, but that's not the reason that I write the way I do. This is how I talk. I just bark something out and then go on about something else. Its hyper and irrational at times, but its all me.

I like to think that I read too much Hemingway when I was younger.
