Life update.

Since I haven't been around too much on the blog, just thought I would give a general life update from the last few days.

1) This weekend:

Pretty good. Actually, went to two very different parties. Saturday I started at my Protege's BBQ. It was really fun. I really like her and her hubby's cohorts. I plan on forever crashing her events from now on!

Following that I went to Devil'sAdvocate's housewarming party. Cdizz and I happened to be the only right wingers there. I was informed by Devil'sAdvocate beforehand that I was to be mute when politics came up. However, I was poked and irked by general stupidity and liberalism that I was forced to set the record straight. How do you keep silent when one of the attendees insists on calling money earned by military personnel "blood money"? I about died. Following that the liberals began demanding rich people work less so they don't have to pay as much in taxes. I am not kidding. They actually openly admitted they were fine with individuals not reaching their full potential all to avoid taxes; Thus, proving why socialism will stifle a society. Following that ridiculousness they then began asserting why public transportation was necessary. What really irked them was they couldn't "convince" me. The night ended with one shouting at me, as if you talk louder I will then agree. I really am fine with liberals, but I tend to throw them for a loop when I just refuse to agree with their "compassionate giving". That and when I use facts they apparently know nothing of such as basic American and 20th Century Western History.

2) This week:

So far it has been study study study. I am taking tomorrow off to head up to some hot springs. My day off is just in time too- today my brain literally turned off. I can't even understand a basic percentage. So- breaktime.

3) Ayatollah Obama:

Finally, I will leave you with this great news story. I turned on the usual Fox News at lunch and saw that apparently BO attempted to force protesters away from the usual protesting area outside the White House. Of course the White House is denying that the police's attempt to move the protesters was independent of them, but who is actually believing this story? Protesting areas in the nation's capital are used daily and are standard. Apparently the capital police aren't aware of them?

Way to pull a Chavez. Can't wait for the new financial regulations. Also, does anyone else find the Goldman Sachs timing a little bizarre?

We should all follow our dreams.

I write as I listen to Miley Cyrus...by choice. I think I might have to see her movie this weekend. I know, I'm a horrid person.

So since I told my boss this morning, it is official. Law degree in hand, I'm heading into a competitive industry that just calls my name. I accepted an offer and signed papers to work for the Investment Gurus downtown. I have some financial tests to take before I move into the corner office (jk) and they are ever so kindly sponsoring me. Words cannot describe how excited I am. As my new boss so accurately said it, jump in the cold pool and stop putting your toe in while sitting along the side.

It occurred to me that a lot of people around me are choosing to follow their dreams, even in a hazardous market. Satan has some prospects which would blend his computer tech with his true passion, cars. It basically sounds perfect for him and if all works out he can make money doing the things he loves. Devil'sAdvocate took a risk and went back to school so she could make a career doing something she loves and not something that just "pays the bills". Another friend is looking for a job that incorporates her hobby. I hope we all can be brave and make it happen for us. It is ultimately up to us as individuals to find our way and work hard doing it.

Drinks tonight with the lovely ladies of my office. It will be fun. I will really miss my coworkers and our office environment.

Good days ahead.

Today I woke up with a real life plan. That is something that has never happened to me. I feel like maybe I'm finally on the highway to life ready to get into the fast lane. If we are staying with the "roadway" metaphor, I think my last 20 years have been a bit of a dirt road. The last six months not a county maintained dirt road. (That metaphor was really for my Nevada County peeps.)

I've officially signed my life away with the Investment Gurus. Something one should feel nervous about, but to be honest, I'm ready. I want to bring my A-game and see what challenges are out there. As soon as everything is cleared and official I will let you all know about the big change.

Was talking to Cdizz about how our lives are so divergent. For being besties things never happen for us at the same time. I suppose major life changes don't really time themselves so they can coincide with one's partner in crime. Today I woke up believing that someday, sooner rather than later, we will both be kicking back in Point Loma with our significant others laughing about these last four years.

For now that is all. I have some major topics (read: Healthcare) to discuss, but I'm too happy to allow politics to bring me down. Tomorrow looks as promising as today. Gonna sip some drinks with the girls at work.

Finally, would like to welcome Devil'sAdvocate, while a old player in my life, she is a new character in the blog.
