when i got to work to day the big boss man gave me a special assignment. the objective? to drive a sign up to Seattle. this is a good thing. a work day spent on the road. and to make things better, i was to deliver the sign using a huge flatbed diesel truck. this truck is so big, you can run over a hummer and mistake it for a speed bump.
all and all i had a good work day. i pretended i was a nobel explorer heading north to Alaska. no need for a road map. no need for a compass. just freedom and the open road.
but.... reality found me and i lost the dream. its all about the money. working hard for a paycheck. thats all this was. this unique opportunity to explore the northwest
was just a job "working for the man". now, i did have fun. and i am working. so that is something to be thankful for. BUT DAMIT! i have decided that after i save some more money. i will quit this 9-5 crap! i will only work jobs that make me happy. i will not stay in one place to long. and ill get the most out of whatever time i have left on this planet. is this how everyone feels in there twenty's?

Yeah, it's how you feel. I think it's how we all feel. There's this big conflict between doing what should be done and doing what makes you happy. There's no real solution.
From my most recent novel (paraphrasing): This story is about the lives, in part, of people in their twenties. Feel free to skip over this part because it is hard to make twenty year olds interesting. We dream big, want to do this and that, claim to be free and strong - but we lack the money to do any of it so really it's just the recount of a beggars fancy living.
