There is no point to this post.

First off I would like to bring back a feature that I included on my original version of futureshock. I’ll try to continue this every so often as I intend for this website to be a reflection of me. Granted you won’t know everything about me, but it’s a way for me to explain the side of me lots of people don’t get to see.

MP3 of the Moment
311 – Amber (download)

311 is one of those groups that I’ve always liked but have never bought one of their cds. Yet, they have so many amazing songs. I’ve been listening to this song all night. This is just one of those songs that I love to listen to when I’ve got things on my mind.

Anyways, it’s been a week since my last post. I only made it out running twice last week but hopefully I can fit in a 3rd or 4th run this week. I’m finally out of my place in Duluth completely. I officially have one home, in the Minneapolis area. A day rarely goes by when I wonder if I made the right decision to move here. I’ve set quite a few goals in my life and career wise I’ve managed to hit almost all of them. I had a certain salary I wanted to hit by the time I was 25 and I’m there right now. I was happy with my last job but I left Irresistible Ink for 2 reasons: opportunity and money. At Irresistible Ink there wasn’t much of a career track for me. Within Identix, there’s a ton of maneuverability. I’ve started at the bottom of the chain making the most I would have ever made at III.

Since this is somewhat my new life there’s plenty of good to go along with the bad. I’m making friendships here but they’re still not the same as my friends back home in Duluth. As much as I loathe the Twin Ports, I feel relieved when I go back. I have plenty of people I can call to hang out with. When I’m feeling down at home, I’m calling someone up in Duluth. I’ve had a few friendships grow stronger since I’ve left, the rest have for the most part remained the same. I’m definitely still at a crossroads in my life. There are a few things I have starting out that here that I hope continue to get better. There’s always an inherent fear of things not working out though. You can plan your heart out and try your hardest only to watch your plans fail. Rome fell, who am I to assume I can make things work out that aren’t meant to be. That sounded horribly pessimistic didn’t it.
