What color is my parachute?

So I suppose we all go through this crisis of faith in life. I can not find my path, but I have learned this much. Trust your gut.

Last weekend I went all the way down to Miami to attend an orientation for a PhD program I was accepted into. Somewhere around hour 5, I realized this isn’t what I want to do with my life. As I phrased it that day “this isn’t where I parked my car.”

I guess what irks me is I am 31 and still unable to hang a label around my neck. It’s cool to be this free floating unencumbered Renaissance man, but I need somewhere to hang my metaphysical hat on this journey called adulthood.

I did a BA in English, because I love to write. I did a masters in Computer Science because the English BA wasn’t exactly knocking down doors. Essentially, I have all the skills to be an unpaid blogger. Can you get a job in blogging? Maybe a gossip blog or some actual news?

So lets all have a prayer vigil for Paris Hilton. Why is this news? She did something dumb and now has to deal with the repercussions. I don’t know that she is a bad person. Just let this be a lesson to all the spoiled little girls with oversize glasses and purses stuffed with little dogs that no matter who you are, when you break the rules, there are consequences. I think our generation has forgotten that and someone like Paris Hilton should serve her time and try to be a positive example for her fans. Will she? Who knows?


There, that is celebrity gossip. Now can I have a paycheck?
