Today I started a new job. I'm training this week with a limo company. so far it's been great. I'll be riding along with a few other drivers for the next couple of days and then I'll be on my own routes soon. Maybe by Thursday. I'm also contemplating subbing for the local school district until my hours pick up.
I love driving!! I'll see if I love it after doing it for a full time job. Just got to wait and see.
One of my best friends spent Saturday and part of Sunday with me. It is amazing how as much as things change yet how similar they tend to stay. 12 years of friendship and here we are still discussing and philosophizing like the college days of old. more world weary and a little slower (a few creaky bones) but still dreaming nonetheless!
Staying up till 2am ain't what it used to be the next morning. Longer it takes now to recoup!
my mind is still and I hope always is youthful and inquisitive.

Searching for God knows What
Donald Miller is one of the most gifted writers I've come across in a long time. He lays out life and faith with acute attention to our common human condition. Why we seek to find our identity and value from anything and everything outside ourselves, is a questions I've pondered for quite some time. Is the striving how are are meant to be or is it because something in us is missing? Is that why we (humanity) strive for status, fight wars, and push at the bonds of knowledge?
I highly recommend "Searching for God knows what" by Donald Miller.
also his other book "blue like jazz".
So many questions to ponder. so much life to live

Yippee!
I just found out that I've been accepted to school Colorado! Yippee!
This next year will be spent in a new place learning a new skill. I hope it will be enlightening and invigorating. It will be another year of change, (the one constant in life) of introspection and artistic expression.
the actual move is a couple of months a way so to keep busy in the meantime I've been looking for part-time work. I'd like to get steady work driving. I love driving!
I could see myself as a limo driver. I had an interview today with one company so I should hear back from them in the next couple of days.

what a few months will do!
Let's see... I had just started acting class, my vocation was sales and I had yet to have my birthday. My how time is a' flying!
I'm halfway through acting class, plans are in motion for me to move east to the Rockies and I've left that sales job behind.
going back to school full-time is what is drawing me east and a slower pace of living. and hopefully cheaper way as well. just 3months left here on the sunny coast.
I've applied but not heard back from them, however the commitment is made to move regardless.
jumping into the unknown I'm fraught with interpretation, you would think that I'm an old hat at it. no I still get those butterflies.
some days I'm more confident than other days. Last couple of days not so confident.
maybe not employed at the moment has something to do with it. I have realized that my Identity is meshed with my work or lack of it. why is that? It is like my validation as a man, must come from outside me. I can see the strain on my wife. I am meant to be the bread winner, at least that is what I feel.
my energy is sapped. it may have something to do with a lack of spiritual life. or a spiritual life that is neglected. I know it is a consequence of my choices.
I'm stuck in a rut. a malaise before the move. Time to change habits. today is not over I will not give up! knowing what to do and doing what you should are two different things.
God give me grace and strength to be all that you created me to be

Trying something new
Last Friday I began taking an acting class! It's focus is film and TV. I've always wanted to try my body at it. I love to watch movies!! I'm fascinated by complex characters and the choices that they make. The camera illuminates life in a well written scene. I think it would be fun to be part of the process of bringing life to the written word.
I'm excited to see where this new adventure will take me!

A Willow St. Christmas!
December 21, 06
I'm posting to day from Willow St. PA. After a cross country trip on planes, trains, and automobiles, we arrived at the folks Willow St. homestead. My brothers, with their wives and children are converging in from their various locals. A few members are still slated to arrive in the next day or two. As expected the year or two we have spent apart is bridged with ease. What a blast to catch up with each other!
I am blessed beyond measure to be one of a many brothers and two sisters. 10 is such a great number! Thanks mom and dad!

Is your life a Gift?
It's been a month since I last wrote. Time marches on.
What have I been doing in the between time? Switching places of employment, playing around with my new web cam that my wife bought me. It's really fun to play around with. I'm planning to post a video or two here but I haven't taken the time to go through the full tutorial yet.
I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" staring Meryl Streep & Anne Hathaway last night and the story really made me think about my own journey and where I am. I'm working to pay the bills not doing the job I love. I think this blog is about searching for what that ideal job is for me. The job I'm put here on this earth for. and Since I haven't found what I'm looking for yet, I'll keep searching.
Speaking of searching.... We had a friend stay with us who is moving to Colorado and she has invited us to stay with her. To check out relocating there to live. My wife and I agree it might be a great place to live. It would be next spring. and what would I do there? Massage Therapy seems to keep coming up. It is calling out to me. But my rational mind says I can't raise a family on it, can't afford the schooling, etc...
Any massage therapists out there that can give me advice? I think I need to get out of my comfort zone and face my fears! Kind of risky Yikes!
I just spent a couple hours chatting with one of my brothers. check him out at http://www.hiramring.com/ He rocks!
What are we here on this earth for? To share the Gift inside us with others as a blessing.
