Power To The Players

So I'm at work helping this young lady pay her cellphone bill, when we engage in conversation about Florida. I go on to tell her that I was thinking about going to college for video game design in Florida. She chuckles and says "wow...OK". Not only was this the most awkward 2 minutes of my day it was also the most disappointing. I know many people see gaming as a waste of time, stupid, boring amongst other things. But to those who grew up with the industry its more than just a pass time. Like me, gamers around the world are driven to their passion just like any football, basketball or baseball players are to theirs. And we should be looked at no different. Those who are laughing now will be the ones in awe later, for the gamers of today will be the virtual pioneers of tomorrow. You laugh at our lifestyles, but you envy our jobs and our paychecks! And to the women who share our emotion I raise my controller to your pride. You are few among many but as cool as they come. So POWER TO THE PLAYERS, we will soon rule the entertainment industry!!

Retail Hotel

Working in retail is very much like staying at the Hotel California, "You can check out anytime you'd like but you can never leave". I personally think retail jobs eat up the majority of the work force in any area simply because the tasks are simple, and the pay is OK (at best). However working these jobs can feel like years of servitude to the devil himself. Of course I'm speaking for the average employee and not upper management. I have yet to work a single retail job where I actually felt valuable to the company. The feeling you will likely get is more like expendable. Now this is only one mans opinion but I swore I would never work another retail job as long as I live. I'd rather manage an unsuccessful chain of lime-aid stands. Whatever it is that I do, I know I wont be ringing that familiar clerk bell ever again...I hope.

Second Coming

Today I have decided to spend every waking moment tying to renew myself. Whether it'll be facing challenges I was too afraid to face before, or simply wearing a new pair of socks every single day as long as I can keep up the expense. I yearn for a change in my daily cycle, more now than ever. I'm sure many of you can relate. Well I say Lets not wait until the earth turns for us. Let us all step up and turn the world ourselves! We are only born once, but that does not mean we can not renew ourselves. This movement will be my Second Coming...when will yours be?

Genesis

I have always dreamed about new beginnings. Even as a little child. I had a mountain that was higher than any other, with a vista only God could possibly see. There were greens, beautifully rich greens that could not be described by the color itself. A place that I kept in my heart and in my mind till this very day. A new beginning for me and me alone. I was always alone. Even now as I want more than ever to be around all the people whom I love dearly. I can never close my eyes and be there with anyone. I created this place as a child, and I will never truly understand why I created such a place. To escape? To leave behind all that I'm afraid of? I don't know...
