point of view

i hate taking a point of view. it takes so much work to take a stake in the ground and say "this is what I am doing for the next year". how does one focus ones adult life in the best way possible.

i've been trying to find a balance in the continuum of being too creative and the other side of being too rigid. the problem with most things is that most people want a clear hook to wrap their brain around you. quite frankly, there is no clear hook around me.

i am a creative person who wants to spread my ideas to the world. the problem with this definition is that often the path from idea to spread ideas to the world, is long and fraught with obstacles, and often involved coordination with many people. i've been mulling over the idea of switching over to corporate land where things are much more stable and regimented in terms of process.

the biggest take away from my implementation class, is that life is about finding the right scope of challenges to take on. now that i have graduated, the world has opened up at an overwhelming speed, but i continue to feel like the opportunities around me are few and far in between. how could one simultaneously have these two feelings? but i do.

my friend chris took his dog who lives in central valley with a nice yard to his small san francisco apartment. i forgot her name, but lets call her dolly. dolly was frightened to death of the new environment so she stayed in chris's room, tail between her legs. chris discovered a neat way to open her up, she put a leash on her neck and soon dolly opened up and walked around the house, bright eyed and willing to explore. after an hour or so chris took the leash out and she was happy to run about the house.

was college supposed to be the leash? i think i need a little more leash time.

one nonsequitur. i have decided to not capitalize any of my sentences for this blog and i must say it has increased my productivity by probably 5%.

Steve Jobs is so awesome. Its really disappointing that he's sort of an asshole as a person. But its ok, he's still pretty damn awesome. I really liked this interview that he did with wired magazine.
