tame tame tame. tame tame tame tame tame. zach says "maybe one day". arjune says "nyah nyah". chad says "cmon niv, conform".

tame!

i've had conversations with zach and arjune today about all of this, and i think, besides putting up with arjune's relentless taunting (not really), i figured out more that i need a job that i care about more than my current job. i feel z on the "maybe one day" bit, but i also think that it's a bit easier to risk things now, when i don't have any dependencies and my parents are around to help me out with shit, than it would be in 10 years. gotta be risky now. what am i waiting for?

anyways, i was surprised at the tame-ness and conservative thought from yesterday's comments. i was sure someone would sweep in with a "you might as well fuck around now while you can"

now for something completely different

one year ago i stayed up late with this girl that i really liked and we kissed for the first time. technically, it was really early on the 13th of april, but for all intensive purposes, i've been with jennifer clark for one year as of today. it's hard to put into words what that means to me and what she means to me, which is why i've avoided the whole subject of my wonderful girlfriend for the most part.

some things cannot be properly expressed in words. no wait, that isn't true. i'm just not capable of doing it yet.

For what it's worth, some things CAN'T be put properly into words, unless you happen to be Tolstoy, who can somehow make everything understandable and believable where all other writers in the history of time fail miserably. So...don't worry about becoming capable of putting everything into words, cause you aren't Tolstoy.

and job stuff...now is absolutely the time to make a risky move if you are going to make one, but now is also the time to pay your dues to be in a position you want to be in down the line. Right now, my boss does the following on a regular basis: think strategically about how companies can use sports sponsorships to advance their cause. Make presentations on said subject. Work with the NHLPA on advancing its cause in the public forum, which is hugely important in any highly visible work stoppage. These are things I would love to be doing. So while I could do something crazy now, I am also prepared to pay my dues for a while to get where I REALLY want to be. The key is finding a job that you can enjoy now and will also lead to more enjoyment later. Or making a crazy step that, if successful, will support you for a long time to come. And I'm up for that as well.
