LIFE..........

Wow!!! I haven't typed up a blog in 4 months and, yet, I don't feel like I've missed it one bit. I stopped writing for a while and decided to start living for a bit. I hit up a few clubs, went to a few parties, even hung out with a few young ladies, still maintaining a balance between work and school. I went through a few ups and downs but I always stayed positive throughout. I even had a drink or five (just one night after finals..no one was hurt and I still had money in my pocket when I woke up. WIN)..... But I haven't had another nor do I have the desire to since the spring school semester is about to start. I guess things are kind of going just as I have wanted them to for the longest. Now tomorrow (December 29th) is my birthday. I accept money, home-cooked meals, more money, hugs with money being stuffed in my pockets while hugging, etc. I'm struggling a bit. Nothing serious, just with the decision of building a career versus building a life. I'm studying to be an accountant, which is an interesting (I'm lying, its as boring as watching grass grow and paint dry) field. When I graduate, I will earn both my bachelors and masters degrees along with the designation of being a Certified Public Accountant. I will land a six figure job or have the option of opening up my own firm as well as becoming a professor at a university and teach others. Everything that I have just mentioned represent the goals that I have laid out over the past 2 years. It's what I've been working towards and what I will accomplish. The problem that I have is that, lately, questions have been swirling around my head like "Is this the career path that I really want?" "Will I have a life?" "Do I want to have a family?" "Will Tebow ever QB in the NFL again?" Ok maybe not the last question but you catch my drift. What I'm thinking is that, the closer I am to reaching my goals, the more obstacles enter the equation. Whether it's issues at work, with women, etc., there will always be roadblocks on the path to success. But it's not about the roadblock, it's about the reaction to it. All of these questions floating in my head make want to do what I've been doing, which is cutting myself off from the negativity, putting my head down and going to work. I think Ill just stick with that and let the chips fall where they may. Short and sweet. I feel like I just needed to type to get out of my head for a little while. I cant guarantee there will be a blog next week but, if there is, I'll get a little deeper in detail about how things are. Until then. www.twitter.com/thefakejcoston www.facebook.com www.offthecorner.net
