It's been a while sine I've posted anything on my blog. In fact this will be my fourth posting. I'm now 34. 34 and ˝ to be Moler about it (I am a child of the 80's). My daughter is now 1 year old and besides that my life hasn't moved on. Well hasn't move on by my own design, I'm just getting swept along by events, other peoples events. In fact this has been the situation most of my life.
I'm not say life has been handed to me on a silver platter, but lets face it I'm male, white, well educated, native english speaker, in good health and I grew up on a farm but I'm not working class. These make the path through life a bit easier for me. But until now I just being wandering all over the place with no real idea what I want to do or where I want to go. The ebb and flow of daily life has overall guide me, but with shear luck I am where I am.
I have a decently job as an engineer, which I hate. I get a good wage, but not fantastic. I'm smarter than the average bear, but lack of motivation is my let down. I have a beautiful wife who I love and she loves me and a beautiful daughter......no buts here, that arrangement I'm very happy with...but my wife is the motivation powerhouse, I'm really just guided by that. Moving to London, six month travelling the world, getting married, have a baby are all originally her ideas.
Don't get me wrong, I am not lazy per say, but until now if I don't get directions or a plan I stall. I do my bosses bidding. I have plenty of ideas but only give them when asked. I'm very capable but only do when told.
I want a better job, one I actually like. I want a hobby, not just feel tired at in the evening and just watch TV. I want to change the world....well some part of it for better.
So this blog marks the turn around. My line in the sand. It time I'd really plan what I want to do with my life, time to prepare.
