I’m ashamed
Wow, I’ve had nothing to say for almost a week now. It harkens back to the good ol’ days at UNO when I had nothing to say about anything on my website. I like the word “harken.”
I have had things to say, lots of things, and thoughts have been (as usual) flying through my mind all the time, I think about a lot of things, I process through things, and mostly I worry about things. I think about things all the time, trying to solve problems, trying to learn something, whatever it is that I’m doing, and then when I step back I realize that I have nothing substantial to say as far as posting something up for others to read.
That really says something to me. A few things:
A). I talk to myself way too much.
B). Maybe all the things I sometimes spend my day thinking about are sometimes quite pointless.
C). All my thoughts are about ME.
Sad but true….
I watched Pres Bush’s press conference this morning that was on around 11:00 AM (CST) and I have to say, I was kind of unnerved by him. Did anyone else see it or feel that way? I usually don’t comment on President Bush or politics too much because I freely admit that my ignorance gives me no position to do so. And I’m not commenting on anything specific as far as what he said, but his whole mannerism made me feel, shall we say….not all that confident in him. I am the first one to say, “Hey, put yourself in the man’s shoes. He’s been President of what is thought to be the “most powerful nation in the world” during the last 6+ years which have included some of the worst things to happen to America ever. Sounds like one man can’t sanely handle all of that pressure, and of course he’s frazzled.”
But, everything he said was so jumpy and almost bordering on defensive. He was cutting reporters off with one word answers. Personally, I think he needs a break. If I was him, I probably would have bit my lip, and my chin would have quivered…and I would have had tears well up in my eyes and would have said, “(Sigh)….You know….(pause to gain composure)…I am trying my best….(voice shaking)…I’m tired and I’m scared….and I can’t do everything..(tears flowing freely)…I love you guys and I’m not perfect, but I’m really trying….I just want someone to hold me…”
And that’s why I will never be President.
I didn’t watch the press conference, but nuclear weapon technology in the hands of a deranged dictator who supplies weapons to Iran and Syria (and thus terrorist groups) doesn’t leave me with a warm fuzzy.
um yeah. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be the president. I just would be going crazy by now.
Yeah maybe he is lucky this time and will find the promissed WOMD… who knows?
well, at least he’s not passive about the whole thing I guess. Whatever, I’m not taking sides and like anyone cares if I would!
I think we would have freaked out if he would have said that he wasn’t sure if there were WOMD and then they actually had them, and used them….
Hi Jodi…I think you should work full-time at a job doing what you want to do as a first step. Even though the job might be low paying at first…you would be moving in the direction you want to go. Sure, many jobs in the area you want to pursue are easier to get with a master’s degree, but it is hard to justify spending the money for a master’s degree without first having worked a bit in the area.
Work experience will help you see if you really like doing work in an area…it will also give you time to sort out your passions and how to reconcile them with the need to make some money, etc.
