Mark your calendars

Pay the cost to be the boss

So, I recall a conversation I had with my dad over a weekend. It was nice to sit down with him again. Our talks usually end up with him dropping his knowledge, while I rebeliously attempt to dispute his views. On this particular night however, he really seemed to put my obnoxious loud mouth to a halt. After a week full of midterms and papers I was exhausted. My dad asked how this week went, and i responded with a slight shrug and a typical "it was ok" response. He then proceeded to lecture me about how grades are important, and how sometimes I have to put my friends on hold to handel my own shit. This triggered my tendencies and I argued back that I only have one chance to make my college experience the best that it could be. He then said something that I can put to heart forever. "Jason, don't expect anything to be handed to you on a silver plate. In order to truly appreciate the good, sometimes you have endure the bad. Earn everything that means something to you." It was this, moment when i truly believed that everything happens for a reason, and that all the outcomes in life depends on the amount of work that was put in. I can relate to my fear of stepping into the real world, which is just around the corner for myself as well as many of my closest friends that i have made over the years. My boss gave me some friendly advice that the key to happiness is passion and balancing that passion with everyday necessities. If one sincerly believes in something, he/she should not be hesitant, but instead run towards the ends of the earth with it without looking back.

One hit wonder?

Hmmm...lets see how this turns out. Maybe I just feel like exercising my fingers. Maybe it's because I feel emo. Maybe it could be because my roommate Jeff, occasionally accuses me of being a cold hearted emotionless robot. No matter, I can't really say that i have a plan for this weblog, or should I refer to it as a "blog?" Is that what the cool kids are calling it these days? I guess my plans for this blog is to write down my thoughts into typed words, and for anyone who wants to hear me ramble. Lets think of it as the "Omg I am so bored that I'll read about Jason's rant about nothingness" blog. I feel like i have so much on my mind...Or is it that im forcing myself to actually use my brain? No, i am not some inspirational philosopher seeking to start my own cult. No, I dont have infinite knowlege. So, bear with me along this journey, whether it is short or gruesomly long. I don't mean to appear exclusive, but I'm trying this new innovative thing called "opening up to people." Some may have heard of this phrase or not, and for those who know me well, this is a pretty big deal for me. All I know is that the door is cracked open and the welcome mat is in front of you. Just make sure you wipe your feet before you come in. Enjoy.
