Moving on up in this crazy world

I've found someone who was incredibly amazing and talented and a charmer (naturally). We have a lot in common and got along great. Unfortunately, he's someone that I probably will never have the opportunity to ever see again. I hate saying that. You know what? I am going to be optimistic and say that I WILL see him again. Because it could happen. And I surely hope it does.

Enough of that sappiness... <-- is that even a word? It is now.

Have you ever just woken up one morning and decided, "Hey, I know what I want for my life." Yes? Okay great, because that is what I did this morning. I've had a large amount of time to think about what it is that I want to do with my life and I have come to this conclusion: I don't want to live a normal life. (You know, the typical 9-5 job that most Americans do these days). No, I want to live an extraordinary life.

I want to live a life that takes me around the world. I want to live a life that brings joy to others. I want to live a life that is meaningful. Now, some would say that I could do that now. But au contraire mes amis. Yes, I could lead that life here and now however, I want to do more. I want my life to be BIG and EXCITING. I want to find myself in another country for a few months filming movies. I want to meet a MILLION people or more. So, I have decided that I am going to look into taking acting classes. Or just find roles that I can audition for and start from there. I have always wanted to see myself on the 'big screen' because I have felt that when a person has gotten there, you know that they have really accomplished something. They have worked incredibly hard to do well for themselves and now it is paying off. Up until now, I have worked incredibly hard for my bachelor's degree in Sociology and now where has it gotten me? A job at a bakery where I spend countless hours putting together boxes, slapping stickers on plastic containers, and selling fattening cakes to people. And then I meet people like the individual I met Sunday night and I think to myself, "If he can do it, so can I!" So that is just what I am going to do. I know that it will happen one day. I am up for the challenge God. I am going to work really, really hard and it is going to pay off. For now, I need to stick it out at my little bakery job because one day I will be thanking them for giving me the job when I needed it the most. Besides, I did say I wanted to work in a bakery someday. Better now than later.

But now - onto the next, bigger and better task! I've got a life to start living!
