And then I wonder....

if I am really even supposed to acheive significant things?

Is not just helping people in day-to-day life enough?

Watching tv kills the mind as I think it has made me feel that I am less than I am and must do something to achieve something notable.

But why I ask should I? Is not achieving things that are small just as important as big things? Are not big things really just a sum of it's parts?

Perhaps we find it challenging being ok with ourselves and look for constant places of improvement.... or maybe I am lazy and choose not to improve... just depends on perspective.

Life goes on....

I often wonder if I have a purpose in life. I seem to be going through the motions of living but not really accomplishing things of import. Fixing computer problems for people is ok.... and so is working in athletics. Both are fun for me and I seem to be pretty good at them.

However, should I be looking at attaining some more lofty goal in life..... probably.... but then I realize that at heart I am a lazy individual. I float along, not really giving my best effort for much of anything because I am afraid of failure. Hence, when I fail I can console myself with having not tried as hard as I possibly could've.

That said... I also know there is probably nothing I can't do if I actually try hard... and it has happened on occasion.

Now the real quesion is how do you change the lethargic life that I live everyday into something dynamic and meaningful?

Does it take drastic action to produce that kind of change? Or would small steps suffice?

How about a self help book :o).

Maybe just writing it down helps.... hopfully.

Weekly update.. I need a more innovative title.

Well as to the good news I just got my grade back from my Psych Stats class. Looks like I passed with a 67.71% which is a C+ at Laurier.

First class passed in 2 years.... woo hoo.

Two more half-credits to go and I am done... I hope.

Just spent the morning checking out (ie taking pictures) our (Lauriers') Men's Football team at scrimmage against UW. They looked pretty good and the defense was just throwning themselves at people. It was pretty neat to watch.

Just finished the 2nd week of my new job. Things are going well so far, I am getting along with everyone and accomplishing the tasks laid before me. It is amazing how much less of a time constraint there is on you when you work full-time. Makes life a lot easier.

Done my class...

Well I finally finished a class that I will probaby pass. First passing grade in almost 2 years.

It is amazing the how much better you feel once you don't have to deal with the pressure of school anymore. However, the pressure cooker of the an exam almost gave me a heart attack. Sometimes I wonder how other people deal with it.

Not much else going on in my life right now. Going into the second week of my new job. Still have to get a handle on some of my new responsibilities... but I am not too worried. Every thing seems to function at a much slower pace then my previous job. It is nice and relaxed.... and I am enjoying that.

Laurier's Football camp starts on Monday, signalling the start to the Athletic calendar. I am not sure how much I will be able to participate this year, but I will try to cover as much as is reasonable. I already spent some time this weekend working on Football team records.

I guess that is all that is going on right now...

Sending to my blog by blackberry

Just testing to see if I can send to my blog from my blackberry. This will be useful to add random thoughts as they come to mind.... and I have a lot of random thoughts.

My Photo Website

Oh yeah... if you have time check out my photo website at here

Later.

Back up and running

Well I have decided that since some people I know are bloging... and I am actually reading them that maybe I should take yet another dive into the bloging arena.

So, in life not much going on. I have an exam to write tomorrow so this seems like a decent way to procrastinate. I guess I will actually have to start studying at some point. Maybe I will do that at work tomorrow.

Which brings me to that I have a new job that I started this week which is full-time... finally!. Doing technical support for the Faculty of Social work at Laurier. I can't believe how cheery the staff and faculty are. I think they all take a daily does of happy pills.

Anyways, that is all for now.
