Class is done with

So although this blog was started with the greatest intentions and academic motives, that semester and period of my life is over. Who knows how long this period sans-school will last. For now, I'm just gonna have to survive with the ole liberal arts degree, job I dislike and the struggle to find something that makes my heart go pitter patter in this city.
Ahh, finding that Core-thing that strums the heart strings, its elusive...especially at this age. Don't you just wanna do everything. If you can get your hands on the song Twenty Something by Jamie Cullum, then do it and listen. His subtle Jazz loungey brilliance will shine some light into my words now. But thank God (seriously...thank him) that we are as blessed as we are. I mean the ability to dabble in the many things that life has to offer, is in itself unheard of for most of the people who have ever lived and died on this planet. I think Ben Parker said it best in Spiderman ..."With great power comes great responsibility." (All those religion and philosphy classes and thats what I quote). Don't think we have power, think again.

Its nothing like hearing it, I've written that Jamie cullum songs lyrics below. Enjoy.

-After years of expensive education, a car full of books and anticipation
I'm an expert on Shakespeare and thats ahelluva lot, but the world don't need scholars as much as I thought.
-Maybe I'll go traveling for a year, finding myself or start a career
I could work for the poor, but i'm hungry for fame.
We all seem so different but we're all just the same
-Maybe I'll go to the gym so I don't get fat
Aren't things more easy with a tight six pack
Who has the answers, who do you trust, I can't even seperate love from lust.
-Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans,
Working nine to five answering phones,
Don't make me live for my friday nights, drinking 8 pints and getting in fights
-I dont want to get up, just letme lie in,
Leave me alone, I'm a Twentysomething
-Maybe I'll just fall in love, that could solve it all!
Philosophers say that thats enough, Surely there must be more!

Love ain't the answer, nor is work
The truth eludes me so much it hurts!
but i'm still having fun and I guess thats the key,
I'm a twentysomething and I'll keep being me

I'm a twentysomething...I'm a twentysomething leave me alone...lemme lie in.
