It's Way Too Close

So over the last year or so, my mom has been saying less what-am-I-gonna-do-with-yous, and more what-are-you-gonna-do-with- yourselfs. And the answer is always the same- I don't know. And what's more amazing is that I try to make myself out to know what I want to do with my life to certain individuals or groups of individuals, but I really just don't have a clue. And what's worse are the expectations. My brother went to the Air Force Academy. And of course he had it all planned out since we were little kids. Toppable? I think not.

Yet, while I may not have a clue, I do have some criteria. My career must be:

1) Adventurous. Boys will be boys, right? Maybe not rock climbing, but you get the point. Something dangerous is a few or so ways.

2) Spontanious. I really don't care where I get sent at whatever notice. Random things happen in this world, so the call for heroism comes to random guys like me.

3) Thought-provoking. I love figuring stuff out.... which is amazing, because if you look at my ACT scores I'm obviously not a genius. But then, I hate that brain cell killing test so I don't see how I would do well on it. We poor right-brained thinkers......:P

4) Mocho. You knew it was coming. I would love to do my work while carrying a weapon. Getting buff is also good.

Some of you are probably thinking "well go into the military". Well I might do that, but just as a way to start my life. And a way to pay for college- that's always good. But I do not want to make a career out of the military. The rest of you are thinking "liek dood have you taken an aptitude test???", and yes, I have. The same results have come up since, like, 5th grade. My attitude is "seeker" and my calling is "investigator". So, after doing some research just a few hours ago, I decided that the Secret Service, the CIA, and the FBI were all fine organizations. And they pay out the butt.... 400 grand per year as a start. I really don't care about that though, I just think it would be fun.

This all coming from a guy who's going to be thinking differently in a few days. Just watch.
