Taking Comfort

Take comfort in knowing today isn't forever

the immediate is not the future

Life is about balancing the highs and the lows

you can't have one without the other

Take comfort in knowing this isn't the worst

that has been but maybe will be

The choice is yours weather to rise or fall

and pick the path that you will lead

...I am my OWN motivation...

An Interesting challenge...

In today's economic climate, people are willing to do almost anything to save money. I have come up with a plan, which has probably been done before and isn't very exciting, but it's worth a shot.

Optimism is a funny thing...

I noticed that recently my posts have been, for the most part, pretty pessimistic. I've always fancied myself a fairly optimistic person, so this recent negative trend just needs to stop. But (like my title suggests) optimism is a funny thing.

The Under/Over Qualified debate

It's no big surprise that landing a job these days is tough. Recent graduates have it harder than they did 15, 10 even just 5 years ago. But we do what we can. We try our best and hope that it lands us some where relatively close to where we would like to be.

Airing out some baggage:

This was supposed to come right after St. Patty's day but... life happens:

Holidays are best spent with family and friends, and I have discovered a whole new reason why.

Things I Miss About School:

I never thought that I would miss GRADES!

In school I hated grades because I always felt like I could never get the right ones. I thought grades were unfair, pointless and an inaccurate portrayal of students.

Living on $10 an hour...

Basically sucks. Not as much as being unemployed, and this, my friends, is a privilege that I need to remind myself of.

So tell me again what you mean by generation WHY?

It has come to my attention that my generation/peer group, whatever you may call it, is under constant observation. The X-ers and the Boomers are anxiously awaiting to see what our next move will be, and how we are going to handle this world once the power shifts. I have similar questions for myself, however they do not harbour as much weight as the questions for my species do.

Generation Why? and who the heck is Pip??

I guess blogging is the cool thing to do now... but then again maybe I have known that all along. I have (count it) 4 blogs to my name (and one measly vlog) all in varrying levels of neglect. Why make another one? Perhaps for the opportunity to start over and actually commit to something or perhaps to simply over take the internet with my presence.
