Can’t stop listening.
Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men
ADULTING at its finest. Do we still live in a dorm? Maybe. But you never can tell.
HEAVY AND LIGHT ENCORE 2012.
Chris Carrabba + David Bazan + William Fitzsimmons + Mariah McManus + Noah Gundersen + Abby Gundersen cover “I Shall Be Released” by Bob Dylan.
Trevor Noah in America. Makes me miss South Africa.
Of all the strangers you’re the strangest that I’ve seen.
Today I wandered up to my sister’s room to do my usual scan of her bookcase when I come home to see if anything catches my eye that happened to not catch my eye the million times I’ve done this before.
Today I found quite the gem. “Ten Things I Wish I’d Known - Before I Went Out into the Real World.” How appropriate. I haven’t read it yet, but these ten things include:
1) First and Foremost: Pinpoint Your Passion [gahhhh I don’t know what my passion is… and it seems this is everyone’s advice for finding a job.]
2) No Job Is Beneath You [I’m willing to pretty much take any job anywhere anyone will offer me something]
3) Who You Work for and with Is As Important As What You Do [does this not contradict #1 in some ways?]
4) Your Behavior Has Consequences [as it does for your whole life. maybe this is a whole different ballgame]
5) Be Willing to Fail [I hate failing, even at things like card games]
6) Superwoman Is Dead
7) Children Do Change Your Career (Not to Mention Your Entire Life)
8) Marriage Is a Hell of a Lot of Hard Work [good to know]
9) Don’t Expect Anyone Else to Support You Financially [shoot. Despite my strong independence from a young age, I was banking on this for my likely low paying job]
10) Laughter
I may have some doubts about this book and Ms. Maria Shriver’s advice, but this should be a good read. Can’t wait.
In the meantime, I’m figuring out a way to avoid all questions about my future and all unsolicited advice this Thanksgiving. And a way to be thankful for opportunities to grow, to be open-minded, and to trust.
