Better Luck Tomorrow?

I write this blog in transition ... I suppose what I mean is that tomorrow for the first time in a very long time I will be unemployed ... and when I think about it, I'm really not worried or consumed about the prospect

I have thought recently that most of my life I have worked to get to a point where my future is somewhat certain or fixed ... isn't that why you academically achieve ... why you go into certain career paths ... go to the best schools?


Sure, it is ... I'm not depressed, but I see with great clarity that uncertainty is a part of all our lives ... actually uncertainty is certain... and is a key element to the movie I saw recently Better Luck Tomorrow (Look at my Sunday blog, if you want a review of that movie)


From this point on, what direction will my life take? .... when I think about it, nothing is certain ... What will happen next? ... all that seems relevant is this thought that perhaps tomorrow will be better ... a hope that tomorrow will bring me fortune or show me a different way


It's funny but the new single by Voivod "We Carry On" (lyrics below) really captures the essence of the transition and change that I feel in my life right now ... so thanks to the Warriors of Ice for the interesting take on transitions


So we are ready for more adventures
No crystal ball to see the future
Driven by a need to create
On every mile we ride our fate


In my heart
In my soul
In my blood
In my bones


It really does make you feel strong
Like you would be forever young
Day after day sharing and giving
Reinventing the ways of thinking


In my heart
In my soul
In my blood
In my bones
In my hands
On my face
In my eyes
Here's my rage


This is our time
This is our song
This is our lives
We carry on


No need to say, it's far from pure
Once you've touched it, there is no cure
We ride our way throughout the sun
We just got here, and now we're gone


In my dreams
In my hope
In my fear
In my goals
In the sky
All around
In the light
Underground


This is our time
This is our song
This is our lives
We carry on


From the Luau, on the first day of May ... this is my life, I carry on

thanks for the nice thoughts you guys (and gals) ... today was a restful and fun day, i think i will rest a bit and then plunge back into the workforce

Hello There! I'm not sure what you used to do but I'm sure you'll find something else you'll like. Good luck with the job hunt. If not, take a little vacation. :)

Yah. I'm not worried about it either. You can work anywhere you want. geez. I wish I could just quit but I gotta feed my doggy. :)
