Yup, posting again today. I am soooooo bored right now. Sick and having nothing to (actually a good thing come to think of it-need the recovery time) sucks. I started a Myspace account for myself out of sheer boredom, plus I wanted to see some people's blogs and I needed to be a member to view them. Always a friggin' catch. Currently, The Beatles-S/T (AKA The White Album) is on......"Blackbird" right now at this second....just played one of my fav songs off this album, "I'm So Tired" a second ago. I caught myself singing that out loud earlier, and here we are, had to listen to it.
I'm not bored because I have time on my hands, but because I want things to get going so I can start working towards some goals I set. My patience to get things going is wearing thin at the moment. I've told a small handful of people what those are. Basically, since they're so drastic, I need to sit on everything until the time is right to tell. It was super hard to do that last weekend, all the immediate and extended family asking me what my plans are-I basically had to lie, a lie of omission, but a lie nonetheless. Boo. I'm very anxious to see where I am this time next year, it's been a few years since my future was a complete blank slate. I like it, well, a bit that is. As I was discussing with someone last night, I am beginning to get a little worried about those things like personal savings, retirement, etc. I have no plans on settling down anytime soon, the option to pick up and go has always been a fav of mine. I do know that the closer I get to 30 however, the likelier I am to want to settle my ass down. I already had a small taste of that earlier this year, which I am writing off as my brain kicking me in the ass. My dad had no savings and was/still is very concerned about his retirement. I learned that lesson right then and there. Closing in on fifty and realizing that your only pension is the CPP and your OAS sucks. Trust me, now that I took that public finance expenditure course, I KNOW those all suck. CPP? OAS? GIS? You cover your basic cost of living and that's it. Greta for people who just hope to exist in their winter years, but I see me travelling, going to school (yes-again), spoiling the shit outta grandchildren in my retirement.
Oh, we reached "Julia", another awesome song. I was gonna say there are no good songs with my name, but there is Tenacious D isn't there? heh heh. "...Fucking Lee!!" Awesome.
Back to my ramble. It's all about the footer quote on this page. Go ahead, look, I'll wait. Now you see. So while I enjoy randomly moving my ass around the place to be with new/different people, jobs, schools.....I am looking to keep my ass outta the poorhouse in 2050. I have to plan ahead thinking that these two things will occur (1) I WILL live to be that old, and (2) Society will not crumble, money will still be how we procure goods and services, and inflation will be a bitch by my retirement. I need to keep myself the manager of my retirement too, as nowadays, people no longer have one career that will give them an awesome pension plan after their 25th year with the firm. Shit, most people with BA's become "consultants"-i.e. self-employed. What I'm getting at here is that unless I become a career military man (or politician-two terms and it's pension time baby!) I am guaranteed nothing.
So, you can see why I'm impatient. I'm sitting here watching the time slip by-only problem is time has to pass anyway before I can get started. Hmmm.....I guess my real problem is that I have little to distract myself with until the time is right to act. People come home from break! Flu go away already! Let's start school!.....hmm...didn't work.
bonne nuit.....to anyone who reads this tonight.....otherwise, good whatever time it is right now.
