CrunchTime

I'm currently in the thick of decision country and I want to decide which job to take by tomorrow. I'm still waiting on the details from one of my options, so I can't really make the decision until then, but each job represents an opportunity and unfortunately, two opportunities I won't take. Each job has it's strengths, and each has it's drawbacks, and I've got to decide which one I'll ultimately take and thereby direct the course of my life for the next year and beyond. The job I take now will become my "Prior-Experience" for my next job, and guide what field I'll work in. Sure, I won't pin myself ddown to any one field with one decision, but this is an important decision, and a responsibility I need to tackle head-on. Do i want to work in Radar, in Chip Design, or in Cellular/RF communications? I really don't know. I want to create. I want to I want to be proud of what I do. I want to act. I want to fly.

Oh yeah, and I still want to be on Star-Trek. The second episode of Enterprise was good last night. Better than the first in that I was expecting the crappy song (which is still there, but it was no surprise) and there weren't any pandering sexy-scenes. Way to go, team.

Shields up, Hoes Down

Dave coined that one yesterday as the Star Trek Marathon got underway in full-force. We're trying to tape a lot of the episodes because it's always nice to have Star Trek on Tape, and I don't want to let myself spend my unemployed week watching TV, even if it's amazing TV. So, right now, instead, I am sifting through old 4-track tapes listening to the tiny snippets of good moments in a sea of non-directed poorly executed solo-ing. It's pretty difficult to "Jam" with yourself, but I've found ways around it.When I die, musical historians will digitally remaster these tapes and sell them to Silverchair to carry them through the next decade.

Goal Oriented

Eveytime I sit down to a meal, the meal is seen as a single unit. It doesn't matter what size the serving is, I'll eat until everything in front of me is gone. I'm not sure why I do it, because I typically end up eating until I feel overstuffed and disgusting, but I do it because it just seems like the way things ought to go. Part of it is that I dislike wasting money/food, so I don't want to not get ALL of the enjoyment out of what I pay for, even when eating it realistically ruins some of the enjoyment by making me feel so inflated that I don't want to be touched for fear that I'll throw-up or explode. The same thing goes for when other people are done eating their food and they're going to throw it out. Kevin often quotes me as saying "Eat it, you own it!". So, nowadays, Erica and I often split a meal and I've found that to work well because it keeps the over-eating down without my actually having to take responsibilityfor my actions and tell myself to stop eating.
