Crazy Ass July

Just tring to jot down my thoughts of the past month or so.

July was friggen rediculous.

Family stuff - even though it was a sad reason, I did get I visit my
family for several weeks. That was great. Always good to see the
family. I did however notice/learn quite a bit about how my pace of
life has changed quite a bit. Back in Rochester there really isn't to
much of a sense of urgency in anything that we do. Things are
generally a bit slower and as my sister pointed out, it made me sleep
a ton. It would seem that If my life slows down any, I get tired and
essentially stock up on my sleep for the next marathon sleepless
session. So thats interesting.

The job hunt is proving to be very fun. I came out to the bay area
early July. Had a great time and had a few really interesting
interviews. I've made some great contacts which led to other
interviews which were all great. I had to cut the trip short and head
back home for the previously mentioned family emergency. I'm back now
though. I'm on a one way ticket and I'm loving every minute of it.
I've been staying with friends and in hostels, both are sweet as all
hell. I've met people in bars that said they could get me jobs, I've
met tons of non employer people as well in the bars and its just been
a wild time.

I'm really learning how to get around in San fran and I'm really
coping well.

And holy crap I love not going to a 9-5 every day. What a waste of
time that noise is.

On that note: I've kinda had a revelation that I rushed into financial
security and basically missed out on life during my early 20s. I want
a more simple life where I buy what I want which amplifies my life
(not so much material goods) and i want to do what I want, so what the
hell was I thinking with a 9-5? And am I ready to entirely give all
that up to get drunk and make mistakes? Am I an idiot? Yes

So thats where I'm at. Oh and I wrote this post from my iPhone. I'm
still learning how that can enhance my life and loving what I find.

Thanks,
Roderic
