running on

for some reason this last blog published before I was done. read the lyrics first then read this blog. Jackson Brown.....

I really feel like this is the lost generation part two. I see people wandering looking for things, much more so than the 70's Brown referred to in his song.

With the divorce rate skyrocketing, people moving due to work and personal choice, and people changing careers at a record rate we are all searching. I think like the sign says, we don't know what we are searching for.

I think back to my latest mid life crisis. See I have mine on the 5's not the 0's. When I turned 25 I changed my girlfriend, career path, and even my body (see exercise last year).

This one came at 35. At 35 I changed my career path, family, and education.

the 25 worked out great.

the jury is still out on changing careers and going back to school. I've pretty much decided that having another child was good (ha ha). I certainly could have never seen the ramifications of these decisions. Clearly I did not think I'd end up staring at 40 broke, divorced, living in a construction zone, and floating between low paying hard jobs.

To quote Maxwell Smart "and loving it." I am almost embarassed by this but it's true. Still was this right?

Don't get me wrong the jury is still out. I guess the point is are we really running on empty?
