After my rant about photography the other day, I found myself checking out the new iWork info over at Apple’s website. Know what I think I’ve hit on? I like to be creative. I don’t really have a need to buy (or rather, upgrade) this software. I did once upon a time, when I was still in college. And I miss it. I miss the opportunity to create things. I thoroughly enjoyed putting things together and impressing others.

Now what do I do? It’s not as if I’m necessarily bored or anything, but I have a deep desire or drive to be the best at whatever it is I do. Why? Why the competitive streak? I have no idea. It is what it is, I guess. And now it dawns on me, this is why people get involved so heavily in extra curricular activities – they’re bored, and need a creative outlet to make themselves feel valuable & ingenious. I guess I’ll have to find myself a hobby.

Maybe photography or something ☺



Plan for a Hobby
Actually, when I get a more “fixed” schedule at my new job, I have plans to take up Tae Kwon Do or something. Ju-Jitsu. Yoga. Chess. Something.

But probably not Chess. Or Yoga. Neither of those would help me to defeat Jason Bourne or John Rambo (Rambo would totally kick Bourne’s ass, btw).



And my computer needs a use, too
There shouldn’t be a need to ask, but I really really like using my computer (because it’s a Mac is the answer to the question “why?”). And I enjoy being creative with it, because I can make whatever I can think of, from beautiful photographs to nailed-down reports to flyers to letters to – well, anything really.

And I don’t want this little blog to be it, dammit, I want to to take over the world with it or something. Cure cancer. Rid the world of hunger. Dispel racism. Maybe thwart republican-ism, that’d be a worthwhile endeavor. Something. I want a newer-faster-better computer, but more than that, I want to need a newer-faster-better computer. Does that make sense to you all?



Why Rich, Famous people try to kill themselves

Clearly the answer is money doesn’t buy happiness.

But what strikes me as odd is that though this may be true (or so they say – I’ve not had the chance to test it out) I haven’t seen any Famous, Rich people at my door to give me all their evil, evil cash. And clearly, they should be doing this. Time to call a few publicists or something.

Peace, all you poor, happy people.
