Hows my little love/hate pt.II?

Last night Laura and I had had a movie in the park experience and it was very wonderful. On the way we saw the nearly full moon rising over the lake, it was BEAUTIFUL!



Since it was my first movie in the park adventure I was completely un-expectant of what lay before me:


(you should click on this to really see this spectacle)

If you look at the group on the far right, they would not shut the hell up throughout the entire movie, which nearly ruined the experience for me...but my good company being Laura, and a surprise guest appearance Kristen M. Pederson made it all better. You just can't ruin Harry Potter though.

It was a good free way to spend a Friday night.

Hows my little want?

I want...

I want so much for me and my life right now and into the future I don't know where to start.
I mean I am starting in a good spot with a college degree I guess. I really enjoy my homework and what I learn in classes but I want, yearn even for something more something extra. I don't sit down at my computer nightly and read about the latest designer's poster or the newest joke about the comic sans font, no I read current events, and technology news/gossip I try to understand technology and where it is and where it's headed. If I were to walk into an interview and be asked Who is my favorite graphic designer? I wouldn't know but I could tell them the latest rumor about the iPhone or my speculation on the Sirius/XM merger, or how I could hook my Slingbox pro to an apple TV and have a really great mobile set-up.
Then again, I could just take pictures of people or things, that could get me somewhere, but not somewhere quickly unfortunately.
In life I am not really asking to be particularly wealthy nor prestigious but i want a job that will pay the bills, and still allow me to duck out early on a Friday to meet someone for ice cream on a beach.
But, I DON'T want to settle for a job, after I finish school I am going to work where I want to work.
I want to leave, I like the mid-west, I like Duluth (mostly) and I like where I grew up, but I am leaving. While working my monotonous possibly career assisting job I find myself thinking, no, dreaming of where I am going to find a place to live work and eat after I graduate. Damn if the ocean isn't within reasonable driving distance you won't find me there. Costa Rica, Hawaii, Ireland, New Zealand or Australia? all interesting prospects.
I want so much for myself I still don't know where to start, but at the end of the day when I cuddle up for sleep I smile and fall asleep knowing that it's going to work out in the end because it always does, you and I both know that.

With that goes the quote I posted earlier "Before you begin, set aside your fear."

I know a few people in life right now who read this blog who could take those few words and really think on them. I know that in order for me to achieve my wants I need to set aside my own fears which I am finally ready to do.

Hows my little love/hate?

Despite how much I bash Duluth there are still some really good things about this town. Here are a couple of them:

Hows my little inspired quote?

Very simple today:

Before you begin, set aside your fear.

I am a big fan of quotes that make me think and motivate me. This is another one that I don't think I'll forget soon.

Hows my little little post?

How am I? Pretty dang splendid, thanks.
Lately life has been good, I am just starting to get into the swing of having a 40 hour work week that works from a normal time to a normal time. But let me say, this job has proven to be much much better than any of my jobs at the Edge. Not going to school has been really really great too. Thats all for today.
