What a wonderfully warm, sunny day...

What a great day it is going to be today, its going to be 76 degrees. There really is nothing like taking a ride in the Spyder with the top down, feeling the sun shine down on ya, warming not just this folicly challenged head, but warming my soul too! It always brings back warm reminders of beaches visited, and vacations of the past. I miss the roadtrips I used to make with my old bud Brian, and the bizarre stories we had , even after a mere 4-5 days out in the middle of nowhere. Just thinking about it reminds how good I am at getting into trouble, and god it was fun. Never life threatening, but always amuzing. It makes me realize at times how 'stable' I am now, compared to the years of the past. It isnt't like its just me, this happens to everyone. Its called 'growing up.' But a buddy of mine pointed out a while back that my sense of adventure (or youthful versions of it) are some of the good things that make me, well, me. Some of this adventurous spirit has been lost somewhere along the way, and I ask myself the question of 'where it went?' It isn't like being married, or having a full-time job, or having a mortgage forces me to be any different. I can still be that guy, to some varying degree, and I wonder why I got this 'safe.' I really want Chloe to know that side of me, well, minus a few legal altrications, and appreciate it.

With the mandatory employment change, it also has me looking to the bigger scope of employment, and what I want in the next 5-10 years. Much like what Bonzai pointed out yesterday, I wonder what challenge is next for me. Being self-employed sounds like a perfect fit for me, and I wonder if I will ever be able to do something along the lines of running my own small IT company. Doing jobs on the side is one thing, but I'd really like to see it as my own full time job some day. I think I am coming to the conclusion that boses suck. Most of them have a tendency to squash your ambition, because it may shadow their own.
