It all will fall... fall right into place...

I've been just sitting around, doing some more research on what I'm going to do here. When it kind if struck me... what about everyone else? Where are you guys at in your lives? Are you doing what you though you'd always be doing? Still striving to reach those goals or are you just happy in the little niche you've carved for yourself?

I was just wondering because my mother called me this morning, and she was asking how I was. Kind of disappointed I wasn't coming to spend Christmas with her, but kind of expected it. High hopes against the obviously inevitable. But she's lived with her uncle now for three years, and she only planned for six months. She works two jobs and doesn't pay rent, she said she's fed up with her whole family out there. Her mother is horribly lazy, spoiled, and incredibly obese, yet she takes care of her. I can understand taking care of your mother... but after soooo many years of just being used and trying to help her, she half does it to herself anymore. But she's got a degree in Interior Design, yet she works as a assitant nurse and a part time bartender at night, because she can't stand not having the Interior job she dreamed of I think... she had a couple, but quit after they weren't what she thought they were.

I was just curious at where people land I guess. My bro used to want to be an architect, a chemist and who knows what else, heheh, but now he has a real good job in marketing and contracts with a great wife and a kid... but I wonder if he still wants be an Architect or if he's just happy where he's at. My sis went to college for photography, had a real talent at it too... but now she's moved out to California with a really spiffy guy that she loves and seems kinda content... but, well I just wonder. Do the dreams just seem to fade off with time, eventually swallowed by the fast paced concrete jungle and regurgitated as another paycheck that just quenches the capitalist thirst? Or are they still there, and you just haven't found that ladder that is tall enough... yet?

On another note... Bailey's and a lil icecream is a great temporary cold reliever!... mixed with some Exedrin that is.
