BienvenidosTwo Thouand Eight

Hello New Year,

I'm 25 now, and figured by now it would start to get a little easier, but alas, like before I have been mistaken. Not to say by any stretch that my life is difficult or filled with daily strife or famine. Come to think of it, I don't even know anyone battling with famine. I sell insurance, but am not an insurance agent, or an insurance salesman for that matter. I do exactly what I stated, I sell insurance, and am licensed to do so all throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Insurance agents and/or salesmen do it professionally, it is their art, their profession. I on the other hand, have bills that need paying, and a taste for the arts that requires dollars to tame its hunger. Therefore I peddle piece of mind to the general public, not particularly in love with it, however I'm not filing for divorce of the job just yet either. I wish I could say something definitive that I would rather be doing, but I have come to a conclusion that I am ambitiously ambiguous, and for a few months, that was a problem to me, however I have come to a better understanding that this is pretty normal for a guy my age.

I'm 25 and most of my buddies, are in the same place. Recently graduated, working some lame job, adjusting to paying bills and being all responsible and what not. Most of them are unsatisfied witih their jobs. Most have steady girlfriends, and some are single, oddly enough the majority of the single ones are the more miserable. Slowly, one by one, my friends are being visited by age, hair loss, weight gain, aching joints etc. I'm no clairvoyant, but I would be led to believe a few will be getting married within the next 2 to 3 years, and such I'm told is life.

The odd thing is that, I don't know one friend, who has a job doing what they went to school for. Nor do I have any friends who LOVE their jobs, nor do I have too many buddies that are enjoying life as much as they did three to four years ago. Its tough for a generation of guys raised on videos, girls gone wild, playstation, and text messaging, to meet new friends, to make new personal contacts, to pretty much grow up. And since most of us were raised in single parent homes, coupled in with the fact a lot of our parents are quickly falling out of sync with today's tech. Makes it tough on a young guy....

So for the next year I will chronicle my trek into adult as an Insurance seller, an older brother, a boyfriend, and all the other odd jobs and things that may come my way. Feel free to post comments or tell your friends to read. Or ask questions....Thanks
