I have a lot of freedom, freedom to do what I want when I want. Lately, I've really been thinking about how I can translate my interests and abilities into something more than being a reader/watcher/listener. I mean, I do teach, which is an honorable and productive job; and I try to be a good friend, brother, etc. But I'm thinking maybe I should make it my business to be more creative, to write or pursue some kind of other creativity. I've also been thinking about pursuing a doctoral degree. The expense and years don't appeal to me; but what good are all the books I read, etc etc, if I can't transfer that knowledge into something more?

I don't know. If I had a family, maybe I'd feel differently. But I'm a guy with time on his hands, and a fairly big brain. So I'm pondering.... I think being creative and/or branching out may be my new "job"; giving some serious effort to figuring this shit out.

And I don't wanna be a Unabomber or a monk! (That'd be a great Ramones song.)
