I look at strange things for too long.
I suppose it's my life and I can fill it as I wish.
I think of all the places in other countries I would run while I work out at the gym. All the various coastal hideaways in South America, the Mediterranean and South Pacific. I want to see part of the world early in the morning or just at dusk with an elevated heart rate all alone. I always seem to have my a-ha moments then and I'd love to have them in beautiful surroundings with smells I've never, and sights I can only dream of.
I knew better than that mess with this guy because he kept running away and hiding under branches and I just had to poke him so he'd move and I could take a picture. Then I got out the flash so I could pick up some of his beautiful colors and got in real close. He stopped...
Spun around and JUMPED right at my lens.
I had a delayed reaction and didn't actually throw my camera for a whole 3 seconds. I even knew he had jumped off at that point, but felt I should do something other than stand there. It's been too long since I've been afraid of spiders I guess.
I did look him up when I got home, he's the "Daring Jumping Spider" (laugh) Of course he has a latin name but I can't say it. I even read all about taurantulas and how to care for them and thought, WTF am I thinking?

Sorry if my blog comments freaked you out in wondering if school loans are worth it. I think my problem was that I went to college right out of high school because with my family that was the only option I had. I changed majors six times in four years! I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and am still trying to figure it out. I just think it would have been a better use of time and money if I went to school once I had a clearer idea of what my dreams and goals are. Although my education has come in quite handy... I got a degree in marketing and my school had a great business program so my degree has been versatile enough to help me land some good jobs.
You said you were doing sales? I've been contemplating that as a career move but it's kind of a profession that scares me. What were your thoughts on that career?
