'Ey Yo Adrian

As per my Kenny, I was recently exposed to the famous Rocky flicks.. Well, just the first one really. And I have to admit- I actually liked this classic film. It took me a while to relate to the slurring buffoon, but by mid-film, his uncouth grammar and barbaric demeanor actually won my heart. I think everyone has something in their life that they can relate to this scenario. A distant dream. A failed attempt. An unsettling disappointment that we didn't become what we had envisioned for ourselves. I loved watching The Italian Stallion overcome the monumental feat before him and it really inspired me. I beat myself up over the fact that I'm not in the dream job I had anticipated. My mom always says all of these small jobs are lining up for something I'm meant to do, but I'm just not seeing it. It's so F*ing hard to figure out what you want to do with yourself. I know I'm not alone in my dilemma (the thousands of members on quarterlifecrisis.com can vague for that), but it doesn't make me feel any better. I'm seeking opportunity everywhere I go and keeping an open mind as to where I "belong." Maybe one day I'll get my opportunity to go the distance in a personal Ultimate Championship and land that perfect job.
.... Rocky II is on its way (thanks Netflix) and Ill let you know if it meets my expectations.
