1. I'm unemployed* (See next post)
2. I'm very bored and sick of applying for stupid jobs that are not out there. I've come to the realization that it's almost impossible to find a job without some sort of connection. I've had somewhere between 8-10 jobs/internships throughout the past 8 years and the only reason I've gotten them is because of a connection or referral that I've gotten from a friend or friend of family member. Maybe it's because I'm frustrated at where my professional career is right now but then sometimes I think to myself, 'Wait a second, I'm only 23 years old, I just graduated from one of the top universities in the country that many people would kill to go to, and I have the rest of my life to work.' On the flip side, I feel like every day another opportunity goes by where someone else is working harder and doing the things necessary to put themselves in a better position to succeed in the real world, while I lay on my ass in my 11' x 8' room in my 350 sq. foot apartment and watch highlights that I've already seen three times on SportsCenter.
3. I've never been much of an opinionated/outspoken person. I think my biggest pet peeve are people who consistently complain about anything and everything. When people complain, it says to me that they think they are better than everyone else so their opinion about why they are getting screwed matters more than others. My philosophy on that issue is either suck it up or do something about it. If you don't like that you have no money, get a job! (I know it's ironic that in point #2 I complained that I don't have a job but it's not like I haven't been trying to put my name out there and interviewing. Not trying to make excuses but I feel the past 6 months have been a little different scene due to the economy.) A lot of things in your life are not going to go as planned, but as I've learned through out my 23 years here on earth, deal with it or do something to change it, but don't complain about it.
4. I love sports. In particular, hockey. If I could watch and play hockey all day and get paid for it somehow I think I would be the happiest person on earth. A lot of future posts on this blog will be regard sports, particularly my hometown teams, the Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills and Michigan Wolverines. I want everyone to know that I love my hometown of Buffalo. Nothing is quite like the city of Buffalo. The people are the best part about the city, followed by the weather and the pride of being from that area. Everyone who is from there understands what being from Buffalo is all about and those on the outside who look negatively can go F themselves because they have no idea. I'm not saying that Buffalo is the greatest city ever, in fact it's far from it, but I have another philosophy that unless you've experienced it first hand, I will not respect your opinions.
5. I am not an english major. In fact I majored in Sport Management. Far from English. I could've minored in History after taking a lot of credits during my 4 years in Ann Arbor but for some reason felt that I didn't need to fulfill the necessary credits to complete the minor. Oh well. With that being said, do not expect this blog to breathtakingly flow from sentence to sentence or paragraph to paragraph. I'm basically doing this so I can feel better about the time I spend on my computer and to get my thoughts and opinions down on the internet. If people want to read it, awesome. I'm glad I can be a form of entertainment for the masses out there. If not, then at least I can feel better about myself. Either way, I hope to be able to regularly post on the blog so stay tuned....
