Creative Outlet

Well, I’m 22 now turning 23 in September. I just barely looked back at my first and only post here on WordPress and I must say that my writing skills have not improved at all. Looking back, it seemed like I was bragging when I was describing myself as atheist, vegetarian, and other irrelevant details. No one cares. You didn’t come to find out about boring details of my life,… or did you?

Anyways, I’m working at a job where I cannot express my creativity. That sounds pretentious but I wanted to do something that will keep me entertained, and if an audience gathers around my terrible writing, so be it. So I figured I could use this little free website to try and expose Salt Lake City a little bit more and maybe some photography. I don’t know what I’m doing, but please indulge. If not, I don’t care. This is really for me trying to find excitement and keep me sane until I find a job I love, or something cheesy like that. Plus, there’s porn on the internet, why would you look at blogs?

 

Where I am now:

I am going to Weber State University (Whoo!) and am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Political Science. If you are anything like my dad or mom then you must be disappointed in my career choice. I don’t blame you. I am also disappointed in my life decisions.

Just last week, I finished my first internship. I was an intern for the legislative session which lasts 45 days here in Utah. That doesn’t sound like much, but for someone that has had little to no experience in an office setting, wears a suit everyday, and even being bullied by micromanagers, then yes, it was long. “But did you have fun, Benihana93?” Yes, it was fun and I don’t regret doing it. It was extremely rewarding and it was a complete change of pace to what I’m used to. That is, working in the electronics department in a Supermarket store. I don’t know if this blog will ever be discovered by people I know. If that happens, then I’m not sure if posting personal details about myself is the best thing to do. Seriously, if you haven’t noticed by now, I have no idea what I am doing with this blog thingy. If anyone can offer advice (free) I would damn well appreciate it. I really have no idea what the hell I am doing. Anyways, about this supermarket store, It’s fine. It pays the bills, pays my car, phone, food, etc.. Hell, I could stay there long enough and just milk the pay raises and retire there. No degree required either! Although, that doesn’t make me happy. Y24yRVj

By all means, don’t think I am loaded with money, because I am not. I have plenty of free time and this company works well with my school schedule, but it isn’t making me happy. Technically, I have everything that any other student would want right now. Oh, except friends, I don’t have many friends right now, but that’s beside the point ha! So maybe a little writing will do me good and I can say what’s on my mind. This will keep me busy! … until my existentialism crisis sets in…

Where I am headed now (Hopefully)

“Life is too short to be an Asshole” – Louis CK

Anyways, I hope to have a solid job that I love doing. Simple but effective. I can’t go around putting limits on opportunities. What kind of sick person does that?

“Hey, Benihana93. You get to direct a movie and be in charge of movie stuff. Oh, but this amazing opportunity does come with one requirement.”

-“Yes?”

“You might not get paid until the movie is over.”

-“Oh, yeah I’m not interested.”

The point of this shitty joke is that I may need to compromise on a few things to get where I want to be. I really had no idea on what witty thing to say as the punchline. By the way, I am an aspiring comic. Joking!

I don’t know what I’ll be doing in the future, but at least I have already decided on the person I want to become. Right now, I have a good sense of humor. Problem is that I tease others a little too harshly at times. Yes, I know what you are thinking. “But that’s the best type of humor, Benihana93!” And I know that. However, I have lost friends because of this and am perceived as an asshole sometimes. I used to have such a pride in being the way I am. I didn’t care if others perceived me as mean or an asshole if that meant I got a few laughs out of my banter. But that’s such a terrible way to live. My goodness! I don’t know if it is my age or becoming more concerned for the close friends I have. I need to tone down my humor if that makes others feel better around me. And that’s ok. I can still be funny and have people enjoy my company as well.

Well, I guess that’s my second post. I don’t know how to end these things. It’s like saying bye to people you still need in your life. Maybe ending in a cheesy quote or something like that.

“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”
