I've done some reevaluating lately as far as my career is concerned and I've decided to take action. I've always felt that I was destined to do something that would make a positive difference while I'm on this planet and now I'm trying to make that happen. Often I'm overwhelmed by this feeling and now it's time to listen. Opportunity + Action = Luck. As far as my current job of repairing power tools goes, it's a great job. I get to work with nice people, listen to music all day and beat my hands up. My mind, body and spirit have been caged up for too long. I need to set myself free.
After careful consideration I came up with several jobs I feel would better allow me to serve my community and in turn myself. All of these jobs require additional education, which I can't get enough of, but will most likely put a strain on finances for awhile. I've been searching and applying like a mad man for Entry Level Police Officer and Firefighter positions recently. These positions are highly competitive (especially in our current economy) and scarce. Just the kind of odds I like. I'm off to take my second ORPAT test in about an hour, which by the way is much tougher than it looks.
Thank you all for your friendship and support, I wouldn't be the crazy guy I am today without it. I'll keep you posted.

I think you would make an awesome police officer and I would love work with you in my neck of the woods.
What about being a professional blogger?
If I could make a living blogging about nothing, I could do that.
I think you'd rock as a police officer. You are very personable and have good judgment. They'd be very lucky to have you. And I really think you and Kristy should move to Salem. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Don't give up on the dream, Jer-mer. You were born to be a make love to power tools.
I'm in a similar boat. It is sinking. I like firefighter better. Just saying.
