Back to the grind!
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
Tomorrow I have to go back to work.
I get three-day weekends every now and then, but today I did something different with my 'free time'. I went job hunting!
I don't want to get up at 3:30 and drive for an hour to get to my job in the near-freezing weather. I don't want to be given a random route to haul, and I sure don't want to work for a company that doesn't respect my wishes or the DOT regulations anymore.
So with that, I dropped applications at several trucking-based services in my area. I really hope they turn out well.
Because driving to that wretched place is, uh, wretched.

Dreams of a better whatever.
I'm sitting in Corpus Christi in the "business center" of a motel using their free internet connection. There's a 30 minute limit (which I have completely and utterly ignored), and I am doing nothing but reading blogs and thinking about blogging.
Obsessed? Perhaps.
My dream job (other than owning my own company hot-shot driving, playing in a rock band, or running network security audits) is to be a full-time blogger. I see so many people on the net spilling their guts at random and making a killing doing so, while people like myself work 50-60 hours per week, breaking our backs to pay the bills, and hoping for an hour at the end of the day (after the house is cleaned and the kids are tucked in) to have a much-deserved cup of coffee and to post meager lines of text describing those things that are tucked away in our minds, such as how much our jobs suck or what we wish we were doing.
I'm not a professional anything, really. I drive trucks. I bring groceries to your convenience stores, unload them from the trucks, and wheel them into the stores. I don't feel that there is much (if anything) blog-worthy about that.
Or is there?
As I type this, I think "You know, I wonder how many trucking blogs there are out there..."
A quick Google Blog search yeilds "Results 1 - 10 of about 106,860 for truck driving."
Wow...there are a few. Perhaps I should start one as well. I keep having these big hopes and dreams about running a blog network (like b5 media, etc.) but just don't have the time to dedicate to such things.
There has to be some way to break into this market. Heck, I just want to earn enough with AdSense to pay for some real hosting for my themes blog.
Sometimes these things feel so out of reach. Why do I get so down about it?
It's only the medium of the new generation.
Ah well, all things in time. I should keep my head up, and so should any just-for-fun bloggers with big dreams. They can come true.
But what do I know, I'm just a trucker :)
