I was thinking today (as I have been on occasion for a while now) about what it is I would really like to do with my life (at least, currently).

I have many abilities, and interests… and I do enjoy what I do these days with my time, and for income purposes. (And some not for income) 🙂 I love the creative part of what I do with the web and graphic design. I love working with computers and programming languages (HTML). And, as far as the music goes, I do enoy singing and playing, especially with my wife by my side. And the kids are growing up quite musical as well. 🙂 I even love the Buffalo Bills show we do weekly. It’s great!

I have always wanted to own and operate a restaurant. A nice family establishment, with a regular clientele. I would get to be with people, and cook. Two things I love to do.

I would love to somehow have a business where I could hook people up with some great stuff from Apple computer. I have a website, but that’s just a portal for Amazon. Not the same. So far, I am not very motivated to pursue that one, but I know I would enjoy it.

But mostly, I have always wanted to write. And specifically about stuff that matters. I pursued sports journalism for a time in my freshman/sophomore years of college… but, that was not the subject matter that captured my heart. I love sports, but… not enough to spend my life writing about them.

So, this blog has happened. And my book. But so far, those have not been even close to something that could support me. So, I continue to write, almost as though I can’t not write.

But it might be even more than writing. See, this morning, as I was contemplating the various facets of my life in the shower (as I am wont to do) I realized that I also love just conversing with people on the deeper things of life. Listening to, and adding thoughts as necessary to conversations with friends, or even people I don’t know that well yet.

That’s when I thought that perhaps what I really am, or want to be, is a philosopher. I love to think deeply on life (again, I almost can’t not do it) and I love to converse about that whether in person or in print with others who are interested.

So, perhaps I should be (or already am?) a philosopher.

Anyone know how much that pays? 🙂
