Anyone ever feel like the office life isn't for them? Just got started in another internship and I don't feel like I'm about this life. Quit my last internship on my first day. And I already feel like hanging it up after this first day. This internship doesn't pay as much, but has a good ceiling, and an excellent opportunity for me. The thing is that I don't feel like myself, and am not happy in these kinds of environment. I was made to be outside and utilize both my mind and body. I really don't know what I want to do folks. I've applied to police/firefighter jobs, but in NyC the process takes a real long time.
I've strongly been considering the Air Force/Navy, and have even spoken to recruiters. The only thing holding me back is my family and friends. I'm gonna miss them. Truth be told, I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life once December rolls around and on handed that degree.

My handwriting looks like footwriting, which is why I'm lucky I was born in the time I was...would have had to pick a different profession.
That serves as an awkward segue to today's typed tirade, a PSA about the tragedy of forgetting to actually be where you are sometimes. Just because you can be connected 24/7 doesn't mean you should.
Enjoy, and don't forget to live offline occasionally.

People who have been reading this stuff for the while know I'm the first to praise the glorious advances of the future in which we live, specifically smartphones. In case you're one of the rumored 5 or so people without one, just know that they do everything. They take pictures, they play games, some people might be using one to read this sentence...well, what am I telling you for, I'm sure your friends have already shown you the vast and various powers of every adult's favorite toy. (Um...you know what I mean.)
That said, I can't help but to have some concern about the extent of their use and what effects it might have on the way we interact. It seems like no one can just be where they are any more. I'm admittedly quite attached to my own phone, but I've always been able to wrestle it into my pocket when it was time to do something else. That seems to be an increasingly rare ability.
It seems like everyone is somewhere else, no matter where they are. I can see burying yourself in technology while you're somewhere uninspiring, like riding the train, at the DMV or at work, but more and more I'm seeing people choose the activities in hand over the activities at hand, and I think that's regrettable. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people silently sitting together at the bar or a restaurant, enjoying the company of their friendslist while in the company of their friends. I'd be upset if one of my friends came to hang out and spent the whole time talking to other people, but I'm sure it happens all the time.
Hell, even that chick I'm always talking about around here is ripe for inclusion, often choosing to turn on a TV show she's been waiting to see for weeks and immediately ignore it while playing with her shiny new Galaxy 4, which makes perfect woman sense.
Moving on, it's not even just that we always have the things around, it's what we do with them. The manufacturers themselves admit that the number one purpose of a phone is not to make voice calls, but to network socially. (That's why all the new commercials talk about the phone's social media abilities and never the call quality, reception or battery life.) All the time. Far be it from me to criticize people for sharing a bit of who they are--hell, that's part of how I keep the lights on around here--but at a certain point it gets ridiculous.
Social media is a fun side activity, but when it becomes the main event in your life (as it has in so many) something is askew.
It's like if you don't share what you're doing, you didn't really do it. I just don't get that mentality. Special events, parties, just another day...all deserve a play-by-play worthy of ESPN. Apparently, sharing these things as they happen is like having the events notarized, confirming that they happened for people who won't believe you when you say you actually held a red plastic cup on Saturday. It's not enough to go out and have a cocktail, there must be a picture of it. You can't just enjoy your vacation for a while, you have to take time out of it to upload, digitally retouch and respond to comments on a slew of pictures before they expire when you get back home. What are you thinking keeping anything to yourself, the people have a right to know. What are you, some Commie?
Seriously, it's not that nobody should share anything. It's that nobody needs to share everything. I know some people I've never met better than folk I've known for years, and it's because I know everything they've done since the day our e-paths crossed.
Sure, I put chunks of the AJ Experience out there, but there are plenty of times where the internet has no idea what I'm doing. I like it that way. Sometimes I just like to take some time away from it all. I drop off the radar for days at a time. I still exist, trust me. I might even be doing something fun like having an outside drink, visiting a friend, ragdolling my toddler or even just boyfriending around. I don't always have the posts or pictures to prove it, but I am doing things when I'm not online...sometimes.
It's not that I mind sharing my journey to...whatever the hell it is I'm destined for...I just don't feel the to document every step of my way.
You don't have to know what I'm eating for every meal. You don't have to see my kid every day (that's my problem). You don't have to know any more about my love life than I already share. Hell, you probably don't care...and I realize that. (That's why I work so hard to ensure that the inanities of my everyday life are as entertaining as possible when I present them, I know otherwise nobody would give a ****.) The proverbial cutting room floor exists for a very good reason.
Even as a person pretty much tasked with being himself for a living, I understand that anybody can get oversaturated. Be as engaging and talented as you want, but sharing your life with everybody all the time is pretty much living with them, and it's hard enough living with a person you like, let alone living with any and everybody. Eventually, you're going to find something to hate. Everybody loves Shaq, but put him in enough commercials and I'll start to get pretty pissed that he doesn't really drive a Buick.
I'm getting a bit off topic tho. My point is that in this age of instant gratification and living for today, people spend too much time putting life on hold while they finish with their phone.
You only live once, true, I just wonder how many people forget to actually do it while they're telling others they are. Fact is, we don't always need approval and recognition for the things we do. We don't even always need to document it as it's happening. Every so often, it's healthy to just be where you are and let an experience be its' own unaccompanied reward: to live for the moment.

You ever go to give a girl a compliment and she tells you what you're about to compliment her on is fake. AWKWARD.
Chick had pretty eyes. I asked her what color were they. She hit me with they're hazel contacts. I was like alright and started to laugh while walking away.
2nd times its happened to me. I guess I should start prefacing compliments with "Is that real?"
