Getting the Ball Rolling

It’s a common idiom in the English language meaning to start something so that it can start making progress, but it’s a foolish thing to do if you’re not ready for what happens after that monumental first push. Although getting the ball rolling is never easy, I believe the most difficult part of the ballgame is keeping the ball rolling and coping with the kinetic energy involved.

I’ll cut to the chase. I want a new job! And if I could afford a therapist, he or she would say I NEED one as well. But there is a problem. I’m a lazy-ass mother fucker that may never think of work as anything other than a J-O-B, a chore, something that keeps me from doing absolutely nothing (which I’m so good at). Some might argue that I have way too much to offer to be so slothful, but it’s hard to find ambition when you have no clue as to what you want your professional future to hold.

Hopefully the ball-and-chain which is my current J-O-B will not continue to take as much toll on my spirit as it has in the past six months. It’s obvious that I have to figure some stuff out, and I’m not sure what the best way to do that is. But for now I’ll try and keep the ball rolling, not knowing the exact direction it’s headed in or what it’s going to take to get it to its destination.

For now I will keep living life as loudly as possible and drinking as much alcohol as needed to make it bearable.
