After being at the top of my game so many years ago, i thought nothing would stop me. I saw myself in a certain place by year X. Doing certain things by year Y, and having the world at year Z. This was professional me. Personal me was still searching.
Personal me had finally found the right girl, in 2003 I put a ring on her. But we were still searching. Now in 2009 the economic downturn was in full swing, in the middle of a pregnancy even. I was let go from my then FT everything is fine job to become a stay at home dad. In May of that year the best job I would ever have making no pay happened. I became a dad to twins, one boy and one girl.

Now on the verge of turning 7, i can safely say personal me is as happy as i can ever hope to be. Time to turn my attention to professional me, i have been ignoring him for far to long. At this time I am trying to find what it is that excites me, what it is that I can love again in the professional world like I used to love IT so long ago. I have tried everything from Programming to Comic book art, to YouTubing

But still pro me hasn't found it... I am looking for something with purpose. Something that can make pro me feel like personal me. I don't know exactly where to focus my energies. Don't get me wrong personal me has in now way damaged professional me, in certain ways I feel what i have learned these past few years as a dad would make me a better professional unfortunately the rest of the world until know doesnt share this view.

New year and time for new things I guess let's see where life takes my family and I now, i do vow to myself and them that at this time next year I promise to have a completely different and positive outlook.

Till next post
