What happened?

Men used to fix cars, be able to fix and build things around the house. What the heck happened? Unmotivated? Lazy? Lack of knowledge and willingness to learn?

The worst is saying...yes I can fix it. Then sitting around "pondering" what they are going to do for weeks and forgetting about it. So now the car makes a horrible sound, the plumbing is messed up, everything is a mess, and worst of all the woman of the house is upset. If any project is started it's not finished, therefore there is a bigger mess.

First Post

I was told about a certain group of teachers learning how to blog. I thought it was interesting and realized I didn't really know exactly what a blog was, why you'd use it, or what I would type about. Since I made my account in June I've had it in the back of my mind. Of course people have their own interests and usually have specific blogs. I tend to be a little scatter brained and through the last 4.5 years of school I haven't been able to enjoy the little things that I love. My creativity has been lacking due to being right brained for soo long.

Since I graduated in December, I've been trying to find a job but that is really tough in this economy. The jobs I have applied for I am overqualified for. I never thought I'd ever be overqualified for something. In the mean time, I continue to do some substitute teaching. The kids have kept my spirits up and let me know they want me there. SUCH SWEETHEARTS!

I attempted to get my creative side back just sitting down with art supplies and put things together. That doesn't feel right anymore. I guess it's not for me. During the summer I started to make beer. There has been a drought since I can't control the temperature in the house, so I've only made two batches. This is my new hobby. Unfortunately, I can't do it year around and do small batches because I'm the only beer drinker in the house. It's a very special treat filled with love, patience, and time. I'm ready for May so I can make an Irish Red!

I'm thinking now that this blog might just be about life after college. We'll see how this goes.
