So, about six months ago I left a job that I should have left much earlier and basically started my life over again. The problem is I am well into my fourth decade on this planet. (That's not to infer that I have spent time on a different planet before although some would argue I have.)
I've started back to school to eventually complete a doctoral degree but that is only one of the goals I have resurface since my mind has been freed up in the last six months.
I've discovered a new field of interaction design which is like a cross between computer science, human computer interaction, graphic design, cognitive science, and marketing. I want to train to compete in a triathlon and in bodybuilding again. I want to take music back up. I am a huge fan of Joe Satriani and want to build my own home studio so I can score orchestral pieces and create purely digital performances of them. I've also realized that there is more to software development than Microsoft and that the Googlers are really on to something as well as Apple and Adobe. I also want to find a business in all of this somewhere.
I am discovering my faith more and more every day too. I'm not perfect but I feel like I'm doing better overall than I was six months ago. I also feel like now is the time to look for someone else to share the rest of my life with. This is perhaps the most startling change I have realized. I really like it though.
I guess my question is ... am I crazy? Am I trying to be an overgrown kid? Should I try to be more "practical" and "realistic" and "responsible"? What I am pursuing is kind of far out there.
