Do I live my life or do I spend most of it wondering what to do and wandering from thought to though waiting for that perfect fortune cookie or horoscope to spell out my next steps. Why am I so myopic? Yes, I know my genes and the fact that most of my daytime hours are spent in front a computer screen have led to very bad eyesight but my mind's eye seems equally blind. I feel as though there is a road in front of me with milestones but there's a thick fog deterring me from moving along that road. I was watching Jerry Maguire at home on Friday night (yes, pathetic) and even someone as uninspiring as Tom Cruise made me sit back and wonder why I don't have any semblance of a mission statement. I'm 33 and I've managed to check off a few things on that list that you inherit from the vast social consciousness we're all a part of. I got married, I have a job and I own a home. What next though? What do I do to stop myself from flipping channels?
