People,

Today I realized a weird thing about my life; I should always make professional choices based on what makes me pretty happy and interested instead of really happy and interested. Let me explain.

I have been trying recently to figure out what I want to do with my life. Music, of course, but I also need to figure out what to do to pay the bills, because MIT just ain't cutting it. Anyway, I've been thinking about things I like and naturally decided I should do something in one of those areas. But now I think I'm wrong.

Last night I tore down my bike engine and made major changes to the carburetors. It was a big job and took forever, but I really enjoyed it. The only problem with that was that when I really enjoy something I get so insanely focused on it that I ignore everyone around me. While I tinkered, Ladybetrothed Sarah did god knows what (I have no idea since I fully ignored her). This kind of neglect is generally bad for relationships.

And since when I have a family I want them to be my main priority, I think I need to make sure I don't ever have a job that I want to do 24 hours a day. I need a job that I want to do, say, 10 hours a day and I'll spend the rest of the time changing diapers and riding seesaws.
