Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is one of the most addicting games on the planet. I spent some time last night with my friend Ron re-beating Tony Hawk 3 so we could unlock skate videos of Rodney Mullen and Andrew Reynolds. It's soooooo fun! What a great game...

I realized that, beyond the video game, skateboarding would be a fantastic career. Well, not for me (anymore at least). It's really cool thinking that, when these professionals were young, that's what they wanted to do, so they did it. I know it comes naturally to a lot of people, and for others it takes a lot of work. The point is, it's the most fun for these people, and they make a living off of it.

I'm going to school for software development. It's becoming something that I quite enjoy. I feel fortunate that I'm able to do the things that I want to do. There's a few people that I know that don't have it that way. It's never too late to do exactly what you always wanted to do. There are people at my school with children, young adults, old adults... they all have goals that they are going to achieve. It's a good feeling knowing that if you want something, all you have to do is go and get it.

Go get it.

Go get what you want? I'm driving to Utah RIGHT NOW! :P

Hey Mark! Welcome to the blogworld.

You're right - I only know of a handful of people who are doing exactly what the WANT to be doing, instead of what they should be doing. As for myself, I think I probably fall into the latter category. But what you're saying screams true, if we really want it, we should just go after it.

I've been thinking a lot about that lately, and I'm really going to do something about it this time. Great post.
