Someone Triggered an Epiphany

Life..Life is interesting. You never know what it has in store for you. Each day is different and a learning experience. Not one day should go by without you learning from it. You see, yesterday I went out to dinner with my ex-girlfriend and her family because her uncle was in town. Now it was the first time I had ever met "Uncle Mark" and when I first walked into the restaurant he did what most uncles do. Of course, thats getting to know the young man that dated his niece. He began by asking a series of questions. What are my goals...what am I going to school for..and what is my next step after graduation. I told him what they were and he responded by saying "Why are you waiting on an interview, become your own boss." It was quite intriquing.

After sharing the fact that I want to become a entertainment journalists and that I like food, fashion and music "Uncle Mark" started talking about the internet. Interestingly enough, he asked me, if I had ever blogged before and I said for class. He then told me that I should start and who knows where it would take me. So, I started thinking seriously about this thing, that maybe I can do this. It would be interesting to see where it leads me.

So...This afternoon as a church family we decided to have dinner at O'Charleys in Belleville. The service was just horrible when it came to getting the food right. It seemed as if the cook was inexperienced. My ex and I both had ordered steaks medium well and everyone one knows that medium well means "slightly pink" not bloody. However, in total we had to send our steaks back at least 5 times and when it was all said and done my ex didn't even eat. The managers came out and didn't want to compensate for anything. Their attitudes were just out right disrespectful and rude. Then I began to think about "Uncle Mark" and what we talked about last night.


So, when I came home and did my readings, here once again was some advice. It's talking about having a voice and how to develop it. Not only that, but not to give up if you don't succeed right away. So, you know what, I think I'm going to listen to "Uncle Mark" the wise guy. Did I mention he owns his own business....See you never know what life has in store for you and whom your going to meet.
