Which way is up?

I'm 2 1/2 years removed from the military, and I sit here wondering what I'm going to do with myself. Working in IT pays the bills and can be interesting work at times, but part of me feels like this is not the career for me. There has to be more to life than domain controllers and desktop support, doesn't there?

I never graduated from college, so I have been looking at the local community colleges to see if there is anything that interests me. There are a few things, but nothing that really moves me with any degree of certainty. I have a daughter to support which I do take very seriously and heavily into consideration, while my G.I. Bill is staring me in the face, just begging me to use it!

I served the time in the military, and contributed to the fund as well, so why shouldn't I use it? I owe it to myself to use it. So now there's just this silly matter of actually using it. So while I find many subjects to be interesting, I am discouraged because I have no idea how I can put them to any practical and relatively lucrative use in my life. There is alot of doubt, and let's face it, fear, involed in this endeavor.

I'm a musician, but is it smart to pursue a music degree? I'm in IT, but do I really want to continue to do this? I love history, but what the hell can I do with a history degree? I love to cook, I like to stay politically aware and I like to read. Although I do not practice religion, I find the history of the subject to be fascinating as well. All I want is to find something that I find interesting and stable, for the sake of my family.....then again, who doesn't?

As the fall seems to be rapidly approaching, I will toil in my own indecision as I ask myself the million dollar question: Which way is up?

Welcome to The Chonicles of the Sniffing Bulls

Hello friends, and thank you for reading my first attempt into personal blogdom! Here I intend on sharing my thoughts on whatever topics come to my mind. This was going to be a blog about local sports topics, but I didn't want to limit myself to one topic, so expect anything from me on any given day.

Thanks again for stopping by....
