Good stuff Kenn! I did not know you could take the bar exam w/out going to law school. Hope you pass, but regardless of whether you did or not I still give you props. Keep it up!

Re: Los Angeles, My Home

This really struck a chord with me, too! I'm very emotionally attached to my home city of Cleveland, but there are times when I've felt I have no choice but to move--and in fact, I must move, on May 18th, to Chengdu, China. And I hope this won't prove offensive to you, but, the city I think I dislike more than any other and feel most out of place is Los Angeles, mainly because of the types of people I've met there. Ironically, however, it's the one I've had to travel to the most over the years--either because of a best friend who moved there, a former love, or work-related travel.

To be fair, my friends tell me I've just been patronizing the wrong parts of LA, that there's so much more to it than the vapid, plastic blondes who don't have the good breeding to have been trained in the art of polite small talk (let alone deep conversation), or the blinged-up agents who talk too much in general! There are times when I've found a reason to love LA, but I always fiercely resist those reasons. Ha. Some day I might write a column about it.

Then again, I'm a Midwestern girl with an East Coast work ethic and a crush on Colorado. I probably wouldn't fit perfectly anywhere :)

"Turkey day!" ... Just kidding. I agree with everything that you said.

Corporations and their marketing schemes have taken advantage of holidays and thrive on our consumer-mentality. It is somewhat how-the-grinch-stole-christmas-esque. You would think a recession would eradicate some of that. But, I suppose not.

i am a middle-aged female with the same problem. I sometimes can't make up my mind which way i am gonna go. It is very confusing to the other family members as I do things, I will switch up my routine in the middle of things and do another. My husband is VERY confused of me. What i thought I wanted to do is really NOT (to my other side) the way i wanted to go. But I do things because "society says" it's the right thing to do. I never asked my parents if I was "dropped on my head". My Mother is right-handed, my Dad is left. I can recall breaking my left arm when I was a little girl, and after that i went more left-handed when I got my cast off. It is strange how humans are, we will never understand how things are really "supposed to be".

LOL Dont worry I have the same problem you have. I am fully ambidextrous and I am two different people. I can be organized and I can be much disorganized. I have learned that both my brains are at war with each other. Some days, I look at my workspace and I realize that it is disorganized. Once I have this realization, my left brain says to clean it up, and I do. The next day, I look at my workspace, and guess what; it’s dirty again. I don't know how it gets disorganized, but it does; that’s my right brain's doing. Sometimes I say things different from what I mean to say. I have opposing personalities: I am disorganized, I am organized, I am patient, I am impatient. I have a very strange mind! But because of my ambidexterity, I can play different musical instruments.

Thank you, but I can't take much credit as it's mostly written by Gizmodo.

Asia is actually doing excellent right now. For years we have been turning over parts of our businesses and lives to them through outsourcing etc. If you want to be economically safe move to japan.

Wow Kenn, I never would've thought. They won't let you take classes part time or anything? That sucks. Well, blessings on your journey, I hope things start going your way soon.

Re: Broken

I noticed you have Bible verses in your other posts. May I quote one to you?

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9)

I never "liked" that verse very much--I was too independent, wanted to fix my problems myself. Nobody likes thinking of themselves as "weak."

But when life broke me to the point that I no longer had anything but weakness inside of me, I suddenly discovered that I could not only "like" that verse--I could fall into it with relief and thankfulness, the way I would fall into God's arms.

Those same arms are with you. The Lord can fix the broken places. :-)

I believe that if you get going on ANY heart-filled track... music, production, anything... AND you keep that faith that you need and know that the Lord will be taking care of you no matter what... He will either keep you where you are or open doors in other places that sound perfect for you. Sometimes we have no idea what we are supposed to be doing. So, I know that God never wanted us to sit and ponder until he gives us a sure sign. Move. Fi you are not happy where you are now and you know that you can find a great feeling from another field or place in the field... God'll not only take care of you there, or ANYWHERE you are, but he will make your paths straight if you keep him first. Just GO and if he has to, he'll redirect you. Being only 20 is great... it wont hurt to be redirected a couple more times :) Dont be afraid to move to what makes you more happy and what settles that unsettling feeling.
