Congratulations! But now what?

Well... I did it, I graduated college. Nothing too fancy, just a 2.8. Got myself a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice with a focus in Homeland Security. You would think that in a world where we're busy fighting terrorism every day, you'd think that I'd be able to get that job... Apparently that 2.8 isn't very impressive. I'm fluent in a foreign language, and that's still not good enough. Up until now, in my life, I've always been good enough. And now, well, now I'm not. I've lived my whole life in a world where I could get by by just doing enough. I got a lot done that way, avoided quite a bit of problems. And I got things done my way. And getting things done my way has worked for 24 years. And now my way doesn't work anymore. I wasn't prepared for that. I knew that it would take awhile for me to find a job... but you know, I graduated almost 4 months ago and up until two weeks ago, I was still working at a minimum wage job. Now, instead of working at that minimum wage job, I'm unemployed and living with my brothers in Georgia on an air mattress. This is how life is supposed to work out, right? Yeah... exactly right. It's meant to be hard... right? If it wasn't hard, it would be easy. Well, for the last 24 years, life has been easy. And now it's not. So congratulations on graduating college, but now what? Move on with life, get a job, become a part of the world where problems matter. As a student, my parents took care of me, they helped me with all of my needs. They helped pay rent, and now, I don't even have an apartment to call my own. I'm living out of two suitcases and in a few short days will be taking off to a new location, sad thing is, I don't even know where that will be. Is this the life of a college graduate? I thought it was graduate and join the real world, and get that 8-5 job where you get stuck in rush hour and complain about the drive. But instead, all I'm doing is bumming off my brother and now I can't even stand to do that anymore. Where are the jobs I was promised, where are the interviews that I was always able to get before? Why has life brought me to this... up at 4:15 in the morning for the 14th day in a row... Life... It really sucks. Spent my life just doing enough to get by, and now, I don't even know what enough is. I can't figure out what this life wants of me. And it bothers the crap out of me.

Welcome to my blog

Well, this will be my blog. It will contain my views, attitudes, complaints, emotions and anything else that just happens to be on my mind. I call it My Depth Perception because this is what I see it is. This will be life the way I see it, through my eyes. Sometimes you may agree, sometimes you may not. More than likely you won't always agree. And that's ok. I don't always expect you to read this either... In fact I'll be surprised if that many people read it anyway. So, I think I'm gonna wrap it up and leave it here. I figure if you're reading this, you already know me and a lot about me, otherwise we wouldn't be friends. Enjoy!
