Live to learn

     I am enjoying my experiences during my college life, hoever, There is one thing I don't like, and that is how a person needs to specialize in one thing. I myself am so curious in a wide range of subjects. Too many in fact to name. I tell you if I could just sped the rest of my life learning everything that interested me I would consider that a life well spent, and fulfilled.
      Everytime I see something interesting enough to want to know more I try to immerse myself in the subject right next to a trained individual. For instance I have always wanted to know how to do auto body work, and asked a friend who does it for a living if he would want to train me. Sadly he refused, all because his brother had worked for him, and then later left, so he said he wouldn't waste his time ever again. I told him I wouldn't waste his time, but he still refused. Sure I watch YouTube videos on different things, but most videos are real short, and don't give much instruction.
      I am thinking of starting a page on Facebook to try and introduce people who know things with people who want to know things. Of course it would all be free. My hopes in doing this would not only be to meet interesting new people, but to curb my insatiable hunger for knowledge. I really do not want to waste the back half of my life; the front was a big enough waste to last 5 life times.
      Who knows if I will get to learn the things I want to, but it should be an interesting ride. Wish me luck.

  1. Good luck, Buddy. I know you well enough by now to know that whatever you put your mind to, you'll do! p.s. Thanks for the Christmas card!

  2. OK, so here we have the same problem. That's why I'm going to graduate with a "Liberal Studies" degree. Did you know Georgetown University now offers a PhD in Liberal Arts?! Do you know much I think about that? I want to know a lot about Everything, not spend my life focused on one thing. Yep, Marxism in pop culture is interesting, but it's not the only thing I want to know about. I'll let you know if I figure out how to spend my life learning and still make a living...
