The Deadliest Weapon Against Ignorance Is Education



Usually I do not like to write a blog post for everyday, since each day of my life is not interesting enough to write about. This summer, days tend to blend together, to a point where I have a daily routine and cannot remember what the date is. Fortunately, I have been thinking about finding a new hobby. Now what shall it be...... READING!!!

Now I know what you are thinking, reading isn't new, duh! If you are thinking that, I should inform you that I hated reading as a child. It always bored me. I wish I was one of those children who could just sit down and transform into one of the characters and live in the story. I was more into video games and television. Now my addiction is social networking. It is always nice to meet someone new and to make a first impression. Back to the issue though. In college, I will have to continue to read uninteresting and lengthy novels and studies. Even in the professional world, being able to truck though novels is a skill that I will need in order to succeed. My number one priority at the moment is to get a library card again so I can start taking stuff out. While I took advantage of the privilege before, I hope to educate myself even more.

Another problem in the thought process is a career path. I am everywhere and interested in everything... Well not everything, but you should get the point. My top three fields so far are : Cultural/Social Psychology, Behavioral/Cultural Economics, and Law (It's kind of sketchy, but I think I could pass the bar if I wanted to). Then it gets fuzzy, since I want to get into television and film. (The Next Al Roker) On top of that, I want to somehow incorporate writing poetry and plays into a career. Then I wanted to become a professional billiards player... I am all screwed up. I think I need to sit down and look at all of these careers and see if I would really want to do them.

The last thing on my agenda to speak on[type on] is the thought of getting a tattoo. I want one, but I can live without one. That seems to be the theme of my life. There are a lot of things that I want, but will rather not have to spend on necessities. I think I will get one for my 19th birthday. The ideas are: My fathers tattoo (A raging bull with a broken lock on its horn to symbolize Bullock which is my last name for those who don't know), and a Matador (as you can see I am infatuated with the symbolism of a matador since it is my blog URL. It symbolizes the courage and wisdom to pull up with all of the bull shit[pun intended] in life). I am not too sure on it, but it seems like this is the one I want to get.

I will leave you with this picture and a peace out,
Dion Jose
