It is freakin hot today in my apartment, but a small price to pay for such fantastic Vancity weather. As most of you know I have been working hard on my blog the Bento Box Review. It is actually doing really well. I am getting a solid amount of traffic considering it hasn’t even been six weeks and I really am no expert when it comes to building a community around a website.

I have been thinking a ton lately about what I am going to do in the coming months career wise and how I am going to make the next big step. I mean I am a realist, do I think I can go somewhere with 500DTF? Sure its possible, but unlikely. The internet is just so big these days that you can’t assume you will always get what you want out of something like this.

With that being said, I still have a lot of travelling to do and things to see so I really don’t want to commit to anything huge at this time. I think I mentioned it before that I am booked to go to Austrailia and Japan in November which is quite a big trip. I plan to go to Europe in 2008 with some friends and probably hit south Asia as soon as I can. When you want to do those types of things you need time, freedom from commitments, and money.

So this brings up a ton of questions for me. How do I accomplish all of this in such a short time? Will I be passing up bigger job oppurtunities if I wait? I don’t think I am too concerned about these things. There will always be time to develop a career. Right now it is time to develop self awareness. I guess just be more clear about what I want for the rest of my years, and how can I leave my mark on the world.

I am pretty sure you will see changes in my though process as day 500 rolls around, but for now these are really my only thoughts. There is still a decent amount of traffic coming here daily, so I thank you for your support and curiosity of my successes and failures. If no one was reading, I wouldn’t write.

Thanks,

Rick
