After reading Iris's take on Eat, Pray, Love, I can't wait to see this film. I also agree that Iris and I should visit Italia, Bali, and India. To that list I would also like to add Ireland, Spain, Poland, and Austria. Ireland, because that is the family from which most my family hails, Spain because after spending three weeks there after fifth grade I was addicted, Poland because Iris and I both have family from there, and Austria just because it's awesome.
Iris isn't the only one who's been watching inspirational films. After an inspiring round of Boondock Saints 1&2, Top Gun, Fast & Furious, and Gone in 60 Seconds I have decided to A.) go back to my Irish roots, B.) improve my shooting skills, and C.) look into learning mechanics because, let's face it, college degrees are a dime a dozen while well trained car mechanics/AC repairmen/plumbers/etc. are becoming rare, and the people that are going into these professions are making bank. Weird jump perhaps, but it makes sense to me. ;)
I find it amusing that in this day in age when parents are urging their children to go to college, and everyone and their mother has a masters degree, the people without the degrees are the one making the most money straight out of schooling. I've seen people with degrees from good, well known, private universities work retail for over a year post-graduation. Meanwhile kids are going through the local community college and learning how to fix heating and cooling systems, or working as a certified mechanic at a dealership and pulling in about 60K a year.
Not only do they make more, but, let's face it, guys dig chicks as grease monkeys. As a greaser we can get tattoos, piercings, curse, etc. We don't have to spend a couple hundred dollars per suit and we get to hang out with gruff, manly men all day long. I don't know about the rest of ya, but that sounds like heaven to me.
However, my dreams of becoming like Megan Fox in the second Transformer movie must be put aside for the moment while I go and work on my Psych homework.
Ciao our loyal readers. Until we write again.
