The Blackberry

“Do what you love.”

“Love what you do.”

That’s the latest selling phrases for the Blackberry. Apparently, you can do whatever you love with the Blackberry such as write amazing rock songs or learn urban dance moves…wait, those commercials didn’t make any sense. Computer phones can’t do that…

Wouldn’t you love to do what you love? In life, we try to figure out what we love and if we are lucky enough to find out what that is, we try to pursue it. Pursuing the dream. In college we try to get a degree in whatever field will be closest to that thing we love, and once we have the degree we find out that thing we loved isn’t all it was cracked up to be. Especially when it was a corner office, because sorry bud but you have to work your way up from the mailroom. Not every one knows Michael J Fox’s secret to success.

So now you’re stuck in this job that you don’t love. You either have to suck it or leave your job to move in with your parents, mooching off of their love for you until the day they die of a heart attack while they’re screaming at you to learn to deal with life and get out.

What if what you really wanted was just to get married and have babies and live happily ever after? What if for most of your childhood you believed that you would most likely be married by the time you were 20 and now you’re 22 and haven’t even been on a date? What if the field you’ve been studying in for the past 3 years isn’t what you want to do anymore because you’re passion was being over shined by the vision of something grand and now it’s been uncovered only to be realized as something you could never live off of?

I’m glad I haven’t realized what I love yet. That would be confusing.
