Bored and happy about it

(to the tune of Wayne's World)
It's Rubes' World! Rubes' World!
It's party time, it's excellent
It's Rubes' World, it's Rubes' World
It's party time, it's excellent!

Yeah, I'm bored... i did a lot of stuff today, but now there's nothing to do. Most people don't like being bored. and I used to not like it either.... but now i love it! Like, seriously, I enjoy being bored. I know what you're thinking, "Why do you like being bored, Rubes? Being bored sucks!" Well if my telepathy is accurate and you just thought that, you're wrong as a motherfucker! And believe me, motherfuckers are very wrong, and just nasty and incestuous, if you wanna get literal about things. But you're not nasty and incestuous (at least i hope not), but you're still wrong. Being bored is the most fun thing you can be. Why? Because the possibilities are endless when you're bored. You can do just about anything just for the sake of passing time.... like I'm writing this to you guys just to pass the time, and I'm having a blast. I've been thinking about a few things, so since I'm bored/blogging I'll get them off my chest. And when i say my chest, I mean my mind. Remember that.

I'm thinking of what career i should follow. You see, originally my major was Journalism, but fuck that, sir.... Journalism, in my opinion, is for douche bags. You have to be nosy by nature (not naughty, lol) to be a good journalist, as well as cold blooded, ruthless and opinionated at times. No disrespect to people in this field or aspiring to be in this field, if you are or want to be a journalist, than by all means do your thing, but it's just not for me. I was totally turned off to journalism after 1 semester of journalism classes. So in my eyes, journalism is definitely out of the picture for me.

My major is now psychology, along with the majority of my college friends. But that's NOT why I chose to change my major to psych. I chose it for many complex reasons that only certain people would understand, so I won't get into it on the blog. The main reason, which I am willing to disclose on the blog, is that I want to help people with their problems. I feel like psychology and journalism is a big contrast, because with psych you're helping people out and making the world a more positive place, and with journalism, i feel like a lot of the time you have to bother people for information and pry into their private lives just to gather enough info for your story, mainly for entertainment purposes and monetary gains. I feel like psychology would be a much better fit for me, considering that i don't like gossiping, spreading rumors, or to be the bearer of bad news, which all is involved with journalism. I want to specialize in adolescent psychology, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I know I'd like to be a therapist of some sort... but I don't want to be a straight-laced, goes-by-the-book-all-the-time therapist. I wanna be a cool therapist, man... if there is a such thing. If not, then I'll be the first. I'll put that shit on my business card, it'll look like this:

Lol... recently I've been thinking of another career choice... and that career
choice isssssss.... Creative Writing! And it's all thanks to this blog. I'm excited about writing again. I've been writing songs to play on my guitar lately too. I've always been told by just about all my teachers that I'm a great writer, and I love doing it, so why the hell not? I figured if anything I can be a therapist, and write books on the side... sounds simple enough, huh? I mean I know to do that and be successful is ALOT easier said than done, but i figure that I can do it. I wanna start writing short stories, or maybe long stories, idk, that are fiction but are based on my experiences. When i start those I'll put a few for you guys to read on the blog =).

SoooOo those are my career ideas, aside from my dream of being a pro pool player. And I'm not being random, I really do want to be a pool player.. for those die hard "Words from the studly Ruben =)" fans who remember my first post, I mentioned that billiards is one of my all time favorite things to do. And it runs in the family, my Dad is my mentor and friendly rival in biliards, and my grandfather, who i named my pool stick after, taught my dad how to play. I feel like I'm carrying on the family tradition and would be taking it to new heights if I found success as a pro. I mean I'm probably not pro-material yet, but I'm sure if I keep at it I soon will be.

Wow, you see, I was bored when I started writing this, but now by channeling my boredom into something productive I opened up my seemingly dull night at home to a world of new creative possibilities. Na mean, son?!! Well I'm gonna go do one or more of these things:

-Read the book I've been reading
-Write a short story
-Write a long story
-Write a medium story
-Write an extra large story =P
-Read other people's blogs
-Go on facebook
-Talk to people on AIM
-Finish up writing a song
-Anything else that comes to chest*

*Why did I just say "Anything that comes to chest"? Because remember i said earlier when I said "chest" in this post, I meant my mind. And I told you to remember that, and you didn't! Pitiful, man... you see yourself!? Not remembering a simple word switch.... *sighs* its okay, don't beat yourself up. Now back to your regular programming...

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, but it's time to say goodbye to Mr. Rubers, kids. Yippie ki yay, motherfucker!
