History Lessons

Maybe I should quit trying to be a history teacher...


or maybe not, i don't really know anymore.


That's may be a tad bit too pessimistic though, 
I would honestly love to teach history for a living.
i just don't love being in college until i'm 27.
I'm too impatient to get the the end.


History teacher is on the short-list 
of jobs that i would be happy doing.
And believe me when I say, it truly is a short-list.


So, besides history teacher, here are a few assorted jobs
that i could happily do for the rest of my life.

1. Paleontologist - Besides my well-pronounced love for dinosaurs 
& the fact that, to this day, I still retain more dinosaur knowledge 
than i'll ever possibly be able to use 
outside of this profession anyhow, 
the idea of spending my time in the Great Basin, 
searching for bones in the hot, dusty sunshine all day appeals to me. 
I've been a rather high-stress person as of late, 
but i feel like i could relax out in the fresh air.

2. BaseballWriter/Sportswriter - Even though i may not look like it,
I harbor a deep love for all things sports. 
I do mean 'all-sports' too, (except NASCAR) 
I try not limit myself to just one. 


That being said, I love baseball so much that it boggles my mind.
I watch spring training games & read rumor sheets constantly.
I can spend hours reading the Yankees platoon outfield situation. 
And not only do i love to watch it & read about it, 
I absolutely love to talk about. 
 I'm always down to discuss the WHIP of NL Central starting pitchers, 
Or debate the importance of Batting Average as compared to OPS.


So i guess, it would be great to have a job that incorporates 
something i spend so much time reading about voluntarily, anyhow.  

3. Professional Wrester - This has more of a physical issue involved. 
I feel like If I had been born maybe... six inches taller, 
i would have already attempted to be a wrestler. 
I feel like i'm clever enough to come up with funny shit to say.
Plus, i'm well known to be able to take a good beating.


Oh, my wrestling name would be "Eddie Coffin"
and I would wear this mask.


I might buy that mask, regardless.

4. Eggplant Wizard - ...Beware my Eggplant Curse.
