Identity Crisis

There are so many things I want to be when I grow up …


… science fiction writer

… guitarist and songwriter

… theoretical mathematician

… cutting edge particle physicist

… doctor / dentist / anesthesiologist

… Dominican / Benedictine / Jesuit / contemplative

… professor of English literature


I’ve dabbled in most to varying degrees, but never with wholehearted conviction. As a result, the job I do to pay the bills, where I spend perhaps fifty or sixty hours each week, is one that is completely meaningless to me.

Kids, don’t let this happen to you!
