The Second Coming

Jedd Davis weighs tin car against profesional achievement

It’s been a while since I’ve contributed to tin car. It’s been longer than I expected, too long. I’m not saying I’m disappointed in myself, or disgusted by my absence, I’m just saying. However, I have thought a lot about tin car, especially recently.

Things happened since my last rant. I got a new job. I like my job so much that I arrive earlier than I used to, and leave later. My job is so good, that I think about it all the time, and little else – sometimes even on the weekend. It’s so good, that I dialed up tin car and invited some friends to come over – you know, share the wealth. We all like it so much that we don’t even talk to each other, even though we sit within 4 feet of each other – that’s how great it is.

And that’s where tin car comes in.

Tin car is what’s good about life. Tin car is where you express your feelings about things that matter (to you, at least). Tin car is a place where you learn about others and yourself. Tin car isn’t a job, and your life shouldn’t be either.

Is it difficult to have both? A life and a job? You bet ya … especially when you don’t know what you want to be when you grow up. So instead of spending the limited free time you have in front of the television, take a deep breath, re-focus your energy on the people and hobbies that make you feel most alive, and remember that the good people at tin car are usually ready to get drunk at the drop of a hat, even if they do have to wake up earlier to go to work.

Viva la Tin car.
