Another Life Thought
Nils wrote this comment in January of this year. Given our recent discussion about life choices and comics, I think it’s appropriate to bring out his well-articulated viewpoint:
I think that we have to learn to deal with uncertainty for the time being. We’re 21 for christ’s sake, the possibilities and choices that lay ahead of us are virtually endless. The problem is that high school and college have not primed us to deal with the unknown. There has always been a set track that we have been required to follow and that track pretty much ends with college, I think. We should all be prepared for unforeseen conflicts and always have back up plans because you never know how things will turn out. I’ve been thinking a lot about post graduation lately and I have thrown together a few scenarios for myself: stay with TV and pursue jobs in TV market, move to LA and attempt the film industry, join the peace corp, or move to Norway and do something (read: I have no clue). I think can live with those options.
Good stuff. Oh, and this comment is attached to the post Sometimes, You Feel Like A Spring.

It’s funny how plans can change so quickly. A little Nils update: I will not be joining the Peace Corp and will most likely not be going to Norway (to work). LA, film, and TV pursuits are still applicable, but now I’ve added a potentially stronger career candidate: PR or advertising in the Twin Cities, Chicago, or Milwaukee. Or teaching English abroad….. see? The choices never end

Ahhh, but what do you do if your future is so clear and can’t avoid the inevitable…
One such assurance: Death

And taxes.
