If Not Now When?

Well here I am at 50 years 7 months and 19 days wondering what the hell I want to do when I grow up. I certainly have had my share of ups and downs . From losing my trucking company after the .com bubble burst to losing my cabinet shop in this last economic fiasco I have decided its time to RUN, and I mean RUN, back to school and try and re-educate myself for my next 65 years on this earth. Barbara Walters said that the life expectancy will rise to 115 years old in the next 30 years and if she is selling it I am buying it. Anyways this will only be one phase of re-inventing matt . I will be cronicling the next approximately 18 months while I am attending Cuyahoga Community College in pursuit of a associate degree in nursing. Having already graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelors of Science in business I found that this is the quickest route to secure and stable job market that should be around for awhile. Now having said that and with my past history of involving myself in industries that blow up as soon as I try and make a living in them all I can say is PLEASE PLEASE Mr Obama dont screw it
up.
Along with the re-education of Matt I am also looking to find my physical health again. I am currently 50 pounds over weight and for a person that was a fitness fanatic for the first 28 years of my life I sure have let myself go. I got to tell you that these first pictures I am going to post absolutely horrify me. I feel like an absolute blob and if I don't do something about it I wont be able to blame Barbara when I don't make it to 115 years old.
OK so we have the re-education of Matt and the re-fitness of Matt covered but I think it would only be right to document my attempt to re-spiritualize myself. Life can be tough and it seems that the values and moralities that you so firmly believed in when you were young get beat on and diminished over time. I would like to get it back and I hope that by documenting my attempts to renew my spirituality it will push me to make daily efforts to address my attempt to not only achieve a sound mind and body but also a soul.
Well here we go and this should be fun. I should be posting daily updates starting Tuesday (school starts) and some really hideous pictures that I ain't so proud of LOL.
