it has recently come to my attention that i am a mile wide and an inch deep.

but enough about my \/@%|^@ ...

in thinking about how i'm going to waste my summer what meaningful internship i'm going to hold this summer, i'm flirting with the idea of going to a small tech company out in california that you've probably never heard of. quite honestly, there is something unexplainable that draws my breasts heart to silicon valley.

i realize i don't really know anyone in california except a few of my college friends' parents. i admit i don't know anything about california except that it has a lot of traffic. and honestly, i acknowledge that i don't know much about technology except how to blog and find porn on the internet (not mutually exclusive).

then again, i'm actually interested in the company, the industry, and the woman who would be my boss sounds amazing. besides, when else am i going to have an opportunity to go live in a random city that sports gorgeous weather, fantastic wine, and amazingly sexy guys for three months?

when it comes to new opportunities, i'm insatiable. i'm not sure if i crave conquering new cities and new talents or if i just have severe life-ADD: which either makes me a dictator or a prime case for ritalin.

now that i think about it, i've lived in four cities in the last seven years. i'm a licensed bartender and working towards my certificate in gemology. i'm looking into an esthetician license so i can start an eyelash extension business alongside my dream catering company. when my sister was unhappy with her bridal bouquet on her wedding day, this-impromptu-florist designed a flower arrangement that she ultimately loved. did i mention that i also edit videos, create photography slideshows, and am formally pursing two different graduate degrees?

it's no wonder i can't do anything right. i move from one thing to the next the way lindsey lohan changes hair color (three times last week alone). and it's not that i'm flippant about or unappreciative of any of my pursuits, it's just that i like to be good at whatever interests me.

while so many of my twenty-something peers comparably diversify their talent portfolios, i would argue that this sort of life-ADD is at least partially genetic. growing up, my brother's hobbies were as diverse as they were odd. he went from kayaking to rock climbing, model airplane flying to scuba diving, bmx mountain biking to model rocket building, guitar to sailing to salt-water fish tanks. my dad has been a doctor, a real estate investor, a bio-tissue bank entrepreneur, a vitamin company founder, and i think he worked on one of the first digital platforms for virtual supermarkets.

for us, life and hobbies and jobs aren't as much about the on-going experience as it is about mastering it. we love the chase. we love the learning. we love the catch. and then we get distrac...

right.

maybe i'm just waiting for something (or someone) to catch and hold my attention. applications are out and will be considered on a rolling basis. or maybe this is the way i'll always live my life and will require legal size business cards to list the alphabet of degrees and certificates after my name.

so while i'm still not 100% sure i'll take this summer internship, all i know is that if i spend the summer in silicon valley, i'm coming back with much bigger, perkier cleavage.

after all, i'll need to interview for an internship next summer too.
