[Phalanx]

So occasionally I decide to come in here and drop a line or two about my life, not sure why really - I guess I've just been here for around 5 years (maybe more) and consider some of you, even though I seldom take it out of the forums, are my peeps yknow?

So throughout my time here, I've been lazy guy, I've been stay at home and so nothing but get stoned guy, I've been (still am) chef/cook enthusiast guy, and I've been Playstation guy...ex angry keyboard warrior to rather chilled sarcastic semi-stoner, green lifestyle advocate, healthy eating guy you all know today.

One thing that might've been apparent is that I quite like animals...in fact, I tend to like them more than people generally.
I guess you could say that there have been some incidents that I've met some people, and observed some people that have actually quite inspired me.

I've never really enjoyed anything I've done, and I've sure as hell never thought anything I've done has remotely made the world a better place, it's all I've ever wanted, to do something I could be truly proud of, something selfless, and part of the solution to a problem that effects me on a personal level.

So, I'm starting over.
In 2009, at the -not-so-young-anymore age of (then) 28, I will be enrolling at college to do a variety of animal studies, animal rights and protection info, vet nursing elements too.
I hope to eventually work for the RSPCA (similar to your ASPCA, folks in the states), an organisation I've got nothing but respect and admiration for.
My ideal job will actually be to enforce the laws, and become what they call an "inspector"...it's a hard job, and some parts of it will be very hard for me to see, but for the first time in my life I will be doing something I'm truly proud of...the pays average, the conditions likely not great, and although it's taken years of flipflopping from one thing to another, I think I'm finally where I need to be.

So yeah, that's it for me...just thought I'd let you guys know.
