Thinking About Becoming a Priest
By: ejdeyoe	Published: 12/27/2000
Looking for a job has to be one of the hardest things in the world, especially when the last thing you want to do is work. It isn’t the lack of want for work either, it is the idea of whatever job that I do, I am sure that I wont be happy in. Instead, I do nothing, and I complain about it, a lot. So why not just find something mindless and time consuming to waste the time? Well, I have tried that route also, and it left me feeling worse, more exposed to being unhappy, or not caring than before. The sick thing about jobs is that everything requires qualification, and I am not qualified for anything, nor do I have the current disposition to go become pseudo-educated by an institute of higher learning. I want a job, sure, but I don’t want to sit in a fucking classroom for 4 years, especially now at 23, to give me the power or right to be a success story. Why is it that jobs require so much work? I have found that I am usually uncomfortable in positions of power, but I really don’t enjoy it when someone is telling me what to do either, another problems with jobs. Careers wouldn’t be so difficult if everyone wasn’t so concerned on how good it looks, or the title of profession that you have. Did I say ‘everyone’, I meant it is my own, that is how I view it. I often blame this outlook on society, what job you have makes you who you are, but in all actuality it is my own viewpoint, well that and the view of the ex-girlfriend who left me because I didn’t have a decent career in mind. How about becoming a priest? I mean, I am Catholic, and they just have to get up once a week and talk in front of a group of people, maybe do a little research during the week, but all in all, they just spread goodness, right? Well, I think I could do that, I mean, all I really want to do is spread goodness, and do nothing else, but feel good about it. I could manage being a priest, and Catholics don’t really look down on having a drink from time to time, so I would be set. I could be a priest, well, I think. I was once a dealer. Yeah, I sold marijuana, and on occasion if I got a good deal on cocaine or acid, I would make a profit too. I wonder if that would get in the way of the whole priest job thing? I loved it though, because I was running my own business, didn’t need qualifications other than a hook up, and a crowd to disperse to. I stopped because the paranoia got to me over time, that and people calling me at all fucking hours of the night. When you are a dealer, you are running a 24hour business. When you look at it all, you don’t really make that great of an hourly wage, no benefits (but who needs health benefits, when you have your own pharmacy?), and that always present lurking risk of being busted. Luckily I never was. I know it is terrible that I admit to dealing, when I have never even tried some of the drugs that I dealt. I just never felt the desire to do it, and there was always that fear of becoming addicted to whatever, or not coming down off of this or that. I couldn’t have that while I was still trying to attempt making money and not getting busted. Really now though, I just don’t care about making money, and that whole idea of going to jail is just pretty frightening. Dealing was easy though. Okay, seriously, a job is something that does define you as a person, it is a measuring stick to where society sees you. Your peer groups distinguish what they can and will invite you to based upon your income, and that ability to afford a good trip. When was the last time that your stockbroker cousin asked you to go golfing with him? He doesn’t even golf on courses that I am allowed to look at, unless I was working maintenance on it that is. It is about the job though, the idea of money made for services rendered, and I can’t see half of them as worth anything in the entire scheme of life. I sure do complain a lot about not having money, for someone who lives in a society where the unemployment rate is under two percent right now. The economy is good, there are jobs out there, but the jobs that are up for grabs are the shit jobs that no one else wants anyway, well that is unless I would have that degree, which I am totally against getting. A degree is just another symbol of vanity, in an all-too-vain society. I don’t want it. Our lives, made up of days that we live, and hours that we manage, and minutes that are spent grinding it out, trying to make our way. Well, it is a disgusting idea, I don’t like it at all that my life is based on minutes, and money. If I want to look at a tree for seven hours, why is that so wrong? Why can’t I be four hours late to a doctors appointment, or come tomorrow for a date that was set for tonight? What happened to my own pace of life, because I know that the pace that society has set for me isn’t one that I want to be involved in. Man, the priesthood is sounding better all the time.

You help to explain (0 replies) started by Anonymous Goofball (01.19.2001 8:25:20 PM EST) why it is that the world thinks that our generation is filled with lazy assfucks. People like you are why I am constantly having to prove to myself that it's ok that I am in my twenties, and have goals and am willing to work to achieve them; that I understand that the easy way isn't always the best way; that as similair as personal freedom and laziness may seem to you, I see a difference. Granted, I might be naive, but I'm still a firm believer that we all have the means to find hapiness in our lives while still maintaining a balance that allows us to be, if not productive, at the very least harmless to society. Keep in mind that by adhering to the philosophy that one's proffesion defines oneself, you're admitting that while you may want to live by your rules, you still care way too much about what others think. WHO GIVES A FUCK?! Do what you need to do to thrive in todays fucked-up world, regardless of what your golfing cousin thinks.

right there with you (0 replies) started by ccalabro (01.05.2001 0:36:24 AM EST) i applaud your bravery to admit such things. i've been feeling the same about work. i do have a degree but still think that most of what most people do is pointless and vain. you've taken a step back and looked at life for what it is; good for you. it is an american myth that we all want to have fabulous high-pressure jobs like on ER. i don't want to be defined by my occupation. i think that i'm the same person whether i'm collecting people's garbage or trading stocks on wall street. it's so annoying when the first thing a person asks when he first meets you is, "what do you do?" and then privately damns you because of your response.

Hmmmmm..... (0 replies) started by Anonymous Goofball (01.04.2001 10:18:38 PM EST) Have you considered journalism? You have a very honest and frank view of the world. The world needs more people to be honest about it- rather than lying and pretending that everything is okay. I wish you luck! =o)

Yo, dude, do something. (0 replies) started by cheeseball (12.29.2000 2:59:42 PM EST) Go get something to do, something easy, work in a coffee shop where lots of undecided, frustrated peopled work. Meet different people, talk to others, ask about jobs they enjoyed. Take a class, enroll in one class that sounds interesting down at the community college. Use the career resource people there, maybe find something that you connect with. You sound intelligent enough, maybe taking a class or two will jump start your brain and allow you to find some joy somewhere. There's tons of possibilities out there, instead of talking about the priesthood, go visit a cloister, inquire about staying with the monks for a short while. You will probably find a little time for self reflection, and gain some new perspectives on your life. You'll probably also find that there is a lot more you will give up of your self and of your "freedom" in the priesthood. There is plenty of responsibility that comes with "spreading the goodness" which you have written about. There aren't too many easy ways out, as you get older and childhood delusions drop away, you eventually have to make some descions and live with your consequences. Hopefully, at home,at school, at church or in some job, you will find a good friend, guide or mentor who can give you some mental/spirtual support in your soul searching. Good luck, blessings or whatever you choose to believe in.

CHILL (0 replies) started by butthole (12.29.2000 2:31:28 PM EST) Man are you sure you never tasted any of your wares? I was going to tell ya to stick with the pot, but I don't know---- Ah fuck it man, smoke the shit like there's no end to it!! You are way too uptight for 23, and you should chill before stress turns you into a prozac eating self denying wanna-be Yuppie piece of shit. Think about it dude, can you handle working all your fucking life for that 2.5 kids, good looking, high maintence wife with 10 credit cards and a BMW? If you want to be a free spirit you have to give in to whatever is trying to communicate with you. Take your time and comtemplate before you rush into anything. Happy New Year.

well... (0 replies) started by rook30505 (12.28.2000 0:06:19 AM EST) in my opinion,priesthood doesn't sound all that bad(except the whole abstinence thing).But sellin drugs was pretty sweet while I was doing it.I sold weed and acid,man,the money was quick and easy,but after a while the paranoia thing starts getting to ya.A few people you know get busted and your shitting your pants.I'd do it again in a second if it was legal,but wouldn't pretty much everyone? Since then I've gotten a real job,and yes,it sucks.But you gotta make some sacrifices. Maybe that shit will be legal one day and I can go back to the good life.Awwwwww well. Pikachu is the devil.
