The First Post

Well, I've been tooling around the web and reading various blogs for the past couple of days. I have been thoroughly bored at work and need some type of outlet. I'm hoping this would be good for me and I hope that I stick with it and don't forget about it anytime soon like the rest of the things in my life.
I've been thinking about getting a motorcycle for the past couple of months, a 600cc sports bike. One of my favorite things to do is drive...I love doing it and would always rather drive than sit in the passenger seat so long as I am not tired. I love the point where I just get in the zone and feel the flow of traffic and the power of the car. It's at that point where I can be one with both traffic and car and make my way effortlessly and at will, weaving and accelarating.
Well, I've had my current car, a 2001 Honda Civic EX coupe, 5 speed, for about 3 1/2 years now and I've grown out of it. I need something significantly more powerful and I think the natural progression would be a motorcycle. I'm taking a class starting tonight which teaches you how to ride and at the end of the class you get your motorcycle license. They give you classroom instruction the first day and then they put you on a bike the following days 2. I'm very excited and it should be fun. I'll worry about buying a bike after this weekend.
A little bit about myself...
I'm an IT Manager for a company based in Long Island, NY. I have a great job and have been given a great deal of responsibility and opportunity at this company yet I'm not sure what I want to really do. I'm not passionate about my work and I strongly believe you have to be to be successful and most importantly happy.
The truth is I've never really known what I want to do with my life. Right now I'm not very passionate about anything so I can't even say: "alright, I'll drop what I'm doing right now and venture out and pursue this" because I haven't found out what makes me happy.
I've always liked working with my hands and am very good at fixing things.
I haven't found success in college although I was a good student when I was younger. I work full time and this past semester I started taking classes to try and get a degree. Can't really conjure up any interest in college though.
So, for now, I will procrastinate as much as possible and not venture out in the world to find out what I really want to do. I suppose I'm very timid in that sense.
Hope this blog provides somewhat of an outlet for me...
