Escape to Ectasy: A New Hope

For those of you who are savvy in the nature of popular culture you should know where the title of my Blog post comes from. For those of you who are more familiar with scrabble, you can appreciate the 14 points I earned from using the word Savvy in the last sentence. But no matter how you spin it, today was a big day in the world of Sir Joseph Lutz... (in my world, I have been Knighted).

Today, I started in the real world - post collegiate job -- salary, benefits, the whole "kit-and-cabootle" we have been told to be working for . Everything in my education has lead me to this day (for instance, I know that I should not have ended the previous sentence in a preposition... but I did anyways, because I am badass), and yet I don't feel any difference. Some would say that I just entered into the first day of the rest of my life, but I don't really like thinking of life in such large terms - it is overwhelming and maybe depressing? I guess I will just take a page out of Hansel and Gretel and follow these proverbeal "breadcrumbs" until I reach my overarching destination.

This is on a completely unrelated note, but I feel really compelled to share it with people... I have been trying to make this case for years, but nobody listens. And now I have found photographic evidence that helps prove my point. What am I talking about, you may be asking yourselves. Well, the Minnesota Twins fans be prepared to be shocked. I have always thought that Justin Morneau looked familiar. Not to say he is a goofy looking guy or anything, I mean he is practically a saint here in the cities... However, I always thought he had a recognizable face... and this is why.
