My Predictions for the Future

So I've been doing a lot of research the past few days on different job possibilities. I have also been doing some research on the Women's World Cup. So here are some predictions of where Paul Murphy will be in a year.

Prediction A: The U.S. army.
So I've been looking into flying helicopters for the army. It looks like fun... I mean a challenging meaningful job. The pay looks aight; $28/ year. That's not bad when you think they pay for housing and stuff. Also they'd help with the student loans. Now they probably won't pay them all off but they will help pay for all of them. Which is nice. I was looking at army base stuff and some of the bases have some neat programs like intramural sports and stuff. I think flying helicopters would be a blast. Those guys look like they really enjoy their job.

Prediction B: Not work related
So I've been following the women's world cup and it's pretty exciting. The ladies from the states have been on a rampage. In their last three matches they've bagled their opponents. Most recently they gave England a hurting worse than a visit to the Orthodontist, both of which the English players were due for. England aint no joke either. Their star forward Kelly Smith was completely shut down. Which is hot. Apparently any time the U.S. has faced a big time European forward they've brought in Leslie Osborne to shut them down. Earlier in the tournament she was assigned to mark up Sweden's Victoria Svensson. On both occasions Osborne has thrown the shutout. That's hott. You've got to love the defensive specialist. I like to think of myself as a bit of defensive specialist when it comes to disc. Maybe there's a future for Leslie and myself. So next year it might go something like this.

(jogging down the street)
Me- So Leslie, what are you planning on doing now that you've graduated? Plan on staying in Cali?

Leslie Osborne- I dunno. Maybe I'll get a job as a sports broadcaster or something.

Me- Hey what's that your wearing around your neck?

Leslie- It's my 2003 MVP award

Me- Oh that sounds nice.

Leslie- What's that garden gnome your wearing around your neck.

Me - Oh this?! Well its my really prestigious award. "Old Man Frisbee" from Harding University 2006.

Leslie- I had to be one of the best young players in the country to get my award.

Me- I had to beet out both Justin Bland and Luke Dockery for mine. And Bland was like 32.

Leslie- I helped lead the US women's team to a wold cup.

Me- I use to be the captain of the "B" team. It was a pretty prestigious job.

Leslie- That doesn't sound all that great. And how can you compare that to "World Champion"

Me- Well yours is good but c'mon it wasn't like you were the "captain." I also won "Best Hustle 2006." That's pretty good. I mean you didn't graduate college until you were like 24. I graduated when I was like 20.

Leslie- Whatever. I marked up on some of the best women forwards in the World and shut them down.

Me- Wow that's pretty good. I'm somewhat of a defensive specialist myself. I threw 34 shutout points at Regionals. TAMU T-state Arkansas- big schools. I also have the distinction of tooling one of Arkansas cockiest players "Champaign." I'll show you the video of me reading the play sometime.

Leslie- Wow that is pretty good. You want to go to Wendy's and get something off the dollar menu tonight.

Me- Sure. I'll even spring for a Frosty if you want.

Leslie- Your on.

That's the great thing about the future. Anything is possible. Unfortunately I don't think Leslie Osborne will be asking me to be her jogging partner. But that would be so hot if she let me buy her a frosty. We'll see what I can do...

Paul "also a midfielder" Murphy

  • PMurph, please don't join the Army. Seriously, the Army has so many problems that you'll never hear about it's ridiculous. You should look into being a C17 pilot for the Air Force or something. I'm not like saying that because I'm biased I'm saying that because really, the Adeprmy has got some serious problems. With the Army your tours down rang are at least 15 months, and you're homesick now...you have no idea. With the Air Force your deployments are usually on 4 to 6 months. I'm serious, please look into the Air Force. Love ya PMurph!

  • Paul- you own me. There are very few times while reading something I laugh audibly (which requires something special). This was one of those times.

    A side note: you beat me by one vote... and I was honored to lose to you!

  • Paul: Are you wearing heels?

    Leslie: Nope. Are you walking on your knees?

    Paul: umm, nope.

  • This sounds like another good idea/bad idea.

    Good idea: asking a girl out.

    Bad idea: Joining the army instead.

  • Dude I have to agree with Bland. I just laughed outloud in the Hillman Library, of the thought of your crazy conversation and the Frosty. About the Army. I don't know man, the Army is a good career option, I won't deny that fact. My father served for 20 years. Those great sounding bonuses that you refer to, are fine you may not qualify for all of them, it all depends. I know my father didn't really like his job (engineering), it was a way to make an income and I am glad of that fact, which is the lesson I have learned from him. Do what you love. And on being a pilot. I don't know; remove visions of showing tourists the Big Island of Hawaii and think more dodging missiles in Fallujah. Another sad note about the Army, when you are apart of the Army you area numberto them and they will move you and use you whenever they want. You just have to weigh it all out.

  • Going without a computer for two weeks kinda does make it hard for me to keep up. Interesting thoughts, though.
