break

I had fun. I need another job. I'm in a shitty mood today. Sometimes I think i should make this private so i could write what I really want and not have to worry about other people looking at it. The truth is prolly nobody reads it anyhow. I wish I would've spent more time (or some time at all) with certain people, maybe a tad less with others. Then of course there's the people you know that you can't stand, but no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you wind up taking a chance hanging out with them anyway. Obviously a bad look, it always is.

I'm actually kinda glad break is over. I need a break from break.
In other news, my friend Joe is now single, so we'll see how that works out. He was the only unexpected face that I actually enjoyed hanging out with for a change. I'm now reminded of why I had been screening AJ's calls and avoiding him for the last few weeks. o well breathe deep hahah.


It's really just one of those days..

Thought I'd share..

I saw this posted somewhere, and i thought I'd share it with you all. Even if you only take one thing from it, it'll be worth the read.

GEORGE CARLIN POST 9-11 (His wife recently died...)
A wonderful Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have
taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider
freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
bigger houses and smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get
too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate
too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have
trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've
done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We
write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to
wait. We build more computers to hold more
information, to produce more copies than ever, but
we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow
digestion, big men and small character, steep
profits and shallow relationships. These are the
days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier
houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick
trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when
technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose
either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,
because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
you in awe, because that little person soon will
grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a
warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart and it
doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and
an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish
the moment for someday that person will not be there
again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and
give time to share the precious thoughts in your
mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes
age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is
why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull
you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer,
crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle
mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you
gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move
on. The only person who is with us our entire life,
is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether
it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants,
hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve
it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can
improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the
mall, to the next county, to a foreign
country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them,
at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Just Another Day

Well after consuming way too much food last night, today i got back on my diet. I woke up at like 8:30, went and voted in the local elections today, then hit up the gym. Then I hit the gym again around 7 or 8pm. Just wait, by January I'm gonna be jacked as a mofo.

Eh, I started this, but i really don't feel like writing much, at least i'll finish it real quick. g'nite y'all ;)

Sundays suck..

Sundays suck, they just remind you that tomorrow in Monday, the weekend is over, and you still haven't done half the shit you were supposed to over the weekend.

Hahaha, now that that's out of my system...
Diddy finished the marathon today; good for him. Damn this is getting random. Basically I didn't do too much today besides the gym and some work around the house for my mom. It sucks around here, I really wish I was somewhere else sometimes. I miss the summer, I miss my friends, I miss not having so much responsibility and shit to do. Eh, I guess i'll just have to suck it up til Thanksgiving.

You know, this sucks. All day I always have good ideas of stuff to write about here, like cool, thought provoking, deep shit, then by the time i sit down here to write something, it's like my mind is freakin' blank.

Just Another Day..

Basically I slept late today, lined up another small job for one of my old bosses. So that's cool..more $$ and we all know I could always use more of that. I downloaded some new music, so that's always fun.

In other news, I have a ton of work to do this weekend. I'll probably do some of it tonite. No biggie, I haven't been much of a party animal lately anyhow.

I saw Joe and Megs last night so that was cool. I don't see them that often anymore, but it was just like old times haha... and Joe..u will do that dance again..u will ;P.

Ya ever wonder if some people know that when they call you, or when they say certain things, that they make your day? Just a random thought..
