Ok. It was just a simple contest that anyone could have won; but, the laws of numbers fell my way and somehow I managed to win. I can’t tell you how excited I am to win something. What I won doesn’t hold any real monetary value or anything but just the simple fact I won anything is just too great of emotion not to share. Luck and chances have everything to do with it. It’s such a nice reprieve from the ordinary when something falls into your lap and you were only barely trying. Hopefully by sharing my excitement, the... Continue reading

I don’t mean to sound snippy but too many people complain about it. It’s unavoidable, unchangeable and just a fact that you have to accept. It’s too exhausting to think about the things I can’t change. It’s just another one of those things that you have to ride the tide on. You live it and perform it to the best of your abilities. I’ve heard you are supposed to do this aging thing gracefully. As far I can tell, and I don’t pretend to have lived any longer or more than most, there is nothing graceful about it. It’s always...

Why do I Blog? I don’t expect to gain any fame, readers, or notoriety from this. I write as though I have an audience of readers because it makes this easier. I look back at my few posts that I have started with and I don’t particularly even enjoy what I have even written. I however continue to soldier on, questioning if every word should even be written. Why? I have an idea. It winds though my mind like a song. It’s a song that you don’t know the artist or name of. It’s a song that you can’t even... Continue reading

I really like the idea of everything being connected. I realize that it is a romantic notion and I admit that people who carry on deep conversations with plants scare me. I like the notion of the “Butterfly Effect.” I will even entertain the idea of Astrology and read my horoscope more often than I would like to admit. Fate and destiny scare me and I will continue to cling to my free will but like a Viking embrace what will be will be. This notion of connectivity to the universe I am in and the energy that surrounds us.... Continue reading

What was I thinking? I had a job interview today. It's freezing cold out. I was offered a warm drink before and after the interview and twice I turned it down. I wanted that warm drink of tea and twice I turned it down. It was cold out. I needed that warm cup of tea to defrost and twice I turned it down. Really, what was I thinking? As I drudged through the cold with my ears burning with the crisp sensation of frostbite I pondered the root, source, origin of this error. To get straight to the point and... Continue reading

I am always trying to get more out of what I do every day. One of the ways I do this is to combine activities. Hey, life’s short and there is so much to experience and do. From the suggestion of another I have recently started to listen to audio books while I run. Audio books never appealed to me before because, well quite frankly, they put me to sleep. A very combination to have while driving I assure you. Instead of listening to the radio or my typical playlist while I ran this week I decided to try the... Continue reading

Something I continually rediscover is when you have a lot of time on your hands you can get lazy with just about everything. Have enough time and it can lead to disinterest in just about everything. Things that would ordinarily appeal to you like going to the movies, out for a walk or even just getting together with friends no longer motivate you. The spiral continues to lead downward from here potentially bringing depression and more importantly the lack of growth. This is the time when I like to turn up the heat. Look at the extra time as an... Continue reading

My life is in complete chaos for the moment. Maybe chaos is an inappropriate term for it, it's more of at a standstill and I am in a frenzy trying to give it a kick in the pants. Networking, sending out resumes, working on some challenging health and personal goals consume my time. The pitch is feverish and I can feel the heavy burden of anticipation as I wait for something to break. Despite all of this my mood is "chipper". Why? I have surrendered to life’s rhythm. You can do everything right, plan for every detail and attempt to... Continue reading

I have never before recomended a movie to so many. It can only be described as something they have never seen before. It's like that first bite into your new favorite food. I am a very broke, poor popper that... Continue reading

I really can't stop thinking about the spiritual aspect of this Avatar movie. I realize that many people have been talking about the story, effects, and the environmental issues that this movie addresses. While I love and agree with everyone of these incredible things, for me it's the spiritual aspect of the movie that has really affected me. It has reinforced the values of being connected in the world at a much deeper level. "I see you." Was such a prolific simple line that really means so much. I think about the simple things in life I ignore and the... Continue reading
