slip

If you slip and fall, it's cool. If you slip and fall in front of a group of people, it can still be cool and funny. If you keep slipping and keep falling and you get up every time a better pedestrian, you're learing to walk alone. If you slip and fall and slip and fall and start to walk crooked or just givce up on walking.....Well...maybe it's time to ride a bike or walk on the other side of the sidewalk.

wrong, me? come on.

I find it amusing how some people will tell you how wrong your ideas are, how wrong your life might be, how you need to "calm" or "settle" down, how you need to take it easy, or how you think you know it all. I mean, if your life is wrong you won't be happy, if you need to settle, go ahead and settle for less, if you need to take it easy, anything hard is usually worthwhile, and if we thought we knew it all, we'd all be rich and successful...it's an expression.

but you can't argue with a happy person because after the argument, they're still happy and moving on to the next thing that brings them happiness. I've always found that to be an interesting trait. Happy people don't dwell on things. They fix things or they move on.

And Principal.......maybe in some way I was getting it all these years. I mean, my suitcase is filled with tons of good shit. Here's to the travels on the road, in your head and in your heart.

chasing sun

Do whatever makes you happy. Don't do what you expect might make you happy or might make someone else happy. Too many times we assume we know what really makes us happy, but it's those times when you get to sit back and think about when you were happiest and what was involved in bringing you to that level of elation. Too often do people spend countless hours, days, and sometimes years trying to get that happiness back. You may never get that happiness back, but you also will never get back the time you spent chasing it...

one way

One way to deal with the stress of working through your own problems or issues is to help a friend work on their own. You're not the only one who goes through tough times and it makes you feel better and less stressed to navigate a friend through their own problems. I guess it's all well and good until you let their problems infect your life. Then it becomes toxic. A few of my close friends and I always swap advice and man, am I better for it. They turn trivial into common and stressful into laughable. If not for friends I think most of us would be in the insane asylum......with all our friends.

intersection

Sometimes the past, present and future can all intersect at the same time. I think everyone wants to pick the right road and continue down that path, but for a few seconds, it might be wise to just stand at the intersection and let some traffic pass by and let your thought process occur naturally. It seems as though people can be in such a hurry and in such a rush that they never even look down the other roads. Be more careful about crossing, you don't want to get hit by something moving so fast that you never saw it coming.

no idea

I have no idea what to write today. A lot is going on. I wonder though. If you decide not to speak your mind and hold something in, are you doing yourself more bad than good? Or are you sparing those who might be affected the most from feeling bad? I guess, it's a decision to be either selfish or selfless. I have respect for those who speak up about how they feel, but then again I guess I have respect for those people that have held their tongues when they may have wanted to come down on me for something they felt. I guess in either case....I'll be biting my tongue to do either.

eve

So I didn't have any plans for new years eve and it turned out to be a great time. I guess flying by the seat of your pants isn't so bad once in a while. Out with old and in with the new. Change is good even if you don't want it to happen at first. We're all in some routine, but I guess you need to look yourself in the mirror at some point and realize that bad routines will end...well...badly. Here's to changing the game and breaking bad.
