window

If you ride with the windows up all the time you'll never be able to smell the fresh air or hear the sounds that you are missing. It may not always be good, but they may not always be bad.....two things they are is new and different. New can be good. Different can be better. Roll the window down and let it in.

*txt*

To the guy who invented the text message.....you really have allowed an entire human race to be non-confrontational, un-emotional, too emotional, too easy to access, too easy to ignore, quick, short, unresponsive, too responsive, crazy, annoyingly interesting, beautifully poetic, write in words that aren't right, make up for wrongs without ever apologizing, make symbols with symbols, and allow a completely calm night turn into a worlwind of carpal-tunnel intensity......I thank you for your hard work.

control

I find it funny how many people get frustrated when they don't have control over someone or something that's going on in their lives. I mean, I understand why something like that could be frustrating, but most things, well, like feelings and emotions, we do have a certain level of control over. You choose how to feel every day. What is interesting to me is while people get frustrated when they do not have control over something; they can be a pushover to someone or something that is controlling them and let this situation or individual control them. I think mentally, we can only avert our minds to what this type of control is doing to our psyche. In the end, I think we almost have to apologize to ourselves for allowing such control. I know we've all been controlled by something or someone in our lives, so I beg the question why? I don't know if such control provides some type of structure or reinforcement. I'm not talking about society's control or the control of the law. Most of us abide by those rules (wink), but I'm speaking on the things in life that just pop up and take us by the horns and drive us to the ground.....or walk us directly into a place we know won't feel good in the end.

Don't play fair, but do play.

split second

Are you like me and sometimes think about decisions you made in the past that you could have made differently? I mean, I'm not sure if it's feeling regretful or just kinda fate that we make the decisions. I guess if the end result is negative in nature you might be prone to feel bad about that decision. If it turns out positive, well, I guess that's the best outcome. Sometimes decisions seem to range anywhere from a second to years to make. I guess that's where they get split-second decisions. Thing of it is, I think it weighs less on you if you spend a very small amount of time making a decision. Then again, a decision that can be made so quickly and without thought usually seems to be the thing you wanted to do. Even if it didn't turn out the way you may have wanted it to.

Every day we're faced with making decisions. From the time we wake up until the time we fall asleep. I would have to say we make hundreds, maybe thousands of decisions in the blink of an eye. What to write, type, wear, eat, say, feel, etc. So how come so many of us live such indecisive and confusing lives? Or search for direction or guidance? I guess it's just finding you're way. I don't know....I'm undecided.

cold

Damn it's cold down here in Philly. Anyhow, the new year is starting off really well. It's ironic how just a different year can change your perspective on things and also minimize things that you may have thought had more of an impact on your life. Like I say, it's all in the reaction. A person once said to me, before you react in a negative or outlandish way, wait one or two days and see if you still feel the same way. Sure enough....you usually are much more mellow about what once bothered you. I see some friends and family taking trips to some really nice & jealously warm places. Seems like a great idea right about now considering the N'East is getting hit with a bit of an arctic blast and zero degree nights. I guess I like to take advantage of these times and find a place to get warm...and share some laughs. So get warm, share some good times, and remember...the cold goes away in a few months... :)

yes mr. police officer, there might be some things that could go towards a book.....but for some reason I think I need to stop making life so damn interesting. ha!

idle chatter

Sometimes it's not always about how you feel about yourself, but how others let you know how you feel to them. It's okay to tell a friend, a peer, a co-worker, or husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend how you feel about them. I think that too many times we are going to fast in life that we don't often tell those special people how much they mean to you. It's amazing how fulfilled you can feel when someone just says "hey, I'm happy you stopped by" or "hey, it was really good to see you...."

I think it's always appreciated when it's said face to face or voice to ear. We all need a pick-me-up every now and then, but when it's unexpected it just makes you feel that much better....

multi-tasking

I wonder what the criminals are doing when the police officer is busy on facebook....even more so I wonder what the kids are doing to the school when the principal is on facebook....okay...I wonder what gets done when the entire country is on facebook.

I guess we've all learned that word from our first interviews out of college....

Interviewer "Mr. X, do you know how to multi-task????"
Mr. X "If you're talking about double-fisting beers at one time.....you're god damn right I do!!!"...So do I get that 25-thou a year job or what?"
