It's Difficult...



-when my window of opportunity starts to fog up.

-dealing with ignorance - much more so than stubbornness.

-going against my nature. It's unnatural.

-deciding to "lay down and roll over" rather than fight for what's right.

-to walk away when all I want to do is throw down and let loose.

-coming home to just a dog. A great dog, but a dog nonetheless.

-being separated from someone you love.

-realizing the mistakes you made cannot be rectified with a mulligan.

-admitting that I don't like the Cardinals, Ted Drewes and Imos Pizza when I'm surrounded by diehards.

-to resist the urge to start playing Christmas music before Halloween.

-to resist the urge to get two videos at the Red Box.

-to keep my office clean. I am a piler, through and through.

-to not want fries with that.

-let go of and not repeat the past, because some things are just so darn good I think I'll never have them again. I will.

-to accept that most people will remember the negative things you do/say rather than the positive things.

-to realize that high school never really ends - life is a continuation of that mindset, depending on who you're dealing with.

Some Kinda Love

In one of my recent posts, I quote the great and powerful Yoda about committing to doing rather than trying. This year, so far, has been taken up with more planning and less doing.

I am okay with this, however, because planning is the legwork prior to doing. I am taking a new route with certain areas of my life. Rather than a "skin of my teeth" approach, I will be mapping out my vision quests.

I just spent the last hour walking through the plan for tomorrow's live-donor kidney transplant that I get to help film. I am over the moon excited - not just about filming parts of it, but also getting to witness something so amazing. Did I mention how much I love my job?

The new semester starts tomorrow, and as I am almost finished with school, it's the beginning of the end. So this week is jam-packed, and I am ready for it all.

I've not had time to listen to any music yet today, so I just turned on some Velvet Underground to get me going. "Some Kinda Love" live at Max's Kansas City....

Lay it on me, Lou...lay it on me.......................

yeah.
