It's about time.
Ok, I never post on LiveJournal.
It's 6:32am. I'm allowed to act out of character.
Normally, I spend a great deal of my thoughts (and life) considering what I should be doing to better lead an interesting, adventurous life. In this imagined life, I'm handsome, capable, confident, and the hero of my own story. When I am frustrated at myself about life, it is usually because I do not feel I am being that sort of person.
But, I was looking at all those Facebook photos Jennifer archives, and I realized something amazing: My life kicks ass! Not "is going to kick ass," or "has kicked ass," even, but "IS currently in a state of anal destruction."
I take that back, let's stick to simple phrases like "kicks ass." I'm afraid anal destruction may give off the wrong vibe for what I'm going after here.
This may seem an odd revelation, especially if you don't agree that my life rocks. Even if you do, it might seem like such a fact should be especially obvious to the one living said life. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. I squander most of this kick ass time wondering whether it is in fact kicking.
First, that *really* has got to stop.
Second, this is probably something you all should be looking into. Does your life kick ass? Right now? Not in the optimistic "Oh, yeah, my life is sweet." kind of way. I mean, does your life inspire you? Do you feel a spontaneous urge to thank yourself for being so kind as to live such a cool life?
If not, before you decide to start fixing things, maybe you should look just a little harder. Maybe you -should already be- thanking yourself.
Maybe your life rocks. Maybe it even fucking rolls.

Jennifer, I was never one to hoard pictures, but I'd like to personally thank you for keeping all of the ones of me somewhere. It's nice to look back at all those memories and think "Damn! I've had a lot of fun!"
