I've been pretty damned motivated lately, in multiple ways. It's definitely a good thing. Some of that motivation has to do with some changes I want to make in my life. Not huge changes, but definitely important-to-my-life changes. More like mindset changes, I guess ( Read more... )

I'm reading John Grisham's A Time to Kill. Almost done with it, in fact. It's a really engaging book, I'm definitely enjoying it ( Read more... )

I'm amused to find that I still follow PostSecret on here. I don't read it anymore, haven't done so literally for years. Seeing is on the friends feed, though, reminds me of when I commented to Steve about seeing a postcard that talked about leaving Arizona to move to Seattle (or was it vice versa?), and Steve got so fucking offended because he ( Read more... )

So let's say when you die, you are in love with someone who is completely wrong for you. In the afterlife, do you finally realize how wrong the relationship was? Or do you stay in love with them?

Things I am grateful for:

- my dad

- the fact that I have a job

- the beautiful weather we are experiencing in this moment

- my health

- my athletic ability

Here's a great Rock, Paper, Cynic.

I was lying in bed after my alarm clock went off this morning, and found myself contemplating the differences between being in school and being a full-fledged member of the workforce.  Sometimes I miss being a student.  In some ways, I feel like I was more motivated at it, but that's not necessarily true.  There ( Read more... )

It seems that the burnout that I've been expecting lately is beginning to set in.  The good thing (if you can call it a good thing) about having experienced massive burnout in the past is that I have become quite good at recognizing the symptoms, which in turn has made me better at reacting to them before they worsen.  I am not on the road to ( Read more... )

Dear reader,

A little known fact about my blog: if you want to know what I'm really feeling, what my mood is, look at the subject line of each post.  I've been doing it this way for the last 3 or 4 years.  90% of the time, the subject is a line from a song.  And probably 90% of those song lines are a reflection of what is really going on in my mind ( Read more... )
