Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
1. I am weak. - I’ve spent a lifetime running from problems, challenges and situations. It became a lifestyle. It left me hollow and with a path of hurt people in my wake. No more. Actually, not for some time but for certain no more. Sometimes doing the Right Thing hurts like hell, but it has to be done.
2. I like to write but I always hold back. The fear of failure and/or looking like a fool looms large in my thinking here. So, I work only ‘so hard’ and no more. I don’t send out my work much anymore because I dislike the rejections more than I like the acceptances. This is part of the reason I’ve decided to make this year my year of writing dangerously. Trying new things and welcoming failure as just another instructor pointing the way to success. (just wish I had decided to do this years ago in many areas of my life...)
3. I like peanut butter and cheese sammiches. American processed cheese food slices, complete with all sorts of lousy chemicals and who knows what. On wheat bread, hold the jelly. Oh, and hot dogs are pretty close to the perfect food.
4. I have large out-sized dreams yet lack the single-minded passion to chase them down. In this, I feel I am hardly unique.
5. Elaine is the first “real wife” I’ve had (I’ve been married twice before). However, this is due to the fact that this is first marriage where I feel I’ve been a “real husband” to my wife. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
6. I lead a pretty self-destructive lifestyle through much of my 20’s. Sometimes I wonder about the long term effects of some of those choices.
7. A cheeseburger makes me happy. Add bacon and horseradish and it’s divine.
8. Al Stewart is my favorite recording artist. Followed by The Beatles, Springsteen, Nicole Atkins, John Coltrane and and Beethoven. Okay, not really Beethoven...but would you believe Sinatra?
9. I have learned that Hate is hard work. I’ve also learned that not much of anyone is really worth the effort to hate. The payoff is minimal if anything and the energy expended only hurts the hater, not the object of the emotions. So, Say No to Hate and you’ll feel better. Especially if you have a cheeseburger.
