The Weekend

The weekend is coming to an end, and I've been busy. Party, party, party.
Need time for sleep. Need time to relax and read. I think my mind moves too fast to settle down and focus on what I want to do. I'm always longing to be hanging out and spending time with my pals. Read. I need to read. I'm feeling a pull somewhere inside, a desire to do something other than read. Good books sit on my shelf and stare at me. I find value in schedules, I might as well schedule "book time" with no music, no beer, no distractions...just a good solid book.
Books that are sitting on my shelf:
"The Bible"
"The virtue of shelfishness"
"Atlas Shrugged"
"The Art of Shaving"
...others too...
Bible could be a good one to pick up every now and then...and by "now and then" I mean every morning. Got some ideas about how to find time to read?

This Stays Between You and Me

I trust you, I know you won't say anything unless I tell you it's okay. I know this is kind of a surprise n' all...I'm sure you weren't expecting me to say this, but, I hope you understand. Actually, I know you understand, I mean, you've done this a thousand times and really...I wonder if you've ever second guessed yourself. I guess it could all get really interesting in the end, but I don't think I'm gonna stick around long enough to see what becomes of all this. We'll see...
...I'm heading out. Catch me on the PCH sometime.

The Opposite of Bad

building something from the ground up is never an easy task. building something from the ground up with a rough idea of what you want it to look like in the end doesn't get any easier. right now I am working with 5 people to build, design, establish a department. we know what it's going to look like in the end, but the process in getting it there is educational.

I work for a major software company and am assisting in the launch of a semi-new service we will be providing our customers. the detail involved is overwhelming, and at times frustrating. I really can't speak too much about it, I've only been in this position 5 days now. what I do know for a fact, is I will be travelling a ton. probably will head to Europe and Mexico too.

when I was "home", without a job, no money and no car, I almost didn't take this opportunity. I think I was looking at doing banking or something, maybe loans? I don't know, it was all very unclear. while I was kicking and screaming, talking smack to God, asking questions of why, I was never given an answer as to "why". God never answers questions of why until you decide the why doesn't really matter anymore. it's probably that way as a parent, you can answer the question of why to your child, but it will never satisfy because there is always another why question immediately after you answer. I think at one point I was an annoying child throwing a "why" out there too many times, and I never even heard the answer. right now, I think I might be in the right place for that answer to fully develop.

I don't even think the answers in the end will even apply to a "why" question. maybe more of a "how" question.
