I am a car in need of an oil change and tire rotation...
A lil Run-down
Last night as I tried my 2.5 mile run for the fourth time in 8 days...this time, w/ good ol' Glenn...and we started talking about feeling run down. He said he needed some new wheels...I think he was speaking figuratively, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was speaking in the literal as well...he he he. If there's anything that sucks about getting older...it's the inevitable wearing down of one's body. Yes, you can stay in shape and yes, you can even get stronger as you get older...but that strength peaks and naturally, our bones and bodies slowly wear down...I'm not trying to get all depressive and say that we're withering like flowers...just that as we gain wisdom, our bodies get a lil weaker...but that's okay. I'd take wisdom over strength any day...strength of the mind to me has more worth...
The Glass-half empty or half full?
The Glass is half empty. You already know you're day is gonna turn out not-so-dandy when the first thought that runs through your head as you open your eyes is..."OH SHIT!!!!" I began the day waking up freaking out because I forgot to turn in the rent last night...AND I woke up an hour later than I had intended...things going not so well on this lil planet so far. So I quickly get ready and gather my things...skip breakfast...and run downstairs and throw my stuff into my car...get my checkbook and run into the leasing office. There I run into Chris Heinrich(spelling?), the current manager of San Remo Villa and think to myself...here comes a lecture and a $50 fine for being late. First thing he says? "Good Morning!" with a smile...and I think, hey...cool. So I tell him I forgot to turn in the rent check last night and he responds, "Let's pretend I wasn't here this morning and the rent was already here when I got in..." He let me off...THANK GOODNESS!!! The glass...is half full, no..it's totally full...so now, things have been good so far... The glass is never half empty...because there's always someone that'll come and refill it for you...
To be or not to be...ballzy that is...
So supposedly I'm not ballzy...and that's quoting a friend...HA...ha...was she right? Do I lack the necessary..."genetalia" to seize the moment? No...I've done a lot of things in my life that have required "being ballzy." I have stepped way out of my comfort zone and done things I think the majority of people I know would not even dare to do...And recent events would also bring about the conclusion that I am infact "ballzy." Maybe I'm just not being "ballzy" enough. Perhaps that's it...it's the level of "ballzy-ness" that needs improvement. I need to reach the next level...ha ha ha So, today's resolution? "Grab a spoon" wherever and whenever the moment arises...
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
