I am an apt for strange spellings...
Two b-days to celebrate today...big HAPPY B-DAYS to:
AARON and CECILE, who both turn 28 years old today...congratulations on getting through another year! ha ha ha!
It's a wonder to see people always pushing themselves to the brink of exhaustion. I used to do it back in the day...take on too much, or try to do too much, or carry too big a load, whatever you wanna call it, I tried to do it. And then i realized that it just wasn't good for me, mentally and physically. Sometimes I wouldn't get tired at all because of the adrenaline rush of certain things, such as SPOP or whatnot...but then, inevitably, at the end of it, I would totally crash. Sometimes I would get stressed out, which we all know, can't be too good, esp since I'm already one of those constantly tense people. Since then, I've learned to just try to take it easier...baby steps of course...I think I still fall into that tendency every so often. It's no good if you can play a basketball game full out for the first 3 qts and completely poop out for the fourth...
I ran for the first time since the marathon last night...wait, actually, that's a lie, I ran for the SECOND time since the marathon last night, before my game. The first time was when I had the day off and I dropped my parents car at the shop, and ran home, but that was like 1.2 miles or something. Last night, I ran 2 1/2 miles...and it wasn't too bad. Granted, I think I ran a little bit too close to my basketball game cuz I had like no legs during the game...I even airballed a free throw, ha ha ha, but it was a good run nonetheless(man, talk about your run-on sentences). Anyway, It was nice to run again. Listening to my ipod, collecting what little thoughts I had in my head and just pondering about the day i just had, reflecting about my life; all while running in circles on a track, he he he. It's time to start running the 3-5 milers again a few times a week...gotta start training for the mud run!!!
Self-less good deeds
I overheard two of my coworkers talking about tax stuff, and no, I was NOT eavesdropping, they were talking right behind me while I was conducting a test on my desk. Anyway, so they were talking about donations, and write-offs and stuff and here's the part that I heard:
coworker 1so when I was donating to my school and stuff, I called my accountant and they told me that I could only claim like 50% of what I donated. And I said, so what do I get out of that?
coworker 2What did he say?
coworker 1He said, "You're helping your school." And I was like, that's crap, I'm the one that needs $$$
coworker 2I know man, that's whack
I think coworker 2 really did agree with this view...I just thought to myself, what an incredibly selfish act. Donating to the school and expecting to get something out of it. I remember in one episode of Friends, when Pheobe makes this bet with Joey, becuase Joey says there's no such thing a self-less good deed, because in the end you're always trying to get something out of it...and this instance definitey exemplifies just how selfless good deeds can be...
