Hey kids,
I failed to note yesterday that my dad turned 75.
75.
Nothing is given and living a long life isnonenof those things not guaranteed.
So congrats to the old man, and going beyond average!

Day End
Hey kids,
24 hours does seem the perfect length for a day.
But it’s a little long to be up for all of it. My day started about 25 hours ago and I’m thinking it’s time to call it here.

Dragons or Princesses
Hey Kids,
I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis because they inspire me. I’m not much of a social butterfly, so these people are my friend replacements. On occasion, they are life altering, thought provoking, and/or sources for sage life advice.
Today I came across this little nugget:
All the dragons in our lives are perhaps princesses expecting us to be handsome and brave; all the terrifying things are perhaps nothing but helpless things waiting for us to help them.
Jean-Luc Godard Histoire(s) du Cinéma. Via the Neistat Brothers.
YouTube. Who would’ve thunk it?

This is Still Good… Oops.
Hey kids,
This laptop is fine, says I. I hoped it would last me a year. It did. Plus. I think I’ll use it longer. Why not? It’s running great.
Life says wait, throws laptop out of bag and onto sidewalk.
Glass screen is cracked throwing touch screen into wacky land.
I began looking for new replacement already.
Never express a fondness of working equipment or decide you can get by with it for a little bit longer.

Two Worlds Colliding
Hey Kids,
Not everything has to be one way or the other.
Not everything has to elicit a soul search followed by a decision.
Are you Red or Blue?
Sour or sweet?
Cat or dog?
Paper or plastic?
But I have bridged the great divide. The one believed to never be able to be linked.
I have done it.
I like Star Wars and Star Trek

Personal Irony
Hey Kids,
I’m my biggest critic.
I’m mean, brutal, and cruel. I’m unfair and unforgiving.
I swear at myself, call me names, and scold myself like a red headed step child.
I know when I fail and I find it unacceptable. I disgust myself.
Yet…
I have enormous self-confidence.
I always pull through.
Always.

Tired
Hey kids,
Monday nights are my free, tired night.
I don’t have to go to the overnight job, but it’s one of two days where I’ve pulled a double shift. At the time of this writing, I’ve been up a little over 25 hours.
My plan is always to be productive, but I find I’m ready to just go to bed.
I did make dinner. Pork chops and potatoes.
But I’m done now . I’ll be back up early tomorrow morning.
My eyes are drooping, so I’ll catch you then.

I am Me
Hey Kids,
It is not who we are and what we are doing.
It is who we want to become and what it is we wish to accomplish.
I am not as others have defined, but who I allow myself to become.
Not a gun or Atomo
My limitations are only those I allow to exist.
I am who I wish to be.
I am me on my own path.
Be you on your own journey.

Inspired
Hey kids,
Today I attended a presentation sponsored by a local writing group. The presenter is one whom I have followed and have heeded her advice and direction in the past; this would be the first time I would meet her in person.
The advice and learning were as valuable as ever but the biggest take away I left with this afternoon was this: others are doing it- do it too. Let’s go. 
My last blog was about breaking away. This is where it happens.
Let’s ride!

Long Days, Short Night
Hey kids,
It has been 26 hours since I woke from my 3 hour nap yesterday. It has been a long day.
I have a few of these days each week. Working two jobs has its price.
The days go by slowly and a week seems like two. But for an odd reason, the evenings at home pass like they move at 2x speed.
I wonder if it has to do with things I want to do vs. things I do not.
Or is it just being up in 20 hour increments.
