Woke up this morning feeling good. Feeling like everything has come to this precipice and now it's all kinda downhill from here, at least till December. I have come to certain conclusions.
I have more or less forsaken the job hunt.
I am going to invest my time and energy doing these things:
Spending time with God.
Helping others in need. Oddjobs, if you will. I'm helping a friend move out of his dorm tomorrow.
Mastering my various crafts.
Putting those crafts into use. (I may be starting a skateboard company when I get back to Washington. Already have some investors. Also, writing a comic. Ted thinks it's good enough to be published, and he's definitely a credible source. We're setting up recording equipment so I can start laying down some tracks and getting them flowing in the right directions. I need to do something with music. Making paintings and selling them. I need to stop hoarding them things. Designing t-shirts for my man Gerry. Couple other things.)
Reflecting upon myself and my character. "These are the years when a man changes into the man he's going to be for the rest of his life. Just be careful who you change into." --Ben Parker.
Appreciating life without STUFF. I seriously brought next to nothing down here with me. And I don't plan on adding onto my belongings any time soon. I need to simplify my life and stop cluttering it with junk that I don't need. And not having money helps me decide what is really necessary to spend money on.
Getting back in shape. Might be getting signed back onto the Y down the street. Finally get the 6 pack back.
So hopefully by the time you see me again, you'll see a more complete man before you.
And not the jumbled mess that I've been the past few months.
But I've realized how beautiful and wonderful life is. Despite the shortcomings.
Sunshine ain't so good without the rain, so to speak.
