I am an enigma. A perfect right hand middle man living safely supported on the edge. Complicatedly simple or simply complicated, that's for you to decide. I lose the games I play & win the ones I don't. I'm not here to play games. I'm here, there, everywhere. Often I like to feel as if I'm the world. Other times I want to melt into the scenery. I see myself as a familiar stranger standing along the street as life speeds by. I like strangers & love my friends. I laugh when people fall but offer a helping hand. I hate people but love working with the public. The Constitution is wrong, all men are not created equal; they should be. I believe that not everyone has the same opportunities; it's what you do with the ones that lay before you that determine who you become. I like to walk. Running is too fast; but some roses are meant to be seen & not smelled. Time is an illusion created by man. I’ll create it for those who are willing to do the same. Your birthday is important to me & hope mine is to you. I tend to give more than I receive. Respect & appreciation are key. Conversation is a gold mine; knowledge is wealth & power. My intelligence is my most prized possession, don't insult it.

5 days and counting

"Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must first be overcome." - Samuel Johnson


So here it is, 5 days before my departure. It's starting to really hit me. As Tuesday quickly approaches I'm beginning to feel it -- the pressure, anxiety, nervousness, and fear. The excitement I once was feeling is fading. My plan is becoming to immerse myself into as much work and activity as I possibly can for a few weeks in order to not allow myself to notice where I am and what I'm doing. This will allow myself to become adapted to my new environment and surroundings more easily. This really is a great opportunity that just can't pass up. Besides, it's way too late to back out now. =P I still really want to go -- just nervousness, that's all.

Today I had gotten up later than usual but the extra sleep felt good. I quickly grabbed a shower and got dressed in order to go to the bank. After my shower mom asked if I wanted her to just stop by my bank while she was in Clarion. Sure, why not... saves me time and gas (gas=money). =P So then I was at a loss on what to do. I couldn't very well finish cleaning my room. I had already gotten a shower and was dressed in going out into public attire, so I made sure that I had everything on the "bring with you" list that Disney provided me. I have most of the stuff. I must remember to buy a new digital camera this weekend -- or else film for the old fashioned one and just buy a new one when I get to Orlando. Oh, the decisions. So tomorrow I plan on calling Shawna to see if she'd be able to and would like to hang out. We need to get some quality time in. I also need to get some time in with Kacy. I'm hoping to hang with her on Saturday. We'll see... I'll ask her tomorrow. ~Anyway~ Nothing big happened today. My day was slow and uneventful.

What happened to spring? Have we lost two of the four seasons? I don't recall having much of a fall and now we were screwed over on our spring. What happened to our "happy medium" seasons to allow our bodies and minds a gradual adaptation to the two more harsh seasons?!? Mother Nature is out to get us -- I know it. =P

Well - again I thought I would share with you my horoscope for the day.

There's a lot churning inside you, just waiting to come out. Express yourself powerfully in the medium that works best for you. Maybe there's finally time to put your ideas in writing. Maybe the spoken word provides that immediate connection between the thing itself and the name of the thing. When you raise your voice, the tone is as effective as the message. People are moved by the strength of your emotions. There are forces in play that might surprise even you. Clearly you're the conduit for something bigger. Awareness of your awesome potential redefines you.
