The craziness has all begun. With the wedding (that reads not my wedding) less than 48 hours to go emotions are running high. The bride is very hyper with much energy, not sure if it's nervous or not, to spend on anything. She suggested running around the block naked. We had to talk her out of it.



Rent-a-Tux's are picked up and 'tailored' to fit. I use the word tailered loosely because I am positive I could gain a hundred pounds over night and still fit into my tux, all I would have to do is change a couple of tabs in the pants. These things are super crazy adjustable, but still better than a bride's maid dress.

At the end of the day I sell computers. How glamourous is that? It's nice to say though, puts everything in its place. I don't know why people get so emotionally involved in their jobs. It's understandable if you work in some lab and are curing some disease and with one slip they could wipe out the population. They have a lot to invest, but think of the joy felt when they achieve a goal.



Am I really going to feel that much better about myself if my company sells more or less. Not at all. It's hard to get emotionally invested. This must be why companies make you financially invested with their stock options and performance bonuses. Without those, who would care. Except the few of who feel satisfied by a job well done.

Verbal Diarrhea...



There seems to be so much going on and somehow that's my excuse for not posting something. I had a conversation last night that we should all take the time to reflect on what we are thankful for. There are a lot things to be thankful for everyday, they just get over shadowed by the things that are bugging us. Keeping them out of view. It would be nice to take the time to talk about these thing, but it won't happen. No one really wants to read about someone's perfect life. They prefer to have a little if not loads of conflict, but then again there are other people who no matter how good they have it in life think that there's sucks and they are in some sort of personal Hell. It's time for all of to wake up and shake up. Familiarity breeds contempt and I feel a lot of that these days. I am glad that I am in the middle of my shake down, new people in my life, a new position at work and a new place to call my own. These things are all happening, and it's up to me to accept them with some grace and excitement. Time to let some new in, and if the old ain't working let's get rid of it.



I think the first time I heard Jack Johnson I wasn't a big fan. It all sounded the same. Similar to how all asian people may look the same to white people, and all white people may look the same to asians. You just need to take the time to get past the similarity to notice the nuances.
