We are all a little weird and
Life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.

Begin- Take charge of your life by beginning something you’ve always wanted to do. If your goal seems overwhelming, start small.
Imagine- Your imagination has no boundaries, dreaming about something is the first step towards accomplishing it
Laugh- Laughter is a direct route to the soul. It broadens your perspective, keeps you healthy, and makes an unbearable situation easier to deal with.
Believe- Set your mind to predict success. Tell your self you WILL succeed at whatever you’re doing at the moment.
Seek- Allow yourself to grow by exposing your vulnerability and insecurity. Don’t live strictly inside your comfort zone – don’t always play it safe.
Play- We can always find something that needs to be done, and we forget how to have fun. Make a conscious effort to take time off – you’ll feel refreshed & able to think more clearly afterwards.
Trust- Being paralyzed by indecision is worse than making the wrong decision. You can’t grow if you don’t trust your inner voice.
Listen- Try listening carefully to the other person’s point of view first, without being preoccupied or distracted. You’ll really hear what is being said and the other person is more likely to pay attention to your views.
Create- creativity maintains the balance in our lives. The more we use our creativity, the more it develops.
Connect- Relationships are what pull us through the hard times, and make the good times meaningful. Take time to nurture the connection that uplift you.
Touch- Humans need touch to survive and thrive. Don’t forget to hug your loved ones. Pat your friends on the back, literally and figuratively.
Forgive- Forgiveness is life-giving because it puts you in charge. You become empowered.
Pray- Prayer is asking God to transform the situation and become the heart of your life. Take time each day to nurture this connection.
Hope- Hope is the knowledge that even in the worst of times we can triumph over hardship and sorrow and grow in spirit. Hope is what sustains humanity.
Choose- We can’t always choose our circumstances, but we can choose our attitudes towards them.
Appreciate- Admire the good in yourself and those around you.
Give- happiness involves giving freely to others and not necessarily wanting something in return.
Read- Reading removes boundaries
Write- Words are freedom. Words are power.
Release- Avoid doing something just because everyone thinks you should. Give yourself permission to relax.

I saw the skies—
When I looked overhead.
The vastness of blue,
Blinding brightness of the sun,
And a few floating clouds.
A passing shadow caught my eye…
I saw the skies,
The butterflies—
As the pair flurried about,
One yellow, the other blue
Both were seeking something…
The yellow finds a lone red petal,
Amidst a sea of green
The blue one took his time,
And eventually found you.
I don’t know what it was
But the blue butterfly lingered
For what seemed like forever
In the palm of your lovely hands.
That was the first time—
I saw the skies,
The butterflies,
And you.

Haven't posted here in a while. Haven't really had time. Time is flying past so fast I don't know where it's gone. The past 6 months have so meshed together I can barely tell the days apart. Can't slow it down even if I wanted to. Today things slowed down a little bit. Slowed down enough to make me reflect on what's important in life. That important thing would be life itself. Found out that my restaurant's delivery driver had ODed last night. Almost died. Spent the day at the hospital. I don't know his current status right now. The kid is a good kid. He's an honest kid, but he doesn't always make the right decisions. I've actually known him for about 13 years. We all used to play street football, street hockey, and eventually grew up to occasionally get drunk together. He got out of rehab earlier this year, and had tried to stay clean. We even worked out a few times when he first got out. He had stayed a few months clean.
I don't know how to feel about this. I just hope he can get help again and get himself clean for good. I'm also a bit sad for him. I don't know what I can do to help him. I suppose we all have addictions of some kind. Some impacts us more negatively than others. Some are apparently positive, and might even be considered positive. I don't know where I'm going with this... I just know that addiction is universal. It can start out as an obsession. It can take over your life. At its worst, it can take your life. But life is not always a downward spiral. Positive changes can be made. I just hope he comes out of this a better person.

Was on the road making a delivery last night when out of nowhere, a critter jumped out of the bushes from the median. The furry friend landed right in front of my car. I had no time to react. There were 2 loud thuds from underneath that I felt through my seat. I probably ended the critter's life right there, and felt a little sick to my stomach. It was either a dog or a raccoon. I thought it might be an omen of things to come later that night... and I was right...

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don't mind
if it's me you need to turn to
we'll get by,
it's the heart that really matters in the end
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Fuck this moodiness mood I'm in.
Fuck the fucking excuses.
Fuck the Ghosts living in my house.
You all can go fuck a tree.
Gonna lean back in my executive chair,
And smoke my imaginary cigar.
