Oh The Tangled Web We Weave... When I Try To Knit
Can you believe I survived the first day? Don't do the happy dance just yet. I've got 30 some odd years to go until... retirement. Man, is that a whole lotta years. My friend asked me what I would do then. Anything I wanted! Take an art class, maybe. Do they teach how to draw stick figures? I see so many elderly people who just give up. We spend so many years of our lives trying to get out of work that when it happens, we are left with the question, "Now what?" The hardest part of life is the 'now what' question. When we have to squander away every free moment as if it were the last Ding Dong, our mind races with what we could be doing with those precious moments. Sometimes we even 'waste time' thinking of what to do. Nothing is ever good enough, either. How many times have you made the statement, "There's other things I could be doing right now"? More productive, more exciting, more pay, more fulfilling... How? What diminishes your moment? Is it really not all it's cracked up to be? Or are you creating expectations over the expectations that have already been reached? Do you have any regrets? Look at your life... Not your job, your salary... But who you are. What do you do with your time after the whistle blows and it's time to go home?
I was sitting here writing this update when a friend just walked in and told me our friend had died last night [Monday]. The ironic part is that she fits the description of my rant to a "T". To say she was a workaholic is an understatement. The woman worked twelve to fourteen hour days non stop. I'm relieved to know she was asleep when she died. Otherwise she would have spent the last remaining moments fretting over who would take over her duties. Every moment I am not at work is a moment I cherish. This is the time I can do whatever I want. Even if it's sitting and sipping a cup of coffee, enjoying the day. The time I spend with the people I care about is special to me, also. Whether it's deep in discussion, or idle chit chat. I don't give a shit what you're doing, just do it like it's the last time. If your boss wants to know why you're leaving early... tell them I said so. They may fire your ass... then again, they may think you have a brain tumor and Let you live the easy life for a good two to three months before firing your ass.

Chomp! Model's revenge leaves rapist reeling. That's the title, I swear.... Man wanted for armed robbery arrested at prison while visiting his accomplice. Duh.... ApocalypsePooh. I wonder how Martin Sheen feels about being portrayed by Pooh. Heh.... Small trembler felt in Beaver. Is this the perfect headline, or what? Heh... Teacher has sex with 3 pupils. Playtime's over. This chick just needs to be slapped. Or transferred to Sex Ed... Neighbor reports foul odor at O.J. Simpson's ex-girlfriend's home, calls police. Did anyone NOT expect this? Tit flasher sues "Girls Gone Wild" producer for invasion of privacy. She flashes her tits for all to see, then sues when everybody sees. Dipshit.... Bicyclist gets pissed at being hit by SUV, driver shoots him for arguing. That's what I call a bad day...
