So my coworkers (or cohorts) and I were talking about various subjects at work today. One statement that came up struck me as odd but very very funny, this is a comment that I gave to the group.
"You know the really messed up part about all of this? I am now divorced and you would think that means I am a free man!" I said thoughtfully. "However!" I gestured at Aaron who had his back turned to me. "Now I find someone else has filled those shoes at giving me a hard time about the things I do". Aaron starts to laugh right away knowing that I am talking about his wife Dee, even though he never actually saw me point at him. Don't misunderstand me, I mean no negative statements towards my ex-wife or Aaron's wife. I just find the whole idea just strange and very funny at the same time.
Here is the real deal though. I have always had this phrase floating in the back of my head for sometime now, no idea where I heard it, it just stuck.

"The greatest insult you can do to a person, is to expect absolutely nothing from them."

People who expect things from you are your friends and family who believe in you and truly want to see you do well. Which is why they will hassle you about things or not let something go just because you don't want to talk about it. That person is actually putting there friendship/relationship on the line to try and help you achieve those things that you want or need. Hold these people very close to you and view the comments in the best light that you can.

So here it is, my first attempt at a blog. My friend Sean told me about this place after we had been talking about a technique I used to help get over some problems that I been having lately. It would seem that I am not capable of funneling my emotions through physical workouts and such. However, writing does appear to help me get through some of the problems that I face day in and out.
A goal of this blog for me is so I can look back at this and find those points in life where, maybe I was happy. I just didn't bother to try and remember it.
Zombification!!!!!
It can happen to anyone, and it struck me hard. Out of nowhere I realized that I have had some really great moments in my life and I really never bothered to stop, look around and actually enjoy them. I have just been floating along this whole time, I am waking up from that now. It's time to actually pay attention to what is going on in my life or something that I see in the world around me. Then act upon it, one of these steps of action will be to place the details here.
Then I have a reference I can look back and say, "oh yeah, I really did have a good time that day, I should do that again".
