emiT Yourself

You know...I think it's telling that every time I blog now I need music. Most of the time it's some rendition of J. Legend, or A. Hamilton, or Kem, or I. Arie.....right now I begin today's release with John Legend's "Show Me".

It's Tuesday and I'm feeling good about myself. More so physically than anything. I've been diligent in working out for the past week or so. I'm trying to get into a routine of jogging two and a half miles in the morning, followed by an afternoon workout. On some occasions an evening jog helps to end the day; but not today...I just feel like writing (see this previous post to fully understand).

Last night I had the most interesting conversation with someone that I've had in years. Not since my middle school crush and I used to run up our parents phone bill making long distance phone calls to one another, have I "not" wanted to get off the phone with a person....ever.....scary, I know..scared the heck out of me too. Yes I'm talking about Time. She's been a really good friend lately. We talk endlessly, and for whatever reason, it doesn't bother me. I know I know, it will at some point..and that's probably an accurate statement....but I honestly feel that right now that 'some point" is something that both she and I can work to get past. What's odd, is that I have to be real with myself and say that as much as I like conversing with Time, the idea of tomorrow is becoming less and less meaningful. Don't get me wrong, I like thinking about the what if's with her, but as she continues to try to drive home...tomorrow isn't promised; nor do we fully know what tomorrow will bring. So I'm learning, day by day, to accept today, and to quit worrying about Wednesday (so to speak).

Ok, off the I-like-Time soapbox....I don't do mushy.....I am Man, lol!

So I'm moving!!! Well not really a big move, just back to the other side of the water. T-minus two weeks until I leave the nice loft downtown. While I love this location, with a grocery store and a ton of restaurants and nights spots within 2-3 mins of the front door, I don't mind giving that up for the cost savings.

Speaking of moving.....I'm getting a roommate! Yep...a roommate. Haven't had one of those since 2005....remember all those posts about having a roommate who had issues with keeping a clean house.. But this time I think it'll be different....I think I finally found someone who is cool with keeping things clean and doesn't mind cleaning up after themselves, lol. I guess it'll be cool though..to have someone to kick it with from time to time. Someone to bounce ideas off when things come up. I think overall this will be a good move...only Time will tell.

Let's see, what else is going on in my life these days? Softball on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Both teams seem to be pretty good. The co-ed team might just win it all this year. What else...ohhh I have all intentions on buying a piano/keyboard once I get settled into the new place. I've been wanting one for years; and now I can afford it, so why not. I've always wanted to learn how to play, so that if God blesses me with a family, I can play during the holidays...I know I know....mushy. What else....ummm...work is good...really good. I feel like I'm really growing at what I'm doing now, and getting a ton of recognition for it. All while I'm learning a ton of new things....new software...new methods of massaging numbers. Like I said the other day...when you get to the point where all you see is the woman in the red dress, or the kids playing in the park, you can make a mound out of a mole hill. I would honestly have to say that work is the most stable thing right now, less my relationship with God. He's the man, lol. Keeps me....provides for me..answers my prayers (whether I want the answer He gives or not, lol).

And on that note, I digress...well at least for a few hours. Game 1 comes on tonight..Lakers v. Nuggets!! Go Nuggets!!

Life does have sunny days,
