2010

I would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy new year. I am excited for a new beginning, a chance to make more of myself and continue to learn and grow as an individual. A few things on my new year 'to do' list, also known as "resolutions" if you will...

1) Keep my head held high
2) Take more risks
3) Breath
4) Read more books
5) Drink less beer
6) Maintain a workout regimen
7) Write more snail mail
8) Enjoy life as a process without becoming overwhelmed with the 'big picture'
9) Find financial stability
10) Make more arts and fart and crafts
11) Make out more often then none

Those are the top eleven.

ENJOY! P-A-R-T-Y! AND BE SAFE!

to live will be a great adventure

An excerpt from a conversation I had with a good friend of mine. This is my response on life and how we should be living it.

When did we as adults become so hesitant to live our lives? I don't understand when the moment happened when subconscious became real and our intuitions were struck by acts of fear. What is there to fear? Everything that society/our minds tell us to be afraid of isn't real. There are no tangible reasons for fearing anything. Money? Money is a number, a stupid number. Consequences? What is consequence without risk? Risk? There is simply nothing to lose.

Life is about the process, the journey. If you can't find peace with yourself in the moment of things then why bother? "Things", "life" can change at any given moment and we as humans are not always conditioned to be flexible. I think the best ideology to live life is nothing short than to live it to the fullest. That of course can be and will be subjective to each individual. It is up to us to create our own definition of what "happiness" is. It won't be the same as everyone else, nor should it. I think we have lost sight of what is real and what really matters in life. The best part of everything is that we have full control over everything. We can determine our own destiny. What a great adventure that is.
