Challenge

I defy the three people who read this blog to find a cooler drifting video.  This dude is kicking ass in a freaking wagon!

Dont know

This guy Kenna makes some real good music

This video is a little crazy but interesting none the less and the music is redic!

A weight has been lifted

Something that I have been really trying to focus on is that no action or event is good or bad.  It becomes good or bad after I decide which way I want it to be.  After being in a powerless state of mind it is really exciting to know that there is one thing I have some control over, my actions and my reactions to other peoples actions.

Example: Somebody does something that frustrates you.  Perfect example right?  This happens to me daily.  Rather than saying to myself “ahhh!!! that person is so frustrating! I wish they wouldn’t do that.  Whats wrong with them?” (old way)  I am now trying to say “Wow thats frustrating!  Why does that frustrate me?  How can I not be frustrated by that next time?”  By all means this is a slow transformation for me, but we are talking baby steps here.  It sounds so cliché even to type but YOU CANT CHANGE PEOPLE.  They only change if they want to so why waste precious energy worrying and trying to do something that can’t be done?  At least now I can focus my energy and habit to dissect a problem in a healthier way, on myself.

No contact

No form of contact on my birthday.  I guess you really don’t want anything to do with me.  With more time comes more clarity.

Friends that aren’t here

Occasionally I like to scroll through my whole phone book and call people I haven’t talked to in too long and delete people I will never hear from again.  I did this last week and ran into a problem I have never encountered before.  A couple friends have passed away.  It was a little spooky looking at their names mixed in with everybody else.  Can you delete those names?  I didn’t.  What do you do with them?

The power of smell

Is crazy!!!  Last night I was hangin out with some buddies watching the national championship game and a girl sat down near us.  She was wearing the same perfume that my first girlfriend wore.  All of a sudden I was 16 again.  The feeling was instantaneous, from watching the game and getting a wiff to overcome with all the feelings and memories of the moment.

music that keeps playing

in my head

developing a “you me” language

Gonna say this might be the most important thing for relationships.  This is even bigger than communication because without your own specific “you me” language you can communicate the crap out of each other but your not fully understanding the other.
