grabbing life by the underpants

a little irony for you: people in the gym parking lot driving in circles looking for the closet spot to the entrance. yeah?

anyyywayyy,

as humans, we're programmed to want more.

...more money.
...more friends.
...more excitement.
...more...everything.

[frustration]

i've seen all levels of it.

everyone from....my violin teacher from the 7th grade who, after hearing my sub-par scales for the week, broke his pencil [twice] writing so vigorously in my notebook...to the girls that completely broke down in the middle of hollywood and gave us a performance that would make springer proud.

maybe expectations in life are set too high. maybe trust was given away to someone who ended up butchering your back. maybe a job posting for a corporate american superstar ended up being a code word for a fsi sample digger in the back mailroom. there's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars, but we need to be realistic and be cognizant of the fact that life isn't science. if it were, bill nye would rule the world...or tom cruise. my vote undoubtedly goes to billy boy. i digress...
there's no pattern to how life works & we can't predict it. but that's ok. instead of fighting it, leave it alone & enjoy the ride. take the day as it comes & keep your eyes open for the little surprises that just might change your life forever.

i'm slowly starting to realize that the most extraordinary things in life come unexpectedly. restoration of my faith. i want to live knowing that i don't deserve any of this. life is beautiful. God is beautiful.
