Just as I thought – There is a full moon tonight. Wicked. I can always feel it. I’m especially susceptible to it from May through October. Here we go! Also, I understand the oil dilemma the US faces today. Gas prices are through the roof and there is no sign of them coming down any time soon. I’m ok with it, I get it. BUT! What’s the fucking deal with razors? I went to Walgreens to pick up some new Mach3 razors, (I can’t do the Mach5 because that’s entirely way too many blades – overkill really – If you use a Mach5 – I judge you.), those little bastards are almost in the $15 range – for FIVE razors! What country do we need to invade to bring down the coast of those! That’s ridiculous… There should be a congressional subcommittee to investigate. Finally – I had a dentist appointment this AM 7:15 to be exact. It was rad. The 2 shots she put in my jaw have finally worn off – I can feel the left side of my face and my tongue again. Because I allowed my wisdom teeth to come in, I had a slight fracture on one of my molars that needed to be fixed – and when I say fixed, I mean root canal and crown. Suckie. But – I’m all good now, I came straight to work and I can’t even feel it….. yay. FYI – I have my new phone – so you can TEXT and not leave me Voice Mails again….

I always seem to be climbing. In one way or another….
Very seldom do I find myself just strolling along. Who am I kidding – I never find myself just chillin. I remember a few years back I read a biography on good ol’ Theo Roosevelt, he said something that I immediately wrote in my book of quotes – I remind myself often:

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

I have failed miserably and I promise I will most likely fail again. But with very little hesitation, I’ve learned to jump up and keep on swinging. I may be foolish, but life has proven many things to me: There is no time to sit around and not fight for what your heart desires. My one wish in this life is to never live in the gray – I pray that I will always have the will and heart to fight for the glorious triumphs this world has to offer. Perhaps this is my curse. But, we get one chance at this life and I hope to keep it passion filled, whether I win or fail.

Full circle – As I conclude, YOURS TO KEEP just came on… Gotta love those Teddy Bears – the irony is killing me..
