4 days

Ahhh! It’s so cold out :(. It was supposed to be 73 today. That changed pretty quick. Now I do not want to go hiking or running. I’m such a wuss. I guess I’ll stay in with a fitness dvd instead. Trying to lose another seven pounds by the end of this month. Just in time for Paris! Which reminds me, I need to start a countdown for that…
“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”

“I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.”
I think I should re-read this. It got me through so much in 2006.
What’s the best way to understand all of the events that happen in your life? Were they predetermined? Were they avoidable? Were they an act of malice or carelessness thrust upon you by some ultimate being? Surely not the later. If we think about the events that have happened, the cycles that have either changed our lives or made it so mundane that we’ve thought about disappearing in to a reality perfected by Rowling and Russell, do we also remember how we’ve chosen to reflect upon their outcomes? Sometimes I am not sure how to reflect upon or understand the events that have happened in my life. They either seem very tricky to navigate or depressing to think about. Of course there are happy ones, but let’s be honest, it’s the rags we will always remember before the riches. What do to here? I am not sure. I only hope that one day I can abandon this apathy and make sense of what’s happening around me.
