Take Your Own Advice

I should probably go in to the incredible field of "life coaching". I have trouble taking my own advice, but I am happy to hand it out. Yesterday, I set a timeline, or probably better phrased as a plan, for the next few weeks. This spawned out of my need to do something different, and get the hell out of Muscavegas, Iowa, the best part of it has been the lifting and me just making things happen as the come. Learning to slow down is difficult.

I guess it spawns from my inability to run fast. For that reason I tried to beat everybody else in other things. Overcompensating for my inability to beat them in foot race. While moving out here permanently may not be in the picture for a bit, and maybe never- who the hell knows, I have still learned a lot about myself and a sport I really love doing. Eventually, I would like to teach that sport to others. Even as I type this I have sent an email to my former advisor asking "how long will it take me to get a teacher accreditation. I'll never learn.

I am a weird dude. A-social at times, but I love being the center of attention. Impatient as hell, but I'll wait for things if I really need to. Smart, yet constantly confused. I have made some cool connections out here, but I find myself thinking about some of the connections I have blown in the past, by fading away and not keeping in touch. Maybe that is life, maybe it's me. Overall I think that if I have learned anything at all on this trip it's to trust myself. Things usually have a way of working out.

It's Friday, another week down. I got a bunch more Friday's in my future, but Stephen Colbert makes this one a bit better.
