Hmmmm,

Well, long time no blog, I know. That's okay though, because I have been working on, well, work and I pretty much don't have a life anymore...lol. This is what work does to you.

Advise for the week: wait to get a job if you don't have to...babysitting counts....lol

Anyway,through out the summer, I have come to some conclusion that have helped clear some things up (now, that wasn't vague at all) and life is....err, was good. Now, I am once again, confused. Life is strange and I don't like it at the monent, but I can't say that it's dull and I am bored. I simply don't understand. And, to be honest, I really don't think I ever will understand. Which sucks.
Anyway, My life is full of work, free running, and, and confusion....more on that later...
Well, have a good day. And smile?
lol

Enjoy People

Hi,
Well, today, I was about to call one of my really good friends and tell him something, and as I considered the idea, I thought I could also blog about it too. So, this goes back to a conversation that I had with my dad yesterday. I was talking to my dad and we were talking about a relative of ours and (for the sake of this post, I will refer to this person as Bob) my dad commented on how Bob should join this program because it is a super program and Bob would learn things from it. But as we continued to talk, Dad said that Bob was too intense and he wouldn't be able to handle the problems. Then, my dad said something that really was amazing. He said that Bob just needed to enjoy people. (now, go back and reread it, and think about it) My first thought was yes, of course Bob needs to enjoy people. How could you not enjoy people? But the thought stuck with me. People have problems, and 98% of the time, we are completely consumed with them. We try and figure them out, solve them, try and live with them, and lose friends over them. Well, if you stop and think back to the last time you just had fun. You didn't worry about poeple and everything that goes alone with them, you just simply enjoyed them. Have fun, laugh, don't be stupid, enjoy the moment.
Now, where I come in. I haven't enjoyed people in a long time. And I really need to. I just need to relax and remember why I have people as friends.
The hard part (haven't you ever noticed that there is always a hard part to things?) is that if you don't like a person that you are hanging out with.
Solution: It takes lots of practice, but use self control and deal with it. I am the perfect example. I have over 800 issues with people and am reminded of it daily. So, I need to shut my mouth and pray through. To me, this is super, super hard and I need to work on it, almost every time I hang out the a group of people.
This is what I think, if I don't get along with someone completely, then I need to either not be around them, deal with it, or have a split personality and like them. This is why I need to pray through alot.
But, if you are just being picky and winny and don't like the person, then deal with it. Enjoy your friends, cherish moments, laugh, and be real.

NOTE: Just a note on the BE REAL, I will blog about that later in more detail.
