you won't hear me surrender, you won't hear me confess, cause you've left me with nothing, but I have worked with less.

Oy vey. In so many ways.

I'm in a really strange place right now. It's very uncertain. I feel like I'm in one of those video games where you have to cross the flow of lava underneath you on stones that rock and buckle, and you have to hop and flail your arms to keep yourself upright. I'm a little like Frogger, I guess. I have no idea where I'm going, and I have no idea how long this stupid log rolling life pattern is going to go on for.

But there are always rays of sunshine in the darkness, my friends. Not to be self-lauding, but one thing I like about myself is my ability to set time aside for me, for things that make me happy. I may not have very much time (or theoretically, given my schedule, I shouldn't) but I always make time to spend an hour a day just watching TV, doing nothing. Or cooking something that I've been craving. Dancing it out. Going for a walk.



When I think about life, these days, it is, as usual, about time. But it's sort of different. It's more about the investment of time.

We're all doing time. Whether for an education, for our crimes, for forgiveness, we're all putting in time for something. A lot of life seems to be about waiting. Tick, tock, tick, tock. It's all about the next good thing that's coming up, the next concert, the next party, the next stage of life, moving out, moving in, moving on, moving up. And by the end of it all, you're just waiting for the next journey you take, if you believe in that sort of thing.

But sometimes, you have to forget about where you're going for a minute, and just enjoy where you are.
