Trying to find balance

I suppose it's hard being human sometimes. We all go through periods of doubt and feeling alone, whether things are going well or going poorly. Some handle it better than others, simply because they are wired that way. Then there are those that sink so deep that the only way they feel they can get out is addiction or suicide. I don't fall prey to either of the latter, but I do sometimes feel alone and doubtful. In those times I guess I just remind myself of all the positive things there are in my life. The old mantra rings true, "count your blessings." But the overwhelming sense of failure sometimes continues to lurk in the recesses of my brain. I suppose the only way to overcome it is to get up and get busy doing something productive. You can't win, if you don't play. The human animal is an interesting one. We all want to be accepted in one way or another and we all go about it in different ways. I suppose the bottom line is you won't find acceptance, true acceptance, until you are willing to accept yourself for the imperfect being that you are. Additionally we have to be willing to keep working toward something. Whatever it is. Give yourself purpose and if you ultimately fail, pick yourself up and try again. Some people are born great, others have it thrust upon them, and there is a third category of those who never stopped working until they found their greatness. We are all great in some way... find your greatness.

My thought for the day is... There is a fine line between confidence and conceited just as there is between humility and insecurity.

So much for blogging goals

I started with a mission of blogging something everyday... it lasted two. What can I say, I don't have that much to say. I suppose I should just blog my random thoughts in the hopes the I inspire someone, or myself. I also guess I'm not so narcissistic to think that what I have to say is all that important. Maybe that is where I will inspire myself, but not in a bad and selfish way, rather in a thought provoking sense.

So hear is my thought for today.... Hard work is not a guarantee of attaining any measure of success, but I guarantee success won't be attained without some measure of hard work.

Tigers "Press Confrence"

To me... it should be this simple... I don't know why he should have to apologize to anyone but his wife. If this is the life he wants to lead... get a divorce and do your thing. I think his press release should have gone something like this... He should have entered in a fur hat and coat, diamond encrusted shoes and a cane and said "That's right! I put the dick in addicted! See you at the Masters bitches!!!!!!" Then throw the mic to the ground with a squeal of feedback and strut out grabbing his package whilst one of his flunkies makes it rain behind him.

do something

"I'm going to start blogging daily." He tells himself, in an earnest attempt to jump start some creative impulse in writing or, at the very least, use a keyboard. It starts off well, day one.... a blog about writing a blog everyday, all be it a short one. What will day two hold? Let's see tomorrow.

The turnaround

I am still waiting for this mythical turnaround that all the economic pundits insist is happening. I am behind on every bill I am responsible for and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight for me. At least my home was not flood damaged. I suppose there is a silver lining to every cloud.

So I suck at blogging

I guess I don't have enough to say, or I am not so self important that I think everyone wants to read what it is I have to say. In either case, I think I need to resume writing my blog as a healthy habit of writing/venting/creating. So I will go back to it on a weekly, if not daily basis.

Right now my eye of attention is focused squarely on the start of football season. I am so jazzed about it. I am on NFL.com looking at highlight packages just salivating for the ref to blow his whistle and signify the start of fresh new competition. Be it college or pro, I am excited beyond belief for any pigskin to begin in earnest. I am so reved up that even the presason is going to be of interest to me, more than it has in any year previous.

The other significant reason for my longing of football season is fall. I love autumn. The changing of the leaves, cooler temps, major holidays. It is by far my favorite time of year. The fact that it conjuncts with football is all the more special. So here's to fall, football, and me starting my blog back. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Since September huh? Now that's dedication.

see the heading.
