This past Saturday was a momentous day for myself and for Logan. We went to Six Flags Over Georgia with my sister-in-law and my two nephews. It was Logan’s first time there, and it was my first time since I was in college. Man, did we have a great time! I made Logan ride the worst coaster there (as in, “I freakin’ hate this roller coaster. It’s too rough and no fun and just sucks!”) first, so she would know what good things to expect from the others. I was so proud! She rode everything we wanted to ride and would’ve ridden more had we had more time. The biggest drawback (other than tired legs from walking up and down hills all day) was the fact that we had to stand in a lot of loooooooong lines to ride. Going to Universal and having “Fast Pass” has me so spoiled, I’m just not used to that!
The best ride, by far, was Superman. Dude, it was freakin’ AWESOME! Too damn short but awesome just the same. We didn’t get to ride Batman because Logan and I didn’t want to stand in another line for 2 hours. Next time, we’ll be sure to get there when the park opens and hit Gotham City FIRST rather than making our way around the other side.
I can’t wait to go back again!

I hate being moody. I despise being in a good mood one minute and just pissy as hell the next. I despise the fact that there seems to be little to nothing I can do about it, too.
I know it’s a joy for everyone around me, as well.

This antibiotic is killing me! Almost the whole of the inside of my mouth is sore/raw, I’m having other significant and quite unpleasant problems, I’m not sleeping worth a shit, and I’m still feeling all feverish-like. *whines* I don’t even get to rest tomorrow, either. Logan has a soccer tournament!
Oh well, AFTERWARDS. I’ll go home and die. Or something.

I am SO disgruntled with my job here lately. It makes coming to work a truly miserable experience sometimes. My boss is okay, the people are okay, but my work fucking sucks, and I’ve had it… big time. I mean, I have entertained “walking out” thoughts! Now, that’s a big deal for me. Granted, it was entertained for a whole one second or so, but still… that’s a lot for me. Don’t get me wrong; we have a good time up here a lot, but it’s just not enough for me anymore.
I really do wonder sometimes if the life I think I want would be one that would keep me happy. Living in a small cottage somewhere in the country in Europe with good company, food, and drink. Maybe a bit of a vegetable garden and some animals. Worrying only about day-to-day life and the people I love and care about…
I just wonder.

Sometimes I hate the fact that I don’t have a certain number of “personal” days and “sick” days where I work. I mean, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that I can pretty much get time off when I want it; I just have to ask. The disadvantage is, I usually feel it necessary to have/give a good reason. I would love to be able to walk into my boss’s office today and say, “I’m taking a personal day on Wednesday,” without having to offer any further explanation. Unfortunately, I cannot do that. I want off Wednesday, but I don’t want to tell him why, and I don’t want to lie about it, either. So…. *SIGH*
It’s MONDAY! I had a good weekend.

How do you reconcile two such differing parts of your base personality? These two things really cannot exist simultaneously. One attitude has to overpower the other at any given time. This is me. It makes my life maddening. One week, one way. The next week, another way. Both have their merits. It’s so hard for me to grasp the concept that maybe I don’t HAVE to choose one or the other. Accept the duality and learn to live with it.

I run my mouth too much about things I really just need to keep to myself. I don’t know why I insist on being that way; it only seems to make my life more difficult!
Anyway, I had a wonderful day yesterday. I’m hoping today will be as good.

Seems like everyone’s so busy these days, I don’t get to talk to folks online as much as I used to! *sniff sniff* Either that or don’t nobody love me no more.

“fare thee well my bright star
i watched your taillights blaze into nothingness
but you were long gone before i ever got to you
before you blazed past this address
and now i think of having loved and having lost
you never know what it’s like to never love
who can say what’s better and my heart’s become the cost
a mere token of a brighter jewel sent from above
fare thee well my bright star
the vanity of youth the color of your eyes
maybe if i’d fanned the blazing fire of your day to day
or if i’d been older i’d been wise
too thick the heat of those long summer evenings
for a cool evening i began to yearn
but you could only feed upon the things which feed a fire
waiting to see if i would burn
fare thee well my bright star
it was a brief brilliant miracle dive
that which i looked up to and i clung to for dear life
had to burn itself up just to make itself alive
i caught you then in your moment of glory
your last dramatic scene against a night sky stage
with a memory so clear it’s as if you’re still before me
my once in a lifetime star of an age
so fare thee well my bright star
last night the tongues of fire circled me around
this strange season of pain will come to pass
when the heating hands of autumn cool me down”

Sometimes I wonder why humans were given the gift/curse of “higher thinking.” It seems it often does more damage than good by making our lives torturous rather than peaceful.
What is life for us? Should we live for today because we could die any moment? Should we plan for the future and try to amass as much financial security for us and our families as possible? IS there a satisfactory medium between the two? If there is, by God, I have yet to find it. This tortures me. Should moments of happiness be enough to sustain me throughout my life? Does it mean I’m horrible if I want to be financially secure and stable? Shouldn’t I just be satisfied that I have a decent job, a roof over my head for myself and my daughter, food to eat, and friends and a family who love me?
What’s more important? Trouble is, I can’t seem to decide this for myself. Is it a wholly American thing, this drive to be “successful?” I’ve heard people say Americans are more prone to this behavior than other countries/cultures. I see evidence of that, but I also see others rapidly following suit.
Someone very dear to me stressed the point that he doesn’t worry about money. Well, good for you! I can’t say the same. I don’t want to live my life day-to-day, not knowing if I’ll have money for groceries next week or money to pay my electric bill next month.
I hate the fact that our world and society seems to revolve so much around money, but that’s the world we live in, and I don’t have the time nor the energy to try and lead/join a crusade to change it. Therefore, I see my best option is to adapt to it and try to make my life as good as possible AND enjoy the good moments as they come along.
But still… sometimes it frustrates and pisses me off. GRAR
