You fired the gun.
I smelled the shots and counted the holes.
We examined the evidence under dim lights.
Trying to see.
You never write anything down on your notepad.

Thought of the Day
When it's raining and windy out, no umbrella is going to protect you from sideways-rain. Put that shit down so you don't poke out more eyeballs.

Things I've Learned
Sometimes a hug is better than a 'how are you doing, is everything okay?'
And on that note, sometimes silence is golden.
Always finish what you've started.
Talking it out > going to sleep angry.
When you're old and grey, you won't remember the nights you got a really awesome sleep. Go out and enjoy life.
Fish are the most boring pet to own.
Everything living, dies. This is independent of the care you provide.
Print out pictures. Having something tangible to show others is a lot more intimate than clicking through photos on Facebook.
Eat your vegetables.
Fruit is nature's candy.
Even if it's hard, and it's dark, and it's rainy, and everything is better inside your cocoon of warmth, get out of bed in the morning.
Honesty is NOT always the best policy.

Question of the Day
Where do I see myself in 5 years?
Honestly? I hope in 5 years I'll be on vacation on some tropical island. Sandy beaches. Fruity drinks with ridiculous trinkets hanging off the lip. Flip flops every day. The works. But to be even more honest, I know that I could only be on this perfect vacation because I've worked hard. I've worked 50 weeks a year to earn those 2 weeks of peace and quiet on this quaint little island.

But to be even more honest, I know that I could only be on this perfect vacation because I've worked hard. I've worked 50 weeks a year to earn those 2 weeks of peace and quiet on this quaint little island.
I know nothing comes from nothing, and we live in a meritocracy. I hold onto the belief that we live in a meritocracy, at least. I know I'll have to work diligently, consistently, with perseverance. I'll lose patience sometimes, I'll hate it most times, but that doesn't change my motivation.
I will toil, sow, struggle, and reap the rewards of that tropical vacation.
Not a perfect answer. I know that. I should say I want to be a VP of some major company. But since we're still being honest, I'm not that type of person. I'm not a type-A personality, I don't feel comfortable in a position of too much power. I don't want to rule the world or become queen or be a pioneer in any major way. I want to be the person behind the scenes, making a difference in small ways that add up to a big finale. The one in the background that gets a little recognition, but never the flashing lights and fame.
I'm quiet, I'm easy-going. I don't have the overwhelming ambition or drive to become a CEO. But I have ambition enough to work hard, advance myself slowly with good consistent works and a positive attitude.
Well. Most days. No one can be happy and go-lucky every single day of their lives. But I can do my best.
