I
was wrong about vacation being over.  It wasn't and I had yet
another good day.  Tomorrow I must get some work done.  It's
hard to do all the things that need to get done and still have
fun.  So I just said screw the work, I'm having some fun. 
And it was a good decision. 

So I woke up at 9:40, had 2 phone conversations, was asked for 3
different things by my mother and it's only 10:00... This is the kind
of day I"m going to have.......
Vacation's over...

So we lost at
Shea today.  I wonder if it really has anything to do with the
fact that I am bad luck.    Luck really is a silly thing
when you think about it.

Today I got up at 8:30 and forced myself to stay in bed until
9:30.  Got up, dressed and went to the gym.  Jogged about 2
miles in about 25 minutes.  Which is kinda slow, but it was 2
miles and not just one.   Came home, showered and went to a
Mets game at Shea. 
Hung out with a friend and had an excellent dinner of hot dogs with BBQ sauce... who knew?
Currently 11:15 Sunday night and I don't have to go to bed!  Wooo HOO!  You just can't bet that.

I always want to write something really profound and thoughtful here
and I never do.  I usually write everyday crap.  Well here's
some more of it.

I really like my job.  The kids drive me crazy, but I love them...
most of them.  I feel like I say stop whining 80,000 times a
day.  God only knows what type of parent I would be.   I
would never allow a whiner.  I'm so tough with myself, I'm scared
I'd be too tough with my kid.  I'd probably make it grow up too
fast, ruin it's life and have it hate me when it grows up.  Yea,
it's definitely better if I just don't have any. 

School is keeping me so busy!  I'm so far behind in my school
work.  It's stressful.  I shouldn't have taken that year off
after I graduated college.  I don't have the enthusiasm I had last
semester either. 

On other fronts, I'm single and well, it's not really much different
from the last 3 years of "unsingle" life.  Although, a friend did
tell me the last three years she considered me single.  I guess it
was like being quasi-single.  So everyone in the world is trying
to find someone to set me up with.  They act like if I'm single
too long I  might die or something; like it's a crime.  I
simply don't understand.  Is there something wrong with me being
single?  I have no time for a "relationship".  Everyone wants
me chained up and married as soon as possible.  WHY?  What's the big rush?

So at breakfast this morning a collegue mentions something she saw on
Oprah about wives are supposed to make thier husband's their number one
priority (even above their kids).  The person on Oprah even went
so far as to say that fulling her husbands needs fullfilled her
needs.  All I have to say to that is BARF!  What's wrong with
people?  Sometimes I wonder about the progress this world is
really making.  Why can't people just be happy on there own? 
Although, maybe that's just a crazy loner thing I have.  I'm told
I'm "anti-social".  So maybe it's an unreasonable request to ask
for someone who feels content on there own, someone who is sure of who
they are and aren't afraid to spend some time alone.  Who actually
fulfills their needs by "fulfilling the needs of their husband"? 
Maybe I'm crazy. 

So I got up a 7:20am on my day off.  Does that mean there's something wrong with me?

OH, I forgot to mention, I also worked on my resume and a cover letter
for advancement in the job I'm currently in.  I still have to work
on a letter for other employers. 

Gym yesterday.  New routine........ My legs hurt today!

 I
do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the
Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the
Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my
own church." – Thomas Paine



I've always liked Tom
Paine.  Good guy.  Good ideas.  This just happend to go
along with the comment posted yesterday.



Buddhism has always been my
favorite "religion".  Althought it's not really a religion. 
It's more of a guide through life.  I like it's teachings. 
Most of them.  I'd like to learn more. 



Generally speaking, my thought
on life and religion and life is just to be a good person.  Take
what makes sense from wise people and use it in your life.  I
dunno, maybe that will make you wise.  Maybe it won't.  Take
it slow, relax, be good to people, compromise, have balance in your
life, and maybe everything will be ok. 

If not... ooops...?

So
it's Easter.  I actually had to ask my parents what Easter was
all about.  I couldn't remember.  Turns out Easter is the day
Jesus resurrected himself after dying 3 days earlier (on Good
Friday).  I'm not sure how they figure out that every year Jesus
died on a Friday....  but that's the least of my religious
quams.  I don't get the whole thing.  The thing that bothers
me most about religion, is the whole idea that if you don't believe in
this religion you're wrong.  But  most religions say
that.  So which one is right?  How come anyone has to be
wrong? 

So I just watched the Incredibles.  It was well.... incredible.
