Changing my spots

My gut reaction when someone it hurts me is to strike back fast. Strike back hard.  Sometimes it has the desired effect and others not so much.  This time I’m pulling patience out of my bag of tricks.  I need to think this one through and act smart.  Can I do that? I’m not sure, but it’s worth a try.  I have too much to lose if I fly off the handle like I want to.
These are days I had someone I trusted close by to come help me figure it out.

Tool vs. Papa Roach..

I can’t have both but which one???

My Music Sunday…

I’ve been gone awhile but now that life is somewhat back on track I am here again. As is my music.

My Music Sunday..

New name same theory. I can’t keep calling something new when it’s not.  I woke up with this one in my head this morning.  So, enjoy I’m off to keep humming this song while enjoying the remainder of what has turned out to be a really good weekend.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Music worth listening to:

Let’s set the record straight before we even get to the song. There is no hidden meaning for my choice of music today.  I just happen to dig Social Distortion and this song is one that I really dig. So, for those of you who think the title “I Was Wrong” has a hidden meaning..Stop. Enjoy. Rock out. 🙂

~Topsy Turvy~

From Yesterday: That would be me right this very moment.  The fact is I should be pumping adrenelin like a madwoman but I’m not. Game 7 is tonight. It’s a make or break deal for my beloved Red Sox. My smack talking bet making pal is oddly quiet today which makes me think he’s working some extra mojo for the Devil Rays.  I should be beyond stoked and ready to rumble but I’m not.  There are too many loose ends at this time.  I built myself up and prepared for the worst in other worlds but there were obstacles and there is no resolution yet.  I hate the very idea of the worst case scenario but I’m not the only decision maker in this game.  My patience is on full blast.  Ironic isn’t it-The one who taught me the most about it is the one who tests it the most?  There is a method to the madness…

From today: I’m not so topsy turvy anymore. Life has gone back to the typical rut it’s always in.  The only exciting news is that I think my eyes are bleeding from a 2 hour budget/financial crisis meeting.  Somehow being enclosed in an office with polar opposites was not how I imagined my afternoon.  Sadly nothing very positive came from it either-Except more work for poor me! Little Turtle is sick from camping in the chilly Fall air yet he is still stoked.  He was given a ‘Jeter knuckle bump’ from a fellow Yankees fan via me (I think my knuckles are burned..) to congratulate the Rays on stomping my beloved Sox. Yes, I will be in Yankees gear one day soon–Much to my displeasure.

Thought for the day..

When one door shuts a window opens.

New Music Sunday (No, Willow it’s not the Bay City Rollers!)

Cheap Trick ‘Surrender’-Not a new song however it’s such a great song I had to include it.  It takes me back to 1988.  Robert Plant’s Now and Zen tour w/ Cheap Trick.   It was my first concert *without* a parent and it was an enlightening experience.  For me, Cheap Trick stole the show.  This song is awesome. Nothing further can be said. Enjoy!

~In a nutshell~

This weekend has been memorable. Thanks to Facebook I’ve found friends I haven’t talked to in 17 years and I’ve made a friend that I so should have had 17 years ago.  We still can’t figure out how we weren’t considering the circles we ran in.  The amount of damage that could have been done if we were.. Inconceivable. Life is funny-lives can run parallel and even circle each for years and years and never intersect.   However, when they finally do it’s kismet. Almost as if it was planned.

In other news, I miss Captain Awesome.  His awesome-ness is being spread everywhere but here.  I get the reasons however I do have a selfish streak from time to time. Today happens to be one of those times.
