Falling Apart

And you know Sk8... You never know what plans are in store for you romance wise. Its always a new adventure sometimes.

Who knows... a year from now, you may have met somebody new and be over the moon in love! You seriously just never know what will happen in life, but the good thing is... sometimes there are just amazing wonderful things yet to experience that are just around the corner..

Strangly enough that's really the last thing on my mind right now. What will happen will happen honestly. I'm just happy to be myself and live each day now. This week was strange but good. Started very down but somewhere in the middle a transformation took place. All the things I was working towards are finally falling into place. Its a good thing because at times I did feel things were useless. been through hell and came out with a new appriciation of things.

Happy Friday Sk8!
Glad you're doing well! I am so glad it's Friday, seems like it's been a looong week. I've also heard those Mel Gibson tapes...sad, he's been fighting alcoholism for years, I guess it took it's toll on his brain. He sure is hateful.
Anyway, hope you have a great weekend!!

Hey K9 happy Friday to you too! Yeah its safe to say Mel is outta his mind. I'm sure he'll go to some court ordered rehab and everything will be forgotten in a matter of months. Not really how things work in the real world for us addicts but I wish him luck.

You know, I feel no less sympathetic for Mel Gibson than I do for any other person suffering from addiction. It is all just plain sad, and no one wishes this on themselves or anyone else, for that matter. Nope wealth and abundance does not insure happiness, but neither does poverty or scraping by. I have known a lot of people living from pay check to pay check who were miserable because of it. I also don't think that looking to celebrities or athletes or anyone else in the public eye, truly offers us any answers as to the keys of true happiness or wisdom.

The fact is that we have to search deep within ourselves to know where true satisfaction, happiness and self esteem comes from for us. Most likely this will vary amongst most of us. But the real KEY, I think, is for us to be truly HONEST with ourselves. I fully admit, that I am far happier making $40 an hour than I would be making $10 an hour. I enjoy using my mind and problem solving. I enjoy having the means to drive a reliable car that I enjoy and living in a home that is my sanctuary. I love being able to treat my grandchildren and my children now and then. I enjoy being able to travel. And....I am willing to work for all of the above. I do believe that my means of life do afford me the freedom to make certain decisions in my life that contribute to my happiness and self esteem. But, at the end of the day, what is most important to me, is the love of family and friends and the satisfaction that my life has meaning and the freedom to make my own choices. I see that "meaning" in many ways, many of them probably go quite unoticed by others. But, others are truly not my focus!

Just my input, perhaps a different point of view than some, but my point of view, "For Me".

Kate I agree with you true happiness comes from within. Having money in your pocket makes things a lot easier. I'm by no means saying that money is the root to all evil. Its not its a necessity like food in our world. I was just saying how people think stars are better than average somehow when in reality they are just like me and you.

Oh! Boy! I so agree. The fact is that no one is more important in life, not celebrities, nor athletes nor anyone else in the public or private sector. It truly is sad these days, that so many, especially young people are so fixated on celebrity. It takes so many different skills and talents to keep this world running as it does....(good or bad! LOL). I am grateful to the people that fix the potholes in the streets, and the Doctors and researchers that improve our health. I am grateful to the checkers in Target and the people that stock the shelves! I am also grateful for the business people and the accountants that keep business moving. We need both the brick layers and the architects!

Yep we're all important cogs in the machine of life. People fall over themselves to catch a glimpse of someone famous. Why? Is your life suddenly going to be better since you were in the presence of "greatness". I don't get it myself. But to each their own.

Rented 3 movies for this weekend. So pickin em up will probably be the extent of my socialization tonite. I think I'm gonna run out of movies to watch soon.

What movies did you get Sk8? For a while I was really renting a lot, but since I started working out, I just dont have time anymore (good thing I guess?)

[sk8punk]

Got Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Book Of Eli and Inglorious Bastards. Basically movies my GF wouldn't want to watch. Really I'm into anything these days well except romantic movies. Think those would just piss me off. You know cause everything always works out. LOL. I should make a realistic film. Yeah that would do real well huh.

Hey Sk8!

You just reminded me of something. I have had a movie script going through my brain for years now. Its partly based on a true story, something that happened to a friend of mine, and I just expanded it. I have put lots of time and effort in thought... If I knew somebody who would produce it, I know it would be a hit!

I will sum the plot up for you best I can. Movie based in probably NY or L.A.

A very successful and together guy who basically has the world at his fingertips in every way, ends up going to a strip club to celebrate closing a very big deal. Entertaining clients you know, you have to take them where they want to go type thing.

At the strip club, he happens to see this most amazingly beautiful, but very sad dancer. She sits at his table and he is intrigued by her. He finds himself drawn to her beauty and mystery. He finds that he cannot get this girl out of his mind, and she befriends him and she takes him into her world of insantity, drugs, manipulation, and mystery. He starts screwing up at work, experimenting in her drug world and he starts going down the tubes basically pretty fast, basically because he falls in love with her, but she is just using him.

The movie goes on and on, but in the end scene he is set up by her in a drug deal and shot dead. Hows that for a happy ending for ya????

You know its weird being on meds. I've never been a big fan of medication. In fact I never even take asprin. So maybe that why I feel like everyone can tell. Or I feel like a walking Ramones song. I know no one can tell. People would never know unless I told em. I had this when I first stopped drinking too so it just takes time for me to get comfortable with it.

Almost let my old thinking get me again but I stopped it. I noticed how everyone in line at the rental place was with someone. But I told myself everyone in the world doesn't have someone and things could be worse. And I snapped out of it. I seem to notice couples more because I'm single. Its the new car syndrome where you start to notice the make of a car everywhere. So while I do feel a lot better I'm still adjusting to sober living.
