No day but Today, Don't let life pass you by. Yesterday's history, and tomorrow's a mystery; it's about what you do right now.
Each rhetoric gives us the same idea. If only many of us could take these ideas to heart, we could change the world. People die. It's a part of life. The beauty of words and ideas is that they never die. If someone bestows ideas and beliefs onto the people around them, even though that someone is gone, the idea will never die. Some people might call it the spirit of life. Others call it the voice. I am not someone to say how they should view the afterlife. In a class, I learned the story of Everyman. It's about a person named Everyman and he takes his friends along with him. Over time, his friends leave him as things get tough. And before Everyman dies, the only person there with him is Good Deeds. The moral of the story is that you can only take good deeds with you.
I hope that people stop chasing things they cannot take with them.

Save the Cheerleader...
...Save the World
I love Heroes. I spent a good four hours last night watching Heroes. If you've never seen the show, do me a favor and watch it.
Any who, our week is moving along, it's strange to think that it's already Wednesday. This weekend I start the addition to this chapter in my life. As exciting as this might sound to some, it's drags closely to mundane. I am looking forward to making new friends and climbing out of debt. I also look forward to having more to talk about next time around.

Sing Us a Song...
...and we'll Sing it Back to You
It astounds me how the weight of music will never lose it's majesty. I listen to music every single day. Sometimes longer than others, but I can't go ten minutes without a tune rummaging through my head. I've gone through my phases of music. From gansta rap to punk, from punk to hardcore, from hardcore to emo and so on. I enjoy the evolving rotation my collection endures. There are some artists I could never live without, and to be honest, there are some artist I just got caught up in the fad (i.e. from first to last). When words fail, that is when music prevails. I might be plagiarising someone, but who cares. It's a passion I ache for. I took a job in South Carolina to be free to expand my music. I could make money anywhere, but if I was in training with the Navy, I couldn't have the musical creativity I have here. I could have waived the bicycle business goodbye and set sail for our country, but I couldn't give up my musical aspirations. Anyway, I hope no one, who has the choice mind you, gives up their dream for something they can do anyway. Keep your eyes on the prize and I promise that you can never be sad. Sure there will be time where you wish you had chosen the other path. But I can tell you that if you were on the other side ,you'd be wishing you were here.
Go Figure.

The Butterfly...
It's makes one thing that when someone dies, it's puts your whole life in perspective. I learned this morning that someone close to me had a death in their family. I wish nothing but my best to them. The circumstances are never favorable, yet they bring everyone together and it helps to think your problems are insignificant to others. Yes, I have financial problems that don't allow me for a lifestyle I had back home. But, I would never wish events that happened this weekend to my worst enemy. I only met this person once but I will remember his quotes for a lifetime. Unfortunately, death is a part of life and is never something we should have to face.
I had a pretty uneventful weekend, met with movies and more movies. I caught up on some rest and was able to take care of a couple of things. I have this week to look forward to. I pray safe travel to those going places this week and condolences to those who need a special touch this week.
Insert clever closing statement here.

After Much Consideration...
Some of the match faithful may know of the status of myself looking for a new job. I was offered the position of host at Chili's. I didn't think that may have made enough, and I attended a group interview at UPS to be a midnight package handler. The shift is from 10pm to 3:30am. With a daily 8:30 to 5:30, it was a going to be a tough schedule, but it would done what I needed. I took a tour of the UPS facility and talked with an HR rep. I went home with a strange feeling in my stomach that would have awoken the wolves. I tossed and turned thinking about my options. I finally sat down and thought of the dollars and "sense". On the same 4-5 hour shift I can work at either place, I will most likely make the exact amount of money. Although at Chili's I'll be seating people left and right in a restaurant. Or, I could lift heavy boxes and be let go on December 31st.
All in all I think having cash in my pocket will solve many of the day to day problems I face. Having to eat expired energy bars at my desk, or riding my bike to work because I can't afford two gallons of gas. Whatever the reason, when it comes down to it, I need to solve this issue quickly.
Let's Go Bulls!
The Senate passed the Bailout. And there goes that last sense of pride we had left.

Party of Two?
...Let's See If This One Works
So far, the month of September started with such promise and ended with complacency. At this point I have accepted my life and look forward to weeks of pasta and PB&J. I hate to wallow in my convoluted perception of pity, but I hope things get better. I was offered a position at Chili's as a host. Welcome to Chili's, party of two? That will be about fifteen minutes. Right this way. It's funny how I've seemed to have moved backwards. But things need to get done and the more complaining I do, the longer it will take to get it done. I'd rather get the midnight job I've looked at and start to build my ladder out of this hole I've dug for myself. I can't place anywhere except for the person in the mirror. Here's to a new month of positivity and financial growth. Hopefully I can make it home to Florida in three weeks.
