life is a journey, think of it as hiking a mountain. (as i've stated before)
you would think that the goal would be to get to the top.
what about the other trails? are you paying attention to the cross roads? if you take the time to look around and appreciate your surrounding and notice those little sign posts that lead to various other paths and places you might find that your goal in no longer to get to the top but to check out the lake, or check out another peak on this mountain.
some people focus to much on getting to the top, they hike up as fast as their metaphorical legs will carry them, head down arms pumping, blazing past sign posts as if they were nothing more then pieces of wood planted in the ground to imitate trees. their scripture lost in a blur of determination.
where do you think your going so quickly budddy? to the top? what if you get lost? what if the top is the anti climatic epiphany of your life. all the hiking was for not if you didn't appreciate your surroundings. if you take the time to look at those sign post's you might realize that the path you we're on is not the best path available. maybe this other path will be more fun. this same metaphor applies to relationships.

my dad told me this story yesterday about his older brother.
my fathers older brother spent his entire life working. his goal was that when he was going to retire he was going to buy a boat, fish, hunt, buy a nice cottage up north, meet an very nice women and be happy. he worked oh so very hard, everyday of his life for this goal of his. he finally retired. he bought that boat, he fished, he hunted, he bought that cottage up north and he met an amazing women. he was happy. this all lasted for 8 months. He died of cancer a year after he retired.

so before you go running off to a certain goal of yours take the time to re-think what you want to do. enjoy your life and everything that happens to you even if it's bad because when people are on their death bed they don't regret what they have done, they always regret what they did not do. you only live once, for an undetermined amount of time. once again, why say why when you can say why not, yes is a better word then no, get a case of the "fuckit's" cause fuck it's and bad decisions are oh so much fun. also, as George Lopez once said " Life is to short to not have an orgasm everyday"
I have to go to school now and learn stuff, maybe this stuff wont be as interesting as the lessons learned on a mountain in the highlands but who knows right?
much more to come. stay tuned you might learn something.
:P
