Feelin It....

Today is a good day.... woke up and I actually feel better than I ever have in my entire life. Both physically and mentally and it really has to do with all the changes I've been makin for about a month and a half now. So far I've lost about 8 pounds now in 3 weeks and I'm starting to notice it.

All this because I have the time to focus on myself for the first time in 3 years. If you turn the clock back, I never had that chance with a job that required ALOT of travel. Plus a new kid really takes up your time in ways you can't imagine...unless you have one too;) Now I can actually make long term personal goals both for me and my family. Things really couldn't be better.... Going out with the wife tonight, taking her out to dinner and a movie. Shes been going through a tough time and some really scary moments and alot of unknowns for us in this pregnancy. Its been a while since we have had a chance to do this with the new house and kid so Im lookin forward to that. She deserves alot more after everything shes gone through.

On a small note... I learned a really valuable lesson about friendship today.... funny thing is I thought I knew it all when it comes to that shit. Won't get into it but its really bizarre what insecurity can do to a person... almost sad. Don't ask me who or what either not gonna give out that much detail.. I'll just move on. But fuck it... everyone who KNOWS ME will tell you how loyal and caring I am when it comes to people. And the lesson learned for me is... "care and invest time in people who DO the same for you" that's when its worth giving a shit about someone. I've been blessed and I am very grateful to say I am surrounded by a lot of good people in my life.

Anyhow... Now that spring is around the corner it means I can start workin on my ride... its one of my most passionate hobbies. Yeah yeah... there are 2 people I can think of off the top of my head.... ahem Ron & Elliott ;) that are prolly sayin "Christ here we go again.." but hell what can I say. Now that I don't smoke I got to put the cash somewhere no? Besides... can't let my boy Alex... do what he did to me 2 nights ago. We have the same ride (SRT-4) and he just finished his Stage 3 kit.. fastest thing I have ever seen on the road... best part is its reliable horsepower and emission friendly.

Last thing .. Since I've been on transit again for getting into work I've been blazing through books. Already read about 5 novels in the past month... so Ill put out a word on what I think of some of the stuff. Most recent one I finished was the entire "Chronicles of Narnia" from C.S. Lewis.. not bad. Some parts of the book were really long winded but overall its worth a read if you got time and your into that genre. Ill rent it when it comes out on DVD.

Cheers.
