Is a pet really, “just a pet”?
At 10:56 a.m. today I get a text from my brother letting me know that the dog is dead. I immediately tried to call, but didn’t get a response back, so I sent him a wtf back. I am still at the wtf state and will be for some time. This post isn’t about life lessons nor about we are all going to die one day, it is just about a dog. A dog I loved, my brothers, my mom really didn’t care for him much, and especially my dad. He was truly my dad’s “best friend”, it was so hard seeing him today, but I do believe it helped him get through the rest of his day. No one wanted to tell my dad because we didn’t want to mess up it, but once I told him he was devastated.
The Rest Stop
This past weekend I went to San Antonio for a friend’s going away party, whom is going to Austrilia. From Houston to San Antonio it is a 3 hr drive driving normally. It is kind of ironic that me being the car guy that I am don’t really do far trips. I think the longest trip that I have been on was a 5-6 hr drive to Laredo. I really don’t like stopping, unless it is for gas, but I am back on the road with no real rest in between. I thrill for the adventure of the open road and just can’t wait to get back to driving at a nice fast speed while checking out the scenery no matter how flat or mundane it is.
Getting Your Life Together vs. Settling: So Far the Question of the Year!!!
This whole week I have been thinking about my next step. Not only career wise, but passion, purpose, travel, and life in general. I do feel that my life is changing, every single day I am changing and most of the time it is eliminating things I don’t like to do and implementing things I do love. I have a problem of always being in my head and constantly analyzing and living my life through my thoughts. It has for sure gotten better, but there is still much growth that needs to be done. Just this year I have been challenged with a question that has really got me thinking (see there it goes again).
What Did You Learn About the Super Bowl?
My head is spinnin and I don’t get the reason why I care so much about something that ultimately doesn’t effect me at all. It doesn’t eliminate the job that I currently have, what I plan to do tomorrow or for the rest of the week, or how I plan to live my life. But there are so many lessons that can be learned from the Super Bowl.
