Life is good.
I mean I guess it should'nt be considering...
my dad is in the hospital...
I'm working my ass off...
and girls confuse me...
But honestly...each of those things right now is challenging me to grow like never before. I'm looking hard and fast at so many aspects of my life that I feel like I'm evolving at this record pace.
I've recently covered ground with my father that would have been inconceivable to me just two weeks ago...and it merely took the balls to confront him and be a leader. The struggle is far from over...but at least he knows I care that he's killing himself.
I'm in love with my job at the Red Cross and I'm looking forward to every minute of it. I am now the Youth Volunteer Coordinator for the Rio Hondo Chapter which makes me responsible for 300+ kids and their activities and High School clubs.
And girls. This one is always interesting. For the first time I'm being forced to move at tortoise speeds...when all I've ever been is a fucking rabbit. I'm discovering that the rabbit does'nt always win the race, usually has no idea how the hell he got to the finish line and most likely does'nt even know what the race is about.
Kierkegaard said, "Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it." So I'm taking some downers and enjoying the ride, the scenery and the lessons along the way...so I really know what (or who) the hell I'm running the race for.

And I must agree, becoming a man who understands the value of patience (particularly with the women who vex us) is so difficult, yet I cannot help but to believe it will be so worth it when the relationship ripens like a succulent peach..
