Another day, another dollar, almost literally.

I want to make more money. And those of you that are saying money doesn't buy happiness, you probably have plenty.

I think life is like an amusement park. There are all sorts of rides you can choose to go on. There are also a few factors that will help you make your decision; the length of the line, how fast it goes, if you are scared or not. These are all the same in life, and lately I am starting to wonder why I chose the ride I did. Was it because the line was the shortest? Or was it because I really wanted to ride that ride?

I love art and design and have been around it ever since I was born. But I loved a lot of other things and didn't choose to pursue a career in them. I love writing, and I think if I would have been able to see past the whole 'too cool for school' scam then I might have actually went on to learn more about it. I also love sports and thought the other day what it would be like to play college golf or swimming, but I didn't do that either.

I just want more for my family. I am not saying that I can't get there from here, but where I am at now is really hard. Almost too hard. I have a friend that manages at a car wash and makes more than I do (he makes really good money, but still). I went to college and trained for 2 years 40hrs a week for this?

This must be the part of the ride where a lot of people get off, but I think I will stay on. At least for now.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
