Math wasn't ever my best class...

Logic is defined as 'The study of the principles of reasoning, especially of the structure of propositions as distinguished from their content and of method and validity in deductive reasoning.' I try to be as logical as possible in any given situation. Here is what I think is logical for my given situation.

There is an equation for success. And I think just like any equation, the equation for success has to have its key elements to work, and no more than that.

Hard work is the first step. Doing something 50% doesn't get it done. The second step is research. The more a person knows about what has been done in the past, the better chance he or she will have to do it better in the present. Thirdly I think it is important to keep an open mind. If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got. The fourth step is persistence. The people who are truly successful are the ones who didn't give up after a few tries... They try until they succeed.

I am pretty sure the following elements do not belong in this equation: bong rips, shots of alcohol, xbox, being lazy. I think that is the equation for becoming a loser. Damn.

But I suppose as long as I know what I have been doing wrong, I can fix it. It's going to be a shitty week I have a feeling, but it's going to be worth it. I am going to give up my bad habits, and try to pick up a habit of success.

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.
