Add pain, mix in joy, and blend to your favorite consistency

It's funny how one thing DOES lead to the other. I watch people everyday say that funny little phrase, and then live it out. You'd think that as opposable thumb humans we would figure out that this is more than a phrase, but a truthful happening. One thing does lead to another thing, which leads to another, and most times when you use that phrase the ending point is not the happiest of places to reside. I wish I would have learned this in my youth, maybe I'd still have all my hair if I would have...

Starting Over

The idea of beginning again has always fascinated me. Just the thought of erasing everything and it being brand new, is almost inconceivable. I've come to realize that I spend way too much time on computers...I've began thinking like them. Just the other day I put a nail in the wall, and after hanging the picture noticed that it was at the wrong heigth. Not a stretch for me to completely forget to measure and do it correctly, but to just throw caution to the wind and shoot a nail into the wall. The interesting thing though was that I processed in my "pea" of a brain CTRL-Z. For you non junkies that is the keystroke for "UNDO". DUH! it doesn't work that way. What if life had a CTRL-Z function? That would rock! I screw up a conversation with someone and CTRL-Z...it's restarted and I can try again. It's like a controllable Groundhog Day...the movie. Yes, I think I will invent this CTRL-Z button...if Staples can have "Easy Buttons", then I can have CTRL-Z. Life is grand in the realm of stupidity.
