I think it's actually pretty nasty sounding...hump day that is. I can't resist using it though. It truly is the hump of the week that once you get over, makes getting to the weekend seem far shorter. I'm back at work after having 2 weeks off. And a fabulous 2 weeks they were indeed. I can't help but feel like I'm going through this week underwater. Like I have a snorkel and can breathe and all, but instead of really feeling and experiencing each moment of the day, I'm just sort of...swimmin through it, and looking at fish. I seem to be thinking a lot...weird that never happens. I tend to go in circles, remember my spin cycle allusion? Here's a little sample platter of my wonderment:When do we get to the point in our lives where we are hardcore, bonified over-achievers? Where we actually like going above and beyond (aside from in our relationships, that seems pretty natural) and thrive on our productivity and success? Is it possible that the "yellows" of the world just don't ever get there? It's like a wise, boyfriend of a friend (don't you feel like you know him) once said, "Sure, I could've worked hard at playing the trumpet, been first chair in the high school band (instead of playing football) but that wouldn't really get me to the top of the social ladder I don't think." So true. See the connection?
How terrible is it to live in the now...where's the balance? Today vs. Future? Is it leading a "double life" to have some parts totally in the present and other parts of you are completely dreamy and in the future?
If we make blanket statements...not that I ever would of course....are they self (or other people)-fulfilling prophesies? Is it even possible that someone would have the ability to disprove our BS (blanket statements) once we've made them engraved in our minds?
And a less mind-washer machine thought: Man, I'm really craving pepperoni pizza!
