(no subject)

Sometimes I look over the things I've accomplished in my life in absolute awe.

Mornings like this one I just look around wondering what the fuck went wrong.

Walt

This guy I work with is amazing, and I'm trying to learn from him (vicariously). Nothing bothers him. I joke about him being a duck - he shaves his head, and like rain everything he encounters that doesn't benefit him somehow just rolls off of him like water off a duck's back. I don't mean to say he's dysfunctionally emotionally distant, he just always seems to maintain a very healthy distance and seperation of business and important matters from bullshit.

He deals with negativity, but doesn't keep the baggage with him. It's an impressive mix he shows - of detachment and feeling. Maybe it's something about the jazz music he listens to...calming influence?

You idiot

If many people make the same observation about you, or the things you do, stop trying to figure out how you can prove them wrong. Instead, admit that if a diverse group of people make a similar observation, that there is a good chance that it is either true or at least there is a reasonable basis for it...EVEN if that observation happens to be about you.

Stop being so goddamn defensive, stop talking, and listen. Put the ego aside and think. You MIGHT just benefit from it, juz a lil bit.

(If you can read this, it's not directed at you so stop being paranoid)
