Last night, someone told me I'm miserable. I'm crazy, bordering on bi-polar. I'm always unhappy and I am so worried what people say about me that I don't realize that not everyone is talking or doing something behind my back. While I disagree with all the above statements, being out of work, dealing with some outside stressors out of my control and generally always thinking about others well being before my own has made me less than thrilled about the current state of my life. That being said, I decided to make a short list of the things that have made me happy in the past month.
Being back at the school in the afternoons with the kids. Smiles are infectious.
Speaking to my grandmother the other day. She sometimes says things that can be viewed as hurtful, but her honesty warms me. I'm not like you. A sugar cookie and a pat on the head isn't what I need. Being told to get off your ass and find a new job and a new girlfriend is far better.
Thinking a lot about my mom. Sad to the point of tears at times, but remembering the last few days and what we talked about. Those are memories I will never forget.
Deep conversations with people who get me. They are few and far between.
Having friends who don't always appear to be there, reaching out and genuinely telling you they are there. Now that is fucking special.
Reading Ruth Reichl and Gael Greene's twitter posts. I don't know if I've ever masturbated while reading food descriptions, but I've come close thanks to these two ladies. Bourdain's description of the 22-course tasting menu served by Thomas Keller in Nasty Bits.
Last weekend with Jen and Eddie! Love having fun at others oblivious expense.
Talking to Pete about baseball, food and everything else under the sun.
Yellow (orange flavored) Hostess cupcakes - I hate sweets, but something about these.
Winning 19 of my last 24 games of words with friends.
Tim Tebow! Hail Jesus, haha!
Taking a walk in the middle of the night and stopping to sit and stare into the dark, seeing nothing and wonder what as equally as fascinated to be watching me.
The TV show New Girl.
Speaking with Karin. Started off emotional and turned into a funny chat. We'll definitely be hanging soon. The wagon will lose some wheels that day!
Having heated debates about politics and religion. _ Most people call this taboo. Those people say that because they are going into battle with inferior weapons. The art of debating is not knowing how to make your point, but how to deflate your opponents.
Listening to songs that I haven't heard in a while on youtube.com
Spending last Sunday away from the bullshit. Unfortunately, some of the bullshit followed us.
Dealing with a good customer service rep....especially after dealing with his moronic co-worker.
Watching a horrible movie, again! Made me realize how lucky I am to have experienced the films I have, while others dwell on the latest SNL characters ridiculous romp and claim movies about nights in Vegas to be "epics." Give Bergman, Kubrick, Scorcese, Park,Tarentino or the Coen Brothers.
An unexpected hello and the occasional "I was thinking about you."
