so i was inspired by someone i don’t even know that lives almost 800 miles away a few weeks ago…and she will soon be over 8000 miles away for that matter. she has these quaint little spaces all over the internet where she posts little pieces of her life all around for all to see/read. its a weird thing the internet. ive always been hesitant on. leaving the blogs to be about my favorite albums or how the newest cuba album(s) are coming along. but ive never felt the feeling of posting something so personal. so…out there for everyone to see.
then today my friend ryan gave me another little nudge to actually do something with this thing. so here i am. i make a lot of mistakes. as the headline implies, most of what i will be posting here will be my daily/weekly mistakes (depending on how well i keep up with this). however, i am an avid music lover so there will most definitely be posts related to that as well as current goings on.
all that being said:
i have alot on my plate right now. a FULL time job that pays decent for the area but is definately not what i want to do with my life. a slowly growing freelance design gig im pretty happy about because of the flexability it could bring. two bands that i love and enjoy every minute with. (this is what i want to do with my life). trying to prepare to sell a house and simultaneously buy one. then last but certainly not least; a wife and a 3 year old son…with a second on the way.
my son is everything to me. i am really freaking out about sharing the same love and adoration with another, but i know that will change when *eliot arives and it will be easier done than said. that’s another post i suppose.
ive always had this obsession with measuring my time. with balancing it all. and by all i mean ALOT. i dont think id be happy unless i was doing everything i could, to do everything i could. if my plate isn’t full, neither am i.
so recently ive been struggling to do it all. well not really, ive been doing it all. just with no sleep. i made a conscious decision to go to bed earlier 3 nights a week. my body has been telling me its happy with the decision. its hard though. i feel like i could stay up for days and still not get enough done. but the lack of sleep was definitely catching up with me. who knew the body cant survive on 3-4 hrs of sleep for 3+ years.
LIFE LESSON #1 : SLEEP
*NOTE: i spell elliot: E-L-L-I-O-T. someone (not mentioning any names) says it should be spelled eliot. that just looks wrong to me. makes me think of ET even more than it already doesJ
LIFE LESSON #2 : DON’T ARGUE WITH A MOTHER ABOUT HOW TO SPELL THEIR NEXT CHILDS NAME. (i guess they do have more say than…basically anybody)
