"I ate all my caps...(POP!)...ow."
Well, it feels a bit like it...a little post-dinner 'discomfort' kicking in. Oh, well...not bad...
Band practice went better than it has in weeks...some of the parts were rough, but nothing that made you beg to have your ears filled with hot wax to permanently shield you from bad sounds (like in past weeks...yikes). I really like the song 'History Maker'...I really hope it rocks on Sunday.
After band practice, we headed to Ruby Tuesdays. And now it's official...spaghettios and Ramen for a few days to make up for the past week and a half of eating out. Oh, well...no problem with that.
Unfortunately, the food did not really settle all that well. Stacey's felt pretty bad ever since she got home. I've got the aforementioned discomfort, but that's about it. Oh, well...there's an important lesson in moderation to remember here, right?
Now, it's 1:30 a.m., and I'm kinda wired. Today's been one of those days that's been kind of weird. On the one hand, it's been wonderful. The weather was beautiful, I had a lot of energy, and everything just seemed to go okay overall. On the other, though...there's that background 'ominous' sense that underneath the surface all is NOT well with the world. Maybe it's the overall funky-depression-thing that's plaguing the lives of several people. Maybe it's just daily stress. I don't know, but I decided that I basically am not going to let any of it get to me this time. By nature, I usually act in a way that's 'reactive' to situations and circumstances - I let those situations/circumstance dictate my mood, my passion, and my focus. I just don't want to do that anymore. I want to 'proactively' engage the activities I choose - instead of react to various crises. I guess I think happiness is a choice...just like any emotion. Either we handle our emotions or let them control us. And, since most people who read this know how I feel about how what we focus on relates to that self-control, I don't need to go there anymore...I hope.
The world can really 'bite' sometimes, but God is good, he loves me, and nothing - or no one - can take that and the joy that comes with it away from me.
Ain't that cool?
KEY PHRASES: "So, Jonathan, are the Burns' just going to adopt you?" (ROFL) "Kailyn, you are a funny girl." "Wow, tonight I felt like I could melt porcelain." "Wow, Jeremy's gonna choke on that leash." "I say we just move church back to Sunday night that week...hehe."
CHAD'S KEY PHRASE O' THE DAY: "How did I get sick? At the risk of being unpopular, I put the blame squarely on Kevin's Blog. I was fine, and then after the 4th day af reading about someone being sick, my body ended up down the downward spiral of self fulfilling prophecies." - sorry, Chad...I'll write about getting rich or something next time.
