Wise words from a mentor

A construction worker is working on the 67th floor of a high rise building in the city. Because it can take so long to get to the ground, he has his lunch with his coworkers on the floor.

On Monday, he opens his lunch bag, looks in and frowns. "Tuna! I hate tuna". He tosses the lunch off the building side and just sits in disgust.

Tuesday he opens his lunch, and to his dismay "Tuna again? Yuck!" His coworkers look on as he throws his lunch off the building again.

Wednesday one of his co-workers offers to switch sandwiches, but he says no as he throws his tuna sandwich away.

On Thursday another co-worker asks him a question. "If you don't like Tuna, why don't you just tell your wife to make you something else for lunch?"
The guy looks at him and says "I don't have a wife. I make my own lunches."

Car,
I know you don't read this, but these words you spoke to me in August have just stuck.

Something I've noticed is that we humans are a funny race when it comes to change. Most of us would rather bitch about our circumstances than actually making a change from within and seeing where it takes us. Hopefully none of you are making tuna sandwiches for yourselves. (on a side note...I actually DO HATE TUNA!)

Started working on part 3 of the desperately dateless series (dating after 30), and hope to have it done by this weekend. I plan on using it in Indianapolis over Thanksgiving. Called mom to tell her I won't be there for Thanksgiving, but we are on for Christmas.

I actually enjoy going to her place for Christmas, as I don't have to spend much at all. The commune has a name draw for gifts, and each person has to give something of themselves and their art. So I'll be coming home with some really cool piece of artwork, or a composed song, or a book of poems. All things from the heart, and not from the wallet. I've got some great art pieces that way, and I still like doing that.

Of course, that means either coming up with a performance piece that I can write out for the person, or I need to bring out the glass paints and start getting ready for the next glass piece. Of course...time will be the issue. Maybe insomnia is not a bad thing?
