"Tis' Patience, happy girl...."

If patience is a virtue, then I think I'm one virtue short....

Does it all even matter?

a famous philosophical saying says "It only matters if it matters" but is that true? Who decides what matters? Moreover, if it matters to me, does that automatically make it matter to other people who care about me too or are their matters separate? I've been doing a lot of thinking lately of what really matters in life, and a lot of things I thought mattered I guess really don't anymore. What are you supposed to do with your discarded matter? What happens to the things you used to care about in your life, where do they go? Do they just fall to the wayside and collect dust with other peoples discarded matters....?

What should matter in life? Should the things that we decide matter be weighted by importance, and if so, how is their importance to be weighted? How you decide who/what stays and what goes? Some of these things that used to be so important surely have strong feelings associated with them, how do you just cut them out and get rid of them?

The Good, The Bad, and the Scrunchie-wearing Ballerinas.

Who decided scrunchies were a good idea?

I find them offensive, especially when they adorn 11 year old ballerina heads. PLEASE LEAVE my building now!!

Thoughts and opinions...?

Summer Time Blues....Not Just a Festival in the Park.

Dear Reader,

As this is my virgin post I thought I'd discuss the notion of summer time blues. Currently, I'm rather blue, and not just due to the blues festival in Grant Park...

When the going gets tough do the tough really get going?

I'm pretty tough, but often times I find myself shirking my to do list, captive in an alternate world of responsibility-less bliss. Why does it seem so much easier to just hide under the covers than get started? And once you've finally convinced yourself to get started, where is it you're supposed to start? I suppose it's easier to start around the edges and hedge your way into the whole big mess, but really, it just seems daunting.

As a last ditch effort to get things together before I leave for a trip home, I'm just gonna jump in all the way and get through this damn list....here is the truth, as I from this day forward promise to tell, there is no easy way out.

My pep talk: "Just get dirty, get down in the middle of it and duke it out, you'll feel better when you're through."

Somehow this isn't really making me feel much better about getting anything accomplished.....
