“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.” - Unknown
Usually my mind wanders and I try to take my thoughts and ideas and put them on paper to see where I'm focusing my energy. I didn't know that was the luxury of an idle mind because with things being so busy this summer, especially at work, I've had less time to reflect and evaluate. I'm more in the process of just doing. October is my month I'm hoping, I'll hit the pause button, take some inventory and see what goals I'm not actively pursuing. Sometimes you have to take the long look at things and say, hey, I haven't talked/hung out with so and so for months or what happened to your budget plan and least favorite, am I really eating the best type of foods that I can. Man the list can go on...why are those books half read, what should I do with this clutter, are my pets getting the proper attention and exercise, how is my grandmother doing (who I called today).
My motions hearing for work this week went well. I enjoy the arguing much more than I had thought I would. I had it in my mind that the writing was the part for me, but nope, it's the argument. I'm still keeping pretty busy, but I don't have to bring work home with me for the most part, so it is still ideal. I really enjoy my job I must say. Another week until the trial. I am excited, but too bad I'll be working on Labor Day. Hopefully I'll just make my own labor day in the fall. I am getting a lot of great experience and getting finally exercise some of my skills.
Tuesday, I had a golf lesson, but due to rain, my friend Azalea and I went to happy hour instead. She is so lucky to live in downtown Austin. I think if I lived there, I'd be at happy hour daily. We had some good chats and she helped me put some things in perspective. We see the world in similar ways in some respects and in completely different ways in others. I guess you are an accumulation of your experiences.
Sunday, is my friend Christina's birthday. I'm excited for her, since everyone loves their own birthday. We had plans to celebrate on Friday, but her family ended up coming into town instead. We will probably do something later. That sucks. She still has a few years left in her 20s, I hope she enjoys them. Her brother just turned 21 today, so she is getting to do a lot of celebrating this weekend.
I had heard about the Facebook movie and thought, what a terrible idea. I don't know what I thought, maybe that it was a movie about people being friends online or something. Then I saw the trailer. Wow, the story about how Facebook was created seems really interesting. I must say, now I'm actually looking forward to watching The Social Network. Here is the trailer below.

The first real week of school is over and I'm hoping everyone is settling in well. My life isn't much different, but I'm sure yours may be. I'm glad I have all that behind me and don't have to worry about the parent part of it for quite some time. I remember thinking 12th grade would never come when I was back in 2nd grade. Little did I know, I had 7 more years after that. My trip to work is now much longer thanks to school buses and 4 schools zones I must traverse. Maybe I'll just get an earlier start.
I am very much in the mood for a piano bar. It has been too long since I have gone. I think that might be the welcomed jolt I need. Or maybe a good 80s cover band. That, of course, and a cold beer. I really should get down to San Marcos.
funny, cool with the lines
