22…..March 11th

Filed under: Uncategorized — sleepyoreo @ 4:50 am

Is there really happiness in self actualization further than something fleeting? Am I merely the cycle of my father restarting to the pretexts of an advancing generation?

I pondered these things as I rode home tonight in my metaphoric machine; its shining blue paint and once amphibious curves scarred by the marks of mistakes. It bears no shame of it’s stigmas, I have never placed much thought into restoring it to its original state. I have seen that unique blue as it chronicled the nights and hours of my lifetime through the pain, and the somehow conscious errors.

I have always known that the overt symbolism of the vehicle God never intended for me to be unaware. I remember the day I got it, studying the light ride up it’s chest, mature yet young and bold, not invincible yet regal with its power.

I have come to the point where I can see myself age, where I have noticed the speed of life. I can unfasten my seatbelt and move about the cabin now and look out the windows at the clouds up ahead. The wake of the ship is lucid, but running into old clouds shudders its wings. Still it remains strong soaring, I have never doubted its ability to fly; but the take off isn’t effortless.

I look in my mirror everyday and wonder if I am again summoning the discipline because I am truly in a place where I have realized the time has come to push myself to my goals, that they aren’t apples in the tree I sat in while the wind whistled through the crab apple blossoms hanging near by; that they are high like the bananas that grow in this southern state.

My father seems to be a happy man though I am unconvinced; I can see him sitting in the tomato vines drinking dry red wine sooner than I thought I would. I look at his hands I know one day sooner than I would like I will squeeze them with all the strength in my body, hoping to force the blood back into their tips.

I have never feared death because I know that this world is a test with no failing or passing grade; I know that I have to play the right way to win. My journey has always been on my own within my head, pulling air through a gas mask, hoisting weight above my head, or lying bleeding in the grass.

I believe in fate because there is not a thing on this earth that is without design, and I what am I to be an exception. I know that there will come a time when I only get weaker, when I cannot, and when I am unable.

I just hope that if I am to reach that time, happiness will yet covet the man who travels in a single trail of footsteps.

Round Two

Filed under: Uncategorized — sleepyoreo @ 8:47 pm

We lost a divison match that I didn’t play in to UNF, which sucks because now we have to beat UCF to win the DII and I don’t think that we can do it, they ironically look like the team to beat with many of the players I started out with heading up their pack, leaner and faster.

Pessimistically I belive that we do not have the leadership or the motivation to win. It is difficult because rugby is intrinsically a team game and when the team isn’t diciplined or under a proven leader, neophytes will not follow suit. I study the game and continually focus on my personal advancement always.

I have a second interview for the Cost Anaylst position with American Coatings, an engineering firm in need of a price list administrator. I have to drive a ways east to get there but I should be able to complete the job from home which is nice. I am just now forced to decide what my next move is going to be as far as my current situation. This Monday.

Looking good does not always mean feeling good; I am ever locked within the struggle to maintain discipline but the benefits are nice. I’m drinking alot of Gen Maicha lately, there is something about the complex grassy and nutty nuances of its flavor that keeps me drinking.

Lets hope that I don’t break any part of my cartiliage tomorrow, that the rage of yesterday burns hot in my fingers to still my opponents.

Breaking the Cycle

Filed under: Uncategorized — sleepyoreo @ 8:41 pm

So far so good as February rolls in here in northern Florida. Both of the jobs are going well; I posted good sales numbers in January at http://www.newspaperclips.com but I really want to find another job. It is great because I can come and go whenever I please and I have my own office downtown but I just feel like I could be making more. I have two interviews lined up for this week but I just I hope that I can find something that will work around my school schedule. I thinking about quitting with the State but I like the security that the job offers.

I think I was always meant to be an early riser, my neighbor and I have been doing the 4:30 am thing and I am hoping to get into the routine of it. I fell asleep in class a few times but I know that it is just my brain requiring more time to organize itself, not a physical thing. I lost 8 lbs in January and I am feeling better about reaching my goals.

Last weekends rugby match felt like a setback to my game. I didn’t want to smoke before the game so I could play cerebral. I’ve enjoyed the no fear aggression that inebriation added to my assault but I want to start thinking more as my physical ability can only diminish with increasing age. I took a head butt to the face which broke my nose and burst blood vessels across my face. After a week away from practice watching the win against USF today I decided that I want to return to the pack, revisit some of the fundamentals of physicality and tackling that made me the great back line player I felt I was last year.
