The Human Conditions

Today wasn’t as productive as I would have wanted it to be. I worked till 6:00PM, once again we were barebones staff. I still think its ridiculous how little hours they give us, but I digress.

After work I went over to my recent ex-girlfriends house, we are trying to remain friends because our relationship didn’t end on a negative note, it just ended. At this point in our lives she’s going out of state to college, and I’m trying to jumpstart my career; we have no idea where either of us will end up in two years time. For all I know I could get a job in California and never see her again.

At this point in order for either of us to continue to grow, we both must go our separate ways. It’s the best choice for both of us. Who knows one day our paths may cross again, but this was a decision that had to be made. It wasn’t an easy decision, and it will take some adjusting, but we will get through it and everything will be all the better for it. I hope.

Today is day 7 of 60, and I am changing my life. What have you done today?

Well if anyone is reading this series you would have noticed that I didn’t post last night. I assure you it was not because I didn’t do anything. Yesterday I neglected to post something because I was out late with friends and was too tired to do so. I will be posting twice tonight, for yesterday and today.

Yesterday was an amazingly good day. I woke up early, and went to the bowling alley where I met up with a few friends. One of which I haven’t seen in about five years. It’s funny what time does to your memories and feelings. The reason I haven’t seen him in so long is because we stopped talking. After a disagreement he did something that, back then, I saw as unforgivable. The older I get the more I realize that the things we used to think were important: who’s cool, what’s fashionable, or what are we doing this Friday; they are not all that important.

Forgiveness is a gift we bestow upon others because we want it ourselves. It’s one of the greatest powers we hold as a human being. Old friendships are things worth rekindling. Don’t let old hurts limit you from future growth. This… well yesterday was day 6 of 60, and I have learned to forgive. What have…. what did you do yesterday?

Today was a good day. This will be a short post though because its so late.

Today I went out to the beach to play volleyball and tennis, although I’m no good at volleyball, I found that I rather enjoy tennis, and I am halfway decent at it. So that along with my continuous work on my video game was what I did today to be productive. Tomorrow I have plans to go bowling, hopefully I still remember how.

It’s day 5 of 60, and I am becoming more active. What have you done today.

I had work all day today so not much of anything got done. Although I did manage to stay productive on my video game by re-working a few of the mathematical equations used in the program. Hopefully these will help speed up the games calculations and get rid of some of the memory leaks.

Anyway I have Tuesday off of work, and I already have plans to go to the beach and play volleyball and tennis. So I am still hard at work keeping my promise to myself about changing my life. I’m sorry I don’t have much to say today, as I said it was a long and slow day at work. People were sent home early because we were so slow, and we were already on barebones staff.

This is day 4 of 60, and I managed to stay productive against all odds. This is day 4 of 60 and I am still going strong. What have you done today?

It’s day 3 of 60, and I’m still going strong. If you missed my entry for day 2 its: Changing My Life Day 2 Of 60. Today was just as productive as yesterday, I have completed the framework for my flash based tower defense game. All that is left to do on it is fix a few bugs that have managed to sneak their way into the code.

Work was actually pretty busy today due to the fact that the air show got rained out. Although I am glad that I have a job, I am not happy with it. The longer I work there the more I feel that the corporate world no longer appreciates what their employees do for them. It’s time we stand up for our rights, and show them that without us they don’t function.

Tomorrow will not be as productive as today, but thats because I work 13 hours at work. Not much I can do for myself when I’m trapped in a flood of the general public. I’ll end todays blog with a little observation of mine. Tonight after work I was sitting on the hood of my car thinking, and staring at the one star visible in the bright lights of the parking lot. Another employee walked out and told me not to be so depressed, and that everything happens for a reason. I think it is fair to note that she was the last person I expected to try and comfort me. I guess I need to stop judging people without getting to know them. After she left I slid off the roof of my car and looked behind me. There was more stars. I was so blinded by the light of the one star I was obsessed with that I failed to notice the other stars surrounding me.

This is day 3 of 60, and I have learned to open my eyes and see what is around me. To be thankful for what I have, and to not let the things behind me affect my future. This is day 3 of 60, and I’m proud of what I learned.
