Zen and the Art of Life

If I was going to write a book about my philosophy, I would call the book, "Zen and the Art of Life". For better or for worse I find myself looking in the mirror every day asking myself if I am happy and if I am doing the right thing. Most days the answer is yes. Some days the answer is no. My dad said life is all about evening out the highs and lows. To a point he is right, but without the lows you can't learn to appreciate the most important things in life. Without the highs you can't appreciate the good things in life.

Highs

This picture is me, in Mexico, on my honeymoon, nothing beats cerveza and real mexican food. Let me tell you happiness is bliss. As you can see I was pretty darn happy.

Lows

There is another picture of me laid up in Grady hospital that is not suitable for public content. Let me tell you, there is only one thing in life living for and that this love. I'm not trying to be all sappy here but its the truth. Call me a romantic at heart. Love of your partner, love of your family, love of your friends. Without love, you can have all the material goods in the world and still be empty. And that emptiness will consume you.

Satisfaction

Is a job well done. Which is why I like doing it all myself. Most people take their car to the mechanic, call the lawn service for their lawn, the plumber when the toilet is backed up. I do it all myself. I know that when the job is done that I only have myself to blame if it is cocked up. I don't have call someone and argue about the cost or the fact that something is half assed. I just redo it until it's right.
