devil may care with a lust for life

After watching the Bill Murray classic Ground Hog Day I think I can safely say I would be willing to experience that kind of situation if it meant I could miss out on other days in February. Especially this year.

.

That’s the one where the guy gets trapped in the loop of repeating the same day over and over again right? Can’t imagine that’d be the best solution to wanting to avoid days in February.

I can’t believe it’s the middle of January already.  Some years January seems to drag on forever, and now this year…it feels like New Years was just a couple of days ago.  It might be because I find myself thinking of it, maybe. Did anyone make any resolutions?  How are they going?

.

It’s unreal. It feels like just yesterday I was celebrating my birthday at Disney and now it’s nearly February. I have a few things, I wouldn’t call them resolutions, per se, but they’re going well, either way.

After my first week of classes again, I’m glad to say they’re actually pretty interesting; for the most part.  However, while online classes are convenient, they are a little less engaging.  I find myself having to record the sessions and go back and listen again.   Thankful that I joined the musical as well since it’s a good way to shift away from class/study mode.  Anyone else taking classes (online or other wise) this year?

.

I’ve thought about taking classes online, but I don’t know what I’d take them in, which is the problem. 

You know I have heard some people that come in talking about parkour. I’ve seen some videos and I can barely get through them. If you can do it safely though I admire it. That’s really nice that you teach her. Wait less skateboarding?….Oh…Well I’m…uhm, glad you guys have a way to bond. 

.

It takes a lot of practice and, oddly enough, pole dancing helped, a lot. Yeah, that. We have many ways to bond, though that one is certainly an interesting kind of fun.

We definitely didn’t, hah. And that’s fair enough! 

.

I figure, we all have different taste and who we find attractive isn’t always the same as others. So, the prettiest girl in the world to me is certainly my girlfriend, whereas you have your own prettiest girl and that’s alright.

Those children that were screaming and crying though, might not have been sad or scared necessarily.  It could be from feeling overwhelmed, over stimulated, tired, excited.  Adults are generally better at naming and handling our emotions in public but it’s something kids are still learning.  While I think that’s part of the reason they have characters roaming the parks, and lots of souvenirs and treats, that can be too much for some people- adults and kids alike.  The question is though, even with the screaming and crying kids, would you go again?

.

Oh, believe me, I get that, for sure. We spent a lot more time in the hotel room than I expected us to, just because I’d get to feeling too much of something and didn’t want to risk burn out. But, I do think I’d go again. Maybe not for as long a stretch, maybe try and cut it down to a week, week and half, and definitely not during the holidays. I actually want to go back sometime in the summer, for Epcot’s food and wine festival.

Yes, exactly.  Now that I’ve been able to settle it, I can go back to enjoying some things that were too painful for a time.  How was Disney?

.

That’s good, I’m glad to hear it. It was an amazing time. I liked just being able to get away with Ash and not have to worry for a while.

And you guys are back now, yes?  Are you settling back in alright?

.

We are, yeah. We got back the tenth. I like to think we did, yeah. Nice to be back working and all that.

That is the best kind of motivation isn’t it? All while doing good for yourself too. 

.

Very much so. Luxe is my baby and I don’t regret building it here, despite genuinely kind of hating this town.

I’m plenty compassionate. And thank you, I am pretty astounding. 

.

I doubt that, on all fronts.

Fascinating, really. What kind of things do you like to do?

.

I own a motorcycle, I do parkour, I skateboard, I attempt to teach my girlfriend how to skateboard which tends to result in less skateboarding and more other things, I like crossfit and obstacle courses, uh... Yeah.

While I understand how exciting the New Year can be, it gives you that push to step out of your shell and that is a beautiful thing. But I really wish people would be more careful, it has been almost non stop at the hospital. Is it truly worth the risk just to try something new? I am actually curious. 

.

As an adrenaline junkie, yes, yes it is entirely worth the risk.

TGIF, Lima! Hope the new year has been kind so far and that you’re able to do some relaxing this weekend! I know that I’ll be cozying up to watch some movies and make more homemade hot chocolate after hitting the dance studio. How about the rest of you? What are your weekend plans?

.

I had a few lesson to teach today and then more paperwork and then probably just spending time with Ash. So, not really on the plans, but that’s not a bad thing.

Oh that sounds amazing.  Pricey but amazing. I think Disney might sue though if you were at the reputed happiest place in the world and weren’t having a good time.  Or try to do something to help you have a better time. 

Yes, it was pretty great, and what wasn’t great was less about my actual enjoyment, and more people just trying to bring others down.  Thankfully relatively easy to ignore.

I mean, there were children screaming and crying everywhere, it was certainly full of people not having a good time, so I imagine they do a lot of helping to make those better than anything.

Oh, compared to yours and Ashley’s? Which, I’m still trying to make plans to go and take Aspen. It was good, yeah, it wasn’t all that bad. She truly did enjoy the movie, I’m actually taking her again this Thursday. Also, happy birthday!

.

I mean, I don’t see a point in comparing. We had a good time as well, if that’s what you’re asking. But yours sounds equally and enjoyable for what it was. I mean, things aren’t too dissimilar, we spent it in our hotel room with alcohol and whatever we could find on tv. Glad to hear she enjoyed, and thank you!

📚

I did! Mathias came over and helped me, which I left it on our counter. That way, we don’t have another ‘sky ended up in the hospital’ situation.

.

That’s good, I’m glad someone came by to help. And yeah, keeping you out of the hospital would be good.

I’ve taken upon the project and redoing my entire house. Now, now … don’t get me wrong. I love the way my house is set up but I think it’s the time of year that I need to set up something new. Some changes. A little change never hurt anyone, yeah? However what I do not recommend is going to the store and pay in singles because you will be judged. Like damn Brenda, I’m sorry that you can’t handle the fact that people actually pay to see my body. I didn’t come into this mall to get judged.

.

I almost purposefully pay for tools and wood like that. The men at the hardware store never know how to take it, and the lesbians are all suddenly much more interested. I love it. Though I do hate when you get the women who really just don’t know how to handle it, you can feel the judgement.  Like, yeah, I could have gotten it exchanged for bigger bills, but why waste the time?
