But life has a way of getting in the way. After a nice workout, I had no time to really collect my thoughts. My kitchen blinds needed fixing, the backyard had not been raked of grass clippings since I mowed the yard earlier in the week, a couple of rooms in my house needed to be cleaned, laundry was waiting, and I found out a friend of mine is in town tonight. <br />
<br />
So the great blog entry has been reduced to this, just me trying to say something as the final load of laundry is running in the dryer. <br />
<br />
Such is life.Vernon Wildy, Jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16226935442854382183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410201998927642372.post-13982386921215851852015-07-19T05:48:00.003-07:002015-07-19T05:48:47.052-07:00Balance<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
had made plans to write every morning before I went to work. I would get up at 5:00 in the morning, head
to the kitchen, pour myself a glass of cold water, sit down at my laptop and
write for at least an hour. A lot of
mornings that’s exactly how it happened and I was very pleased to get a little
further along with my novel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But
some days don’t work like that. Rising
at 5:00, writing, and then heading off to work makes for a tired guy. Plus most nights I’m bringing work home,
spending it on my work laptop doing updates and preparing for the next work
day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">(And
that doesn’t include meetings before and/or after work)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So
there have been mornings when the alarm hits 5:00 and my brain cannot function
enough to even generate a page. Writing
is important but so is rest. Because the
real world doesn’t care that you’ve got a notion to put down a story that keeps
dancing around in your head. It expects
you to be at certain places and performing your tasks, sometimes beyond the
level of expectations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So
how do I somehow keep all of this balanced?
It’s not easy but it’s a challenge that I accepted a long time ago. It’s really about maximizing time. There are 24 hours in a day and I try to take
full advantage of them. At times it
doesn’t work and things get left undone.
But when I can make it happen, a lot of great things get accomplished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Luckily,
today is Sunday and there is no work pressure on my plate. I’ll get a few pages of my story done and my
work updates will be finished with no problems.
But Monday starts the 5:00 schedule all over again. I’m just hoping I can stay on point all five
days this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally I have a moment to
myself. It’s been day after day of being
yanked in a multitude of directions.
People wanting, needing, requesting, and whatever verbage you could
think of…well, that was all directed at me.
I’m only one man but I have to wear many hats. I try to keep them all neatly stacked in my
mental closet but sometimes there’s no time for organization. You grab what you can and hope you have the
right. Usually I’m right but there are
times I’ve walked into areas without the proper headgear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">But right now I don’t have
to worry about hats. There are no places
to go or things to do or people to see.
There’s just me, this laptop, and an empty space with no light. If my parents saw me like this they would plead
for me to turn the light on so I wouldn’t ruin my eyes. That may be fine for later but I’m liking
this scenario of putting my fingers to the keys with only the illumination of
the computer screen as my light source.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Soon I’ll have to venture
out into the world. People still want or
need or request my presence so my hats are ready. But having this moment to myself, to have
some thoughts of my own, is something I need to do more often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I must return to you<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">for we’ve walked together
along this way<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">a journey of which you’ve
remained true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve dabbled here and
there and at times<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I took detours to find
other routes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Even then you were
patient, waiting for me to find<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">what was there and the
results that came about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">But in the end, I’ve
always returned<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">and you waited for me with
open arms,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">knowing there were things
I needed to learn<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">and the lessons gathered
caused no harm<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">but enhanced the journey
we continue to share<o:p></o:p></span></div>

horizons out there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yesterday it was just my luck that the two books I was
looking for in the library weren’t there even though the digital catalog said
it was so. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I think there’s a metaphor in there somewhere. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This situation may be a description of when people are
told to look for certain things and find themselves at the very place they were
supposed to but finding nothing. Then they
are forced into deciding whether to walk away empty handed or just grab
something else that may look just as enticing but it’s just not the same as
what you were looking for in the first place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So in the library at the very moment that I realized that
I had to make the same decision, I did so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Instead of walking away without a book, I wandered around
elsewhere and selected something else to read.
The book looked good enough but I had my doubts about it having the same
satisfaction as what I was looking for in the book that I had set my mind and
heart to reading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I believe many people have done the same thing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They have made choices that settled voids when what they
really wanted was either out of reach or just never existed. They live their lives claiming to be happy
and maybe they are. But there if there
were truth serum to put into their coffee in the morning or wine in the
evening, they may tell a different tune.
They could then talk about the choice of picking different schools or
friends, living in different cities, or even loving a different person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Of course, the worst part of it all is that some would
have to admit they fucked up somewhere along the way and are just making the
best of the consequences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Thankfully I’m not at that extreme.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But I know that today in the library it was just deciding
on a book to read. But what happens
tomorrow if I can’t get what I really want? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">to stop trying. You<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">are an elusive sort and <br />
it’s not for the right reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

say<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">but you try to be so damn<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">abstract, thinking a video<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">they were there from the

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">that roadblock the night I
asked<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">all those questions about
you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I only wanted to know you
a <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you were<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">keep running away, always <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">finding some sort of

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

you<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">redraw the road map to <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">give yourself an exit

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">a way out so someone <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">could never get in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m tired of the chase,
tired<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">of walking through mazes
and<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">all around empty streets
hoping<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

for<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">more than a second. Others<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">have done the same and
gone on<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">with their lives. I hope you can<o:p></o:p></span></div>

whatever it is<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
