I want you to stand up. I want you to stand up and walk over to the window. I want you to stick your head out and yell I’m mad as hell! Yell I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.
So I have had a horrible week. My mind is so fucked up. And yes I am in some sort of mini depression. I wish I could just curl up into a little ball and forget about the world for one fucking second. This is what I like to call ADVERSITY. And how you face adversity really defines you as a person. See I can’t curl up into a little ball and forget all of this. I have no choice but to face it head on and conquer it. It is my job, it is my duty, and I will succeed.
So this is how my week went. I just cut 50k in checks. The tax man has cometh and he wants to be paid. Running the numbers on a cash standpoint I am essentially broke. I have some investments and nice amount of equity in my house but actual cash that I can rub between my fingers is pretty much nonexistent. What sucks even worse is this sort of just crept up on me. I was more or less blindsided which is completely my own fault. I spent money last year like it was nothing, I barely worked, and then I am facing the worst housing market I have ever seen. Put all those together and you get to where I am now.
Then yesterday I was messing around working on one of my rehabs. I was doing some electrical work and I am almost certain I was one millimeter away from dying. The wire I was touching completely disintegrated my pliers. Sparks shot everywhere I jumped back and was just sitting there wondering how I was alive. I couldn’t even function for about 30 minutes. All I could think about was my body lying on the ground without a pulse and the people around me saying ohh man that sucks.
So now I am freaking out. I am broke. And I almost died. WTF is going on here. I am now in the worst mood in the world just trying to figure out what I have done in my life to bring on this stuff. Has karma caught up to me for my sins?? I make it through the day and head over to my parents. I am rambling on about my current fiascoes when they tell me about a family member. My uncle was just admitted back into the hospital. He is laid up in some room with cancer. Now if that doesn’t put things into perspective I don’t know what will. I just laid back in the couch feeling so sorry for him and his family. My problems are nothing compared to his. What the Fuck do I have to complain about.
If you see something you want in life I want you to go after it. If what you see makes sense I want you to not let anything get in your way. You have been given an opportunity to do some amazing things in life. Letting it slip by without your footprint is the biggest mistake.
Make a choice in life. Leave some soil churned or evaporate like dust in the wind.
