Don't you worry 'bout a thing

Dear Reader,

Don't worry about a thing! Life is wonderful! Ok, so today I was watching "Hitch," the Will Smith-Comedy in which he plays a secret match-maker in New York City. The song title for the day comes from that movie. It really is a good movie. I was watching with some coworkers right after talking to them about marriage. Don't worry, I'm not getting married anytime soon. We were discussing different ways to propose and different things to avoid when planning a wedding. Final conclusion: I'm going to wear my purple tie at my wedding. Haha, we have so much fun.

It was a fun day with my coworkers. We went to Seven Peaks water park this morning and had a wonderful day in the water. I got a great sunburn. :) I have to shout out to Shannon and Kyle for being so awesome today.

When we actually got to work, my coworker and I started talking about chick-flicks and relationships. She has a wonderful outlook on getting married and it is understandable why she is not married yet. It has nothing to do with having the chances to get married, she just knows the caliber of man she wants to form a family with and she hasn't found a guy of that caliber yet. She gave me several good insights to better communicate with women. It was wonderful.

She also showed us a wonderful motivational video which I want to highlight here today. The main line of the video was, "You will be successful when you want to be successful more than you want to sleep. You will be successful when you you want to be successful more than wanting to breath." It was a motivational video that achieved its goal in helping me want to be more successful in life. I want to be successful spiritually and emotionally. I want to be successful financially and intellectually.

How true is it that we get distracted by lots of things that have nothing to do with what we really want. We can be successful people when we decide to work for what we want instead of partying all the time or trying to be popular. I will say right now: I want to be successful in my schooling and my relationships that will help me become a good husband/father. I want to be successful as a disciple of Christ. I want it more than I want to sleep. I want to prove that as well.

With that in mind, don't you worry 'bout a thing. Work hard with toward what you want. You will get it.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

I've Been Watching You

Dear Reader, Our little boy has not even arrived yet and I am already feeling the pressure to a good example. All growing up, I was always told to never do anything that I wouldn't want my children to know about/do themselves. "Always be on your best behavior, your children will watch you." I will be honest, I have always agreed with that idea and I think it is a good way to live your life. However, I didn't feel the weight of that responsibility until my wife got pregnant. I feel like I am getting more and more pressure from myself to be a perfect example, even though this little boy hasn't even met me yet. That's why I am relating so much with this song right now. I know, this isn't too deep. I just wanted to share the song more than anything.
