Don’t be that GUY

There once was a man who died and his insurance was denied.

Because they claimed, since he never really laughed and he never really cried.

He never really lived so he never really died.

Many years ago I wrote this little poem and adding the whole poem to google search showed me people have added their own little twist to it, that’s fine because the writing isn’t important but the premise is. Sadly life can be confusing, in reality we are spinning thousands of miles an hour on a rock in the middle of somewhere. I like life and treat it as a gift. I didn’t do anything to get here and I have done plenty that I shouldn’t be here today.

One thing I know about life is that you can’t change people but you can change yourself. This whole journey into blogging has not been about stats or money it’s been an adventure in learning about myself and how I can better deal with things that bother me. I wish I could change the things that bother me  as far  people and life but I can’t. I only snatch away precious time and mental energy with such foolish thoughts.

That doesn’t mean don’t try because I know it’s common for man to make excuses and walk away. I will continue to strive to work on my attitude and outlook about the  things I can’t change.

MY method of finding some inner peace has been working, even when I slip up and get angry I now feel like I have some control, when I was younger I would react and ask questions later, I disregarded consequences, it we had a problem we would deal with it right then and there. Anger is a very dangerous emotion. I know over the time I have been blogging it takes way more for me to get angry where before I would look for a target, now I avoid those targets because it’s not right, even if they deserve it.

That is why I often acknowledge and share that Blogging has changed my life, in that it gave me time to clear my head and time to find enough peace to STOP ruining my life as a drunk. It’s open the door to a whole new set of friends around the world. But most of all it gave me something to do to stay out of trouble. I don’t need to look to hard back and think of what would of happen this last two years if I didn’t have blogging but I do think I would be dead right now.

Final thought, don’t be so impressed with that poem. I actually written many things when I was younger. I went to Catholic school all my life and graduated 3rd in college out of over 6,000. Some people do all kinds of things to keep people at a distance. Some people have been hurt and disappointed so many times they are really scared about being themselves. If you knew the real me you would love me TRUST me

Thanks for taking the time to read this post I do appreciate it.
