Every now and then, life sits atop a snow filled mountain and chucks a pebble down it’s slope. Before long, that pebble turns into a ferocious snowball that no one or nothing can stop.<– My week in a photo.I’ve learned alot about life the last week. I’ve learned that the mind is just an autopilot for what the heart really wants. I’ve learned that the human mind and the human spirit when combined, are insurmountable in the face of adversity. I’ve learned there will always a be a bigger, a faster, a smarter, a wealthier fish in the sea. I’ve learned that pearl jam is an amazing band. I’ve learned that bad things happen to good people on a consistent basis, without regard to race, gender or age. I’ve learned that ’08 is going to have it’s way with me, with or without vasoline, with or without my permission. I’ve learned that communication is of up most important but …

And stranger than your sympathy Take these things, so I don’t feel I’m killing myself from the inside out And now my head’s been filled with doubt We’re taught to lead the life you choose (all I wanted) You know your love’s run out on you (all I wanted) And you can’t see when all your dreams aren’t coming true I got off the phone pretty late tonight, something in me just needed to get out. No real reason why, well .. that’s not the complete truth. There are a million and one reasons why I just wanted to get out of my apartment, but none that I’d admit to anybody. I needed to, I needed something. Especially after the last few weeks. My mind has been in a billion and one different places, and most of the time my mind won’t let me get a handle on any particular thought. I needed …

In many times throughout my life I’ve been both the passenger and a driver. Sometimes in full control, sometimes no control, and on occasion life is kind enough to provide you with a student driver car. You know, the ones with the emergency brake on the passengers side. Of course, from time to time life will equip you with a car that’s equipped with a rocket engine, no brakes, and a parachute(read: little plastic bag trying to slow you down going 200mph, like the one you used to make when you were a kid) and an “Oh Shit” handle.’08 has given me many instances where I just wanted to grab the “Oh Shit” handle, and in many instances I’ve wished the day to be done, or deploy my pathetic parachute, slam on the brakes.No brakes. Story of my life …Hehe.Of course, not all of my oh shit instances have been bad at all, oddly enough. There have been some moments …

I’ve been racking my brain since I posted last in order to try to really comprehend of everything that’s happen this year.Whether it be my laptop being stolen, my sister coming to visit me, a new car, a new car being broken into, an emotional roller coaster or whatever lies ahead(I’m sure there will be alot).It will be a year to remember for sure. Whether it be good or bad, that’s yet to be determined.I imagine it’s what I make of it. The weird thing is it has always been what I make of it and I never really realized it.One, two princes kneel before youThat what I said nowPrinces, princes who adore youJust go ahead nowOne has diamonds in his pocketsThat’s some bread, nowThis one said he wants to buy you rocketsAin’t in his head, nowThis one he got a princely racketThat’s what I said nowGot some Big Seal upon his jacketAin’t in his head nowYou marry him, your …

I found myself having a conversation with one of my boss today. It made me chuckle, so I figured I’d share, even if it’s only for my future self. It was about being a realtor and making a ton of money off selling just one house. By ton I mean double what I’m making now … in one sold house….(01:39:42 PM) Matt: or, you’d learn to spend a lot more and keep doing it(01:39:50 PM) Casey: yea, that’s true(01:39:56 PM) Casey: I’d buy a vette if that ever happened(01:40:01 PM) Casey: and a big ass boat(01:40:08 PM) Casey: nah, did I say a boat? I meant a yacht (01:40:18 PM) Casey: and a big ass house on the beach(01:40:26 PM) Casey: with a full time bartender(01:40:33 PM) Casey: hehe .. ok, I’m dreaming now (01:40:41 PM) Matt: that’s good!(01:41:33 PM) Casey: I’d buy another house too … adjacent to the playboy mansionIt’s true, I was dreaming.
