Parallels

A couple of days ago, I had somewhat of an eye opening experience. I had a conversation with someone who's been working very hard to achieve his goals, and has recently came upon some very good success in his pursuits. He has a similarity to me in terms of what he's done, and is doing now. Only he works much harder. That's still a work in progress for me (DUH to you if you've paid any attention to these blurbs for the past few years).
It's strange how God puts people in other people's lives. We're two people with what I'd assume to be very different lifestyles, yet we share a handful of similarities in terms of our age, our talents, and our goals. I don't necessarily know if our exchanges will lead us anywhere other than where we are now. It's not the type of thing I expect to happen, but who knows. His honesty was very refreshing; and the fact that he's taking his success in such an amazed and humble way is inspiring. You can tell the guy cares. I'd like to think I'd be the same if ever I reached that level. In some strange way, I vicariously experienced through him what it's like when you start to become well known for your talents. That thing that I've become unafraid to tell people, but that I feel most people don't entirely take seriously if it's not their cup of tea.
Having gone back and forth for a while, he'd made a realization about us and said "So it's like we're both learning about this new thing at the same time." He's right. Little does he know the motivation he's giving me.

When I hear about the true struggles going on in other parts of the world; quarters of millions of people in need of serious medical attention, who are unable to receive said attention due to airstrikes & warfare in their region, things of this nature, it's like, what the hell are we complaining about?
Trump? Yeah, Trump happened. Pretty crazy. Most likely irrevocable till 2020. But it happened. So now we move on, and we do what we can, with faith and effort. Plain & simple. My opinion of course. I know about as much of politics as I do quantum physics. I only do my best to attempt to approach things on a human level.
Glenn shouldn't have been killed. But they killed him. Even though they made it look like he died last season and made us wait several episodes to find out he was alive after all only to be killed after all after all. The fuff. That being said, I'm looking forward to whatever Steven Yeun moves onto next. I vote for a stand up special on Netflix. He'd kill. Tee-hee. Nuff respect to Michael Cudlitz. Also sad to see Abraham go. Just isn't the same without his badassery & humor. But let's give it up for Jeffrey Dean Morgan. If you thoroughly feel hate in your heart every time Negan creeps his way into the shot, then he's doing his job. Bravo to you, good sir.
Normally, this is the part when I say that I'm going to finally start doing something career wise, but this will be my only mention of it. I've never stopped writing. That's important. I know I have way too many interests. I try to hone in to one particular field, but Hell. If Chris Jericho can do 25 things, why can't Chris Cintron do at least like 12?
No more doubt in my abilities. I see way too many out there doing a whole lot more with a whole lot less. No excuses. And I do want to thank the shit talkers, the naysayers, the doubters, the haters, the skeptics, the jealous, the envious, the miserable, the faithless, the loveless, the empty. You fuel me in ways that only I can fully appreciate.
I'm happy, I'm healthy, I'm married, I live in my own little world with my Wife & my Son. And so what will happen when it happens, will happen.
I'm very sorry to the ones I seemingly have no time for. Sometimes I wonder why you become so angry toward me. But if I think about it, it must be because you truly care about me and value spending time with me. And for that I am deeply thankful to have you in my life. I'm trying to get together more, I promise. One thing at a time.
Next one will have more structure.




If I feel like it.
