a little more than an hour before my wisdom teeth removal… i’m supposed to take a valium an hour before i go in to calm any anxiety i may have, but i’m feeling pretty calm already. one might think that after my last surgical experience, i’d be more nervous… but i dunno, i tend to trust doctors. part of it also might be that i’m a fan of medical practice in general. must be the whole “we’re better than animals” thing.

anyway, moving on… i’m not sure why, but i love the phrase “i feel it in my bones.” 

throughout the years my views and thoughts on life have changed, evolved, mutated… and lately, i’ve been thinking about life in terms of interpersonal connections. i feel like those connections are basically what i live for. that is, i have no problem spending time by myself, and i’m usually pretty good at keeping myself entertained. the thing is, i don’t tend to get lonely, but i don’t tend to WANT to be alone. does that make sense?

when i started college, i felt like my best/happiest days were behind me. then as the years went on, i started feeling like my best days were ahead of me; “i can’t wait for…”, “life will be great once i…”, etc. but in the words of the brilliant scholars bill s. preston, esq., and ted ‘theodore’ logan, “the best place to be is here; the best time to be is now.” [by the way, that’s still one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.]

speaking of movie quotes, i’ll wrap things up with one of my favorite quotes from the movie ‘sunshine’:

“we are dust, nothing more.
unto this dust, we return.”

thanks for watching… may every day be your best day yet.
