Saying Goodbye to the Zombie

 

I’ve learned a lot about myself and life the last few months. Before that I believe I was in zombie mode. Just going thru the motions trying to get by day to day. I would have little flashes of life, but then I would slip back into being a zombie. Walking around feeling numb, not truly living life. I pushed aside my wants, my needs and the life I really wanted. Looking back at it now, I think to myself what a waste of time! All those years that I will never get back. But I could dwell on that all I want, but it doesn’t change anything. What I need to latch on to and learn from is I never want to be a zombie again.

Zombie’s are the walking dead. Right? Well, it took a major life change acting as my defibrillator to shock me back from the dead. In my case the life change started in the form of a separation. I removed myself from a negative situation and it starting to bring me back to life. Then I got hit with a huge bolt of electrical current in the form of another person. A spark of positive energy came over me and I was fully alive again.

Now the question is how do I not slip back into zombie mode ever again? Here’s my solutions:

  1. Surround myself with positive people who support me.
  2. Enjoy the little things in life.
  3. Be Grateful for everything!
  4. Don’t be afraid to put myself first sometimes.
  5. Hang out with people that accept me for who I am.
  6. Never be afraid to try new things.
  7. Be Honest and Authentic with People
  8. Be vulnerable, open up entirely, and love somebody.
  9. Help others.
  10. Make time for people and things I’m passionate about.

And that’s how I will keep that zombie away. And I am committed to doing these things. From this moment forward. Not going back. I love the feeling of being alive and I want to hold on to it until I really do die.

On the Drive

Today was just like any other day while driving to work. I was listening to some tunes, spacing off and trying not to be blinded by the sun. Then, I saw something. It was car transporter. But, this one was empty. The wheel tracks leading up to the back of the truck didn't look that far from the ground. It looked as if I could just drive my Ion right up it. I starting thinking to myself.... I should try it. Why should I do the same boring thing everyday? TODAY, I AM GOING TO GET CRAZY!! So I floored my little 4-cylinder Saturn Ion (I felt like Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder). I was determined to get onto the back of the car transporter. My wheels met with the back of the truck, a horrible metal on metal screaching sound pierced my ears. I lost control of the car and did a 360 onto the otherside of the interstate. Wow. I guess the little Ion couldn't handle it. But at least I gave it a shot. :) I can't wait to explain this one to the insurance guy.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everybody out there. Did you know? Each Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, shaped like chicks, as well as Marshmallow Bunnies and Marshmallow Eggs, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy. This is an interesting fact but..... What does it have to do with Jesus rising from the dead and ascending into heaven? Usually I don't say much, but I really do think that holidays have gone out of control! Easter is a Christian Holiday . If you are going to celebrate the occasion at least celebrate it for Jesus. If you want to have another holiday on a different day, with bunnies and eggs and lots of candy, do it. Just on another day. I think it is sad that we have commercialized holidays that have a deeper meaning. I am not against fun and having easter egg hunts, but don't let it taint the real meaning of it all. I know in American we are so "PC" (Politcally Correct), that we are afraid to make anybody f...

The Colgate Curse

If you are like me, you brush your teeth two times a day or maybe even more. The "Colgate Curse" applies to the morning brush. This is the brush before you are exposed to the world, and nobody wants to introduce Mr. Morningbreath to everyone. Keep in mind, this may only happen to me, so I need your feedback...... So there I am, finishing up brushing, spitting out that last mouthful of water and then wiping off my face of any excess toothpaste. I look in the mirror and I think to myself, "There is one good-looking guy, with some minty fresh breath to say the least". But, I have made a fatal error... I have forgotten about......"THE COLGATE CURSE". It usually doesn't hit you until an hour later. You are sitting at work and notice a white paste on your pants. What is that? That has to be toothpaste. Right?! What was I doing last in these pants? Hmmm.. Then you try to take some water and rub out the white stain.... IT ONLY MAKES IT WORSE. Now th...
