Impending doom?
I hate it when I suddenly feel as if my life hangs by some kind of thread. This kind of uncertainty drives me nuts and I start thinking all sorts of dark thoughts.
My theory about 'smart sex', is, of course, a joke. The majority of people who have a wonderful sex life do not base their coitus on intelligence. Obviously intimacy and trust are the major factors.
During writing class the other day I observed one or two facts. The first is that all 10 or so of us were there to learn something new to advance our lives. The second is, that, aside from the photography major and myself, everyone else was there for some kind of Social Science degree. Social Services, Criminal Justice, Children's Education, etc...This must be a growing field, or at least one that appeals to folks over 30 who are going back to school. BTW, I am one of two men in the class. The other guy is there to improve his business writing skills. I think that the point I'm trying to make is that everyone seems to be so focused on their lives. I just want to learn and see what I can do with what is left of my life. My criminal record will exclude me from any decent teaching jobs (felons need not apply) so I feel like sometimes I am going to school just to kill time, to have something to do until the end...
I'll probably update this blog later today, after I go work out and celebrate the sobriety of a friend.

But learning and seeing what you can do with the rest of your life is also being "focused on" your life, as they are. Your focus may be a little different, but it's what you're thinking about nonetheless. You're all there for the same thing ultimately: to learn as much as you can as you work towards what you hope will be a happy, fulfilling life. It's like an AA meeting, only you're comparing instead of identifying.
My suggestion would be to analyze a little less and try to relax and enjoy a little more. I know, easier said than done. :0)
