What's Next?

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”
- Charles Dederich

July 1, 2015. I was laid off yesterday at LSD Pumpkin. So my job search officially starts mañana, hardcore. Say it with me people, because it feels so good;

"GOOD-BYE SALES!"

What lies ahead, I know not. But I care not, because I know there's got to be a better way. And the Doctor loves have me home. It's almost July 4^th anyway.

Watching the USA vs. Germany in the Women's Semi-finals. I think this one could go to penalties, 0 – 0.

In the darkness of the night, only occasionally relieved by glimpses of Nirvana as seen through other people's windows, wallowing in a morass of self-despair made only more painful by the knowledge that all I am is of my own making ... 
When everything around me, even the kitchen ceiling, has collapsed and crumbled without warning. And I am left, standing alive and well, looking up and wondering why and wherefore. 
At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me, but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate, and in the telling and the bearing of my soul anything is gained, even though the words which I use are pretentious and make you cringe with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama. 
He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's presence, who said, 'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?' So the pilgrim said, 'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.' 
And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, 'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?

Exactly!

Rejoice! Celebrate! We don't get too many new beginnings in our lives, and this is one. The Mets have won 4 in a row and their rookie pitcher, Steven Matz, gets the win and has 3 hits and 4 RBI in his major league debut, so anything is possible.
