Starting Point

         The Buddhist say all life is suffering, and everyone want to avoid suffering and wants happiness. This is something I have been thinking about a lot. I find myself getting tired of all the suffering I inflict on myself in my own life. Sitting here today I have realized I am getting in the way of my own dreams and goals.  There is so much I want to achieve in my life that I hunger for, but my weight is getting in the way. It is time to change that. There are a few things I am looking forward to after I achieve my goal of weighing less than 350lbs. I look forward to going to see a movie and live theatre again. I look forward to going to a restaurant and sitting where ever I want. I look forward to kayaking again. I look forward to dressing up again. I look forward to being around children and not hearing any fat comments. I am looking forward to playing with my nephew for hours. Most of all I am looking forward to holding the women of my dreams in my arms.

            One of my passions is working with children and young adults. I truly feel I have a positive effect on their lives. It is truly a joy to watch them grow and change. One of the things I always say is “ I don’t accept excuses, I want results”. It is time for me to practice what I preach and to truly lead by example.

            I want to leave you with something my cousin Lindsay once said to me, “Sometimes you have to give up what you have, to get what you want”.

One Man or Another

One man stands over his wife as he screams at her telling her how useless, stupid and fat she is.

Another man in the middle of his work day and sends a text to his wife just to tell her she is beautiful and he loves her.

One man sits in his corner office overlooking a beautiful view alone late at night to provide for his family. As his son sits in a big empty house watching TV alone.

Another man quits him management job that he worked years and years to achieve, and how has started all over at a new job so he can be home when his family gets home.

One man comes in from having a smoke and grabs a beer as he joins his family in front of the TV for dinner as all four of them share one box of Kraft dinner between the four of them.

Another man sells his families second car forcing him to ride a bike to work so he can pay for his child to go to University.

The only difference between one man and another is the choices he makes… what man are you choosing to be.

One Down!

It is the first day of 2009, and let me tell you it was a very eye opening day. It started out by fining out that all the American members of EPIC percussion theatre where not coming to camp this weekend. It is very frustrating to keep running into a brick wall. But I have to say I am finding this a huge learning experience. I understand that because this is the first year there is going to be a lot of growing pains. I just didn’t expect this many. Now my day was not all stress I was able to escape for a few hours today, and that is thanks my amazing girlfriend. We went to see the movie Bedtime Stories. I for some reason like to watch movies and get a little lesson or inspiration out of them. I truly feel that in the past I didn’t take enough time to myself. I really enjoyed just being with her and her kids. And yes I did get both some inspiration and a little lesson out of the movie. After the movie I came home and worked on more scheduling for EPIC and other paper work along with some cleaning around my place. I am looking forward to going to bed and getting to talk to my girlfriend before I do to sleep.

A Beautiful Ending.

This picture was taken from my bedroom window on Sunday, May4, 2008. For the past year I have enjoyed many sunsets. A beautiful sunset is a great way to end the day.I really enjoy the small things in life.

Prisoners of Our Lifestyle

I have not shared any of my thoughts in a while, and I have one that I just can’t understand. I payed my hydro bill today just like, millions of people do all the time. My bill was over two hundred dollars. This to me is a lot of money. If I just pay two hundred dollars every two months in one year’s time I will have paid twelve hundred dollars. There for in ten years I will have paid twelve thousand dollars.

Then I looked out my bedroom windows, and you will never guess what I saw. It was crazy… just thinking about it hurts my brain. It was very sunny outside but yet looked very windy. You could see the flag over the harbour police station blowing very quickly. As it almost looked like a perfect rectangle. The trees around naked from the winter all blowing back and forth in the wind. At I thought to my self “I am surrounded by free power”. The only think I am using right now that takes power is my computer, the fridge and one clock. Is there not one way I could harness my own power to just be able to run my computer and some lights in my bed room. I will never understand how everything we need is around us but don’t take advantage of it, and sit around and watch how people are forced to go without. I believe there is an answer in my question that could help a lot of people.
