managing stress in a fast-paced world

So it’s final, I am going to be moving by the end of next month, the new place is starting to look really nice…

It’s strange how when I first moved into my apartment I was perfectly happy with it, then I got greedy, started to buy things for it and eventually outgrew it. For the past few months I’ve been shopping for homes, it’s a crazy market right now… I really don’t want to get into it at this point in time, maybe in a few months or years I’ll be in a better position, who knows.

Just as I turned into the parking lot at work today I heard in the news the name Pat Tillman, I remember him from the high school football team. It’s a strange feeling when someone you actually knew has passed on.

I think I’ve been fortunate that in my 27 years, I have yet to have a close family member pass away. No grieving and no funerals to attend, I think being older now I would be more mature and look back at their lives in a positive manner… at least I hope so.

I’ve thought it over and it just makes sense, no more listening to other people and blind trust. I know what’s good for me and damn it, that’s that.

My friend was able to get a pretty big group of us free tickets to this new Broadway show. It was pretty darn good, not like some of those older ones, but much more for the younger crowd. The show was funny with good music, singing, dancing, and great flapper costumes. I would definately recommend it to anyone!

The past few days have been nice, I took a day off of work on Friday, I didn’t do much, just helped my brother fix his car. What a hassle, I generally like to fix things, but when it kinda just pops up unexpectedly, it really starts to become a chore.

Anyways, Dardy asked to gather up people for dinner, so originally we planned to go to Dishdash in Sunnyvale, but they are closed on Sunday! Krung Thai was great though, very yummy!

For the past few months, I’ve been looking to buy a house… I havn’t said much here, but most of my friends know. It’s come down to the point where I think it’s time to start seriously making offers on places and looking into loans more carefully. The one choice I still havn’t decided on is if I should get a cheaper 30 year old fixer-upper or the 2-3 year old newer home? Tough decision… I guess I should just take a few more months and look until I can make up my mind.
