… (METAPHORICALLY)
(…HONESTLY, PRE-accident, I took-PRIDE in the FACT that I had a "4-pack", … while I STILL ENJOYED FREQUENTLY "chillin'"/"hangin'" w/ my PALS & being SUPER-social … AND bein' VERY-ACTIVE in my MARTIAL ARTS.)
Don't confuse poor decision-making or errors in judgement
with destiny. Own your mistakes. It’s ok; we all make them.
LEARN from them, so they can "EMPOWER" you..!
"'Failure' is NOT a SINGLE, cataclysmic event. You doN'T
'fail' OVERNIGHT.
…
Instead,'FAILURE' is a FEW ERRORS in judgment,
REPEATED every day."
(--Jim Rohn)
So, "the jury's BACK … WITH the VERDICT".
This morning I watched the SYMBOLIC-film of my REHAB,
ATHLETIC-VENTURES, "JOURNEY" & … "LIFE":
'VISION QUEST'.
(… My "DEAD" LEG-nerves play the part of HERALDED,
PREVIOUSLY-UNdefeated WRESTLER Ryan Schute. The
protagonist, Louden Swain--ME--ULTIMATELY defeats his
STAR-opponent to CONCLUDE the film.)
…
NOT to BRAG, … but I WILL:
(… I PRIDE-myself on MY academic-/intellectual-
EXCELLENCE. So, isN'T it A BIT ODD/STRANGE that …)
1) I actually REMEMBER (YAY!) my cumulative high school
GPA was a "SPARKLING" 4.7613.
(WHAT can I say?! I KNOW & RESPECT … the "POWER"
of NUMBERS. ('NUMB3RS' was a PHENOMENAL TV-
show!)
2) I did NOT receive/earn a 'B' on a school-"REPORT CARD"
'til my freshman year of COLLEGE. ("THANK YOU, 'IVY
LEAGUE'-'University of Pennsylvania'!)
(… Did y'all DE-tect the SARCASM?!)
3) The difference--in YEARS--between my youngER brother & I (2) "raised to the power of the TOTAL # of my parents' offspring (3)" = the difference--in YEARS--between my parents' ELDEST child (ME) & their YOUNGEST (my sister)
= 2^(3rd) = 8
"'OPTIMISM' is the FAITH that leads to ACHIEVEMENT.
NOTHING can be done withOUT HOPE & CONFIDENCE."
(--Helen Keller)
I "conducted" TWO interviews this afternoon, & I have TWO
MORE scheduled for 'man(tilde)ana por la man(tilde)ana'.
These FOUR guests are TRYING-to "fill a spot/position
RECENTLY-vacated" by a FORMERLY-fun, NOW-
disappointing EX-caregiver … who INEXPLICABLY moved
his family ~1.5 hours AWAY. BOTH NEW-guys were
GREAT!
If I HAD-to state a PREFERENCE, I'd say I liked the second
guy MORE. HOWEVER, not-only did he BRING his LOUD &
very OBNOXIOUS "wife & THREE kids" TO the
JOB-interview, but he OPENLY-questioned and -DOUBTED
my NURSE'S MEDICAL-opinion.
… C'mON! WHERE's the PROPER/LOGICAL interview-
ETIQUETTE?! Even I … KNOW … you doN'T DIS-agree
with an interviewER in HER "area-of-EXPERTISE"!
…
Reviewing my fun LATE last night, I went-OUT … with my
housemate to our "high school"-buddy's house … to play
some POKER! It was GREAT!
For the first 3+ hours, I didN'T win a hand!
: (
Then, I ANNOUNCED: "ONE-MORE hand!"
…
SURE ENOUGH, PLUS I decided-to FINALLY try "MY talent"
of SEMI-"counting cards" … on the LAST frickin' hand!
… Well, I went "ALL-IN" … with "a pair of TENs".
… ANOTHER Ten came "on the TURN"!
So, I CONCLUDED the night (I got HOME--from Miami--at
11:52 pm.) with a HUGE-win!
