... I know ALL I've ACCOMPLISHED. ... I TRY-to be-HUMBLE. BUT, ... I'm NOT-gonna LIE--It's a-LOT! ... So, I HOPE-that MY "laundry-list" of FANTASTIC-feats & AMAZING-accolades is INSPIRING ... to y'ALL!
-- "ALL-'work' ... & NO 'play' make [A.J.] a DULL-[man]."...
--'The Shining'
... On ONE-side, I'm thinkin': The word "WORK" implies that I HAFTA-do it, so there SHOULD-be MINIMAL-ENJOYMENT. CONTRASTLY, I LOVE what I DO. ... I HAFTA-"PLAY" to make my "NON-(MONETARILY-)'PAYING' "job" TOLERABLE! ... OTHERWISE, I'd "go even-MORE 'NUTZ'"!
-- UUUGGGHHH! I awoke at ~5:30 am EST, and I HAD-to urinate ... URGENTLY! So, I buzzed for my NIGHT-Caregiver, & I signaled that I sought to "'WALK' to my toilet". QUICKLY, he replied.
... HOWEVER, he THEN-spent OVER SEVEN & a quarter MINUTES (... Yes, I counted ... OVER 435 SECONDS ... with my bedside-CLOCK.) ... SILENTLY ... JUST-pulling-down my LOUDLY-squeaking toilet-handrails. So, I VERBALLY-expressed my DIS-pleasure ... SIMPLY-by YELLING, "HUUURRRRRRRYYY!"
(... THIS particular "employEE" has-made an AGGRAVATING-HABIT of "taking his PRECIOUS-time" DESPITE MY-ALARM. UUUGGGHHH! ... THAT's ONE of the reasons why I HAD-to FIRE the PREVIOUS Caregiver!)
... AAAHHH, the TIMING!
TODAY, a NEW (POTENTIAL-) Nighttime-Caregiver "AUDITIONED"/"TRAINED" & followed-along WELL!
-- My "Martial Arts"-dojo really-IS my "SECOND-home". Even-when I'm JUST-there as a SPECTATOR, my "Professor" is still NICE-/RESPECTFUL-/COURTEOUS-enough to INSTRUCT the "STUDENTS" to "DISPLAY" their MOVES "in FRONT-of"/TO me, ... & LISTEN-to MY analysis/directions/advice.
... 'Por ejemplo', TONIGHT I gave a "SPARRING"-tip to ONE-student, ... & Professor made-SURE that the WHOLE-class KNEW-of MY-technique, ... 'cuz "It's a GREAT-setup!"
(--Professor Perez)
-- I had a VERY-ENCOURAGING meeting at my GRAD-school ... WITH some advisors. ... It went VERY-WELL!
((... HOWEVER, the NEW-Guidance-Counselor was BOTHERING me ... A LOT! (... AUDIBLE-sigh) ... To be more-POLITE, I didN'T say anything. But, AFTERWARDS, I told my mom--who AGREED--that SAID "advisor" IS/WAS "VERY-TOUCHY ... on my UPPER-arms".))
-- "The 'SHIT' that makes your HEART beat fastER & your eyes 'GLOW' when you DO-it or 'TALK-about'-it, NO-matter if it's HIKING, YOGA, GARDENING, PAINTING, SEX, MEDITATION, PHOTOGRAPHY, GOING-for 'WALKS', HELPING-OTHERS--DO that. ... Do it as OFTEN as you CAN, ... 'cuz THAT's what LIFE is about: Creating as-MANY passionate, HAPPY moments as POSSIBLE. DoN'T let ANYONE STOP-you from DOING the things you LOVE ... NOT-even YOURSELF."

-- "Take it from a guy with 'MORE-than enough', ... it aiN'T EVER-enough."
