Recording.

I did some recording yesterday.

French...Day One.

My mind is a bit fried at the moment. Today was the first day of my quest to be bilingual.

French is a language that I have always been interested in...and recently the universe has thrown me a few clear signs that it is the language I should he focusing on.

So today I got myself the whole Rosetta Stone set up and began my journey. I can tell already it is going to be a pretty intense and rewarding one.

But for now I must close my eyes and let my brain defragment.

L'homme dort.

The Perfect Macchiato!

Gym Face.

I was sitting in the hot tub at the gym this evening. It felt amazing...

This was the first time that I wasn't completely surrounded by large hairy men...so I was pretty happy about that. Another thing that I was happy about was that there were 3 relatively attractive girls in there as well. The mathematical equation for this scenario looks like this:

lack of large hairy men + 3 relatively attractive girls = Jon in a generally happy mood

So naturally in this generally happy mood, I smiled at the people around me. I thought I was just being friendly...throwing some positive vibes out into the universe. The funny thing that I noticed is that no one seem to want to accept my positive vibes. I would look towards them and they would quickly look away...completely afraid to make eye contact with me. They would rather stare at the wall than have to start a conversation with the jolly fellow next to them.

I understand this "I just want to work out and get the hell out of the gym" mentality. But I feel like if we all just started smiling at each other in the hot tub...we would be generally happier in our day to day routine. I mean we all see faces we recognize from the neighborhood busting ass in spandex, smelling like shit on the treadmill...why not strike up a conversation. This may make for a warmer next encounter at the local watering hole or coffee shop.

Just a thought.

Smile...it will make the world a better place.

I woke up today with a smile on my face...I really like waking up like that.

I feel invincible.

Life can throw me a curve ball...and I'll knock it out of the park.

I've got a sword and body armor...in the form of flexed cheek muscles.

Word to the wise.

Word to the wise and wise to the word. Life is good. Things happen for a reason. Don't ever forget that.

Don't Judge Too Quickly.
