Jho's Place

God Forsaken State

It's frickin' cold outside...and it's only gonna get worse let me tell ya. I actually turned up my heat. I have to admit I just got tired of sitting in a cold cold house underneath a blanket and needing to wear slippers all day long. I know I need to also put plastic on my windows and I also need to see if I can get my car in the garage. Maybe it's just a sign that I am getting older that I am tired with living with out stuff, living in a cold house, and needing to scrap off my car every morning. Sometimes I think there is even a part of me that understands why people live in the suburbs, but then I change my mind and think "If I only had more money." See if you live in the Suburbs you actually have to make a "trek" to anything you want to get to and I can just walk two blocks up the road and feel cozy at Gigi's. If I had more money I would be there everyday. If I had more money I would be more happy. No, not true. Happiness is a day by day thing where sometimes it comes out the winner and sometimes it's buried where you almost believe, and sometimes believe, that it does not exist. (side note, recent work crush just walked by...so handsome)

Anyway, today on the drive in an inspirational thought hit me that sometimes does. Back when I was interpreting at Options North I was still in my last semester of College. I needed to go to my parents to watch the dog for them, but I also needed to get some homework done. I was complaining to my co-worker about how the dog would not leave me alone when I got home and that I would get nothing accomplished. That's when she said, "Who's in control Jon, you or the dog?" Simple yet so profound to me at that time and even now in my life I apply it to situations, smile and wish all healthy advice would stick with me like that had.
