Is Amazing! I don't know why I haven't played before.
The Law of Constant Change as a fundamental law of our life that needs to be both understood and harnessed if we are to have a happy and successful life. The Law states that everything in our life is in constant change, constantly in the process of becoming something else. Nothing stays exactly as it is. Nothing. Movement and change constitute the reality of our being.

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
A little bit of Green Day this morning. I'm really looking forward to seeing The Musical in August. That weekend in August (13th, 14th, 15th) is due to be a pretty epic weekend. Friday is the BNL Concert @ Radio City Music Hall, Saturday is American Idiot on Broadway, and Sunday is Paul McCartney @ The Linc. Did I mention I have bangin' seats for all of them? Ha. Getting older does have it's advantages some times. You have more money to pay for better seats!
On to different matters.......
July 4th came and went. It was a busy day at PSC. And since then, it's been HOT HOT HOT. Today it's ONLY going up to 92. Ha. The past few days it was over 100. Yikes. Hopefully it'll get a little cooler for the weekend. I'm going to the Phils game on Saturday. Very excited about that. Tailgate all day and the game at night. Sunday is my birthday. um. yeeeeeah. More on that later.
Last night I went out with Paul to Seasons 52. For my birthday :-) It was an amazing dinner! ha. amazing. Our waitress used that adjective for EVERYTHING on the menu. But honestly. It's pretty true. So good. I'm so glad they opened one up here. The food on the menu changes seasonally and it's all fresh. We ordered a bottle of wine for dinner and just enjoyed each others company. I can't help but be so thankful to have a friend like Paul. For as long as we've been friends, and the slight/minor tiffs (if we've ever had them), it's fantastic that we never get tired of each other. Always happy when I hang out with him :-) Thanks Paul!!!! I highly recommend going to Seasons 52 and also, finding a Paul for yourself! haha.
I'm working today and tomorrow and then I'm off the rest of the weekend (including Monday). Had I planned it better I would've gotten a ticket to O-town for the weekend. Hung out with my friends down there. I miss them. Some of them are going through stuff right now that I wish I was there to (metaphorically) be a shoulder to lean on. I suppose part of growing up is realizing you can't be everywhere all the time. But, phone calls are just as easy. But I digress.....
What are my plans for my birthday weekend? hrm. Phils game Saturday. I might go watch the Cancer Bike Ride in NJ on Sunday Morning....but I don't have any plans really. My dad will be back from OBX that day, so I'm sure I'll stop by his house to see him and Joanne. I might just go to my grandparents and layout. I kind of need to work on my tan. haha. it's awkward. :-) I don't know. Aren't I so exciting? To be honest, I'm really not happy about this particular birthday. Nothing great about turning 29. Nothing. Maybe I'll get out of this funk by then and be motivated to do something.

The beginning of the end....?
Possibly. Maybe.
Today - July 3 - is not a significant day at all. Tomorrow is our nation's independence day (I feel a reference to the movie coming on). But really, I'm kind of deflated. This whole week. I've just been kind of deflated.
A few reasons why....
-My month and a half of crazy schedule is over so I'm not as busy as I was. And although I'm glad to have more time on my hands, I feel like I'm not doing enough (ha, not doing enough with just two jobs!).
-I'm worn out. I need a vacation basically. My dad and stepmom are on their way to the OBX this morning for a week with Joanne's family. Under normal circumstances I'd just say, have a good time. But at this point, I'd honestly love to be going with them. I just need a week of decompression, a week of doing nothing. A week of relaxing and a week with some friends.
-I'm really missing Florida this week. The 4th wasn't the biggest holiday there but we always did some fun stuff. Two summers ago I celebrated and then made the trip to Michigan for BBX taping. Last summer, I believe we had a nice BBQ and then set off some fireworks in our front yard :-) haha.
-I'm kind of bored. To be honest. I suppose I should start reading or something. Maybe I'll bring a book with me to work today. Definitely not tomorrow, but today - might be good. We didn't have that many people at the pool yesterday (which either means they were all busy preparing for the weekend or they are all heading down the shore). Either way - Sunday is going to be a crazy day.
-I'm really not happy about my birthday at all this year. Normally I'm really looking forward to it. But this year I'm pretty indifferent to it. I don't really even care that it's in 8 days. I'm going to the phillies game the night before, but, I don't know, it just doesn't feel like it should be my birthday this year.
-I had a few bad dreams this week. Annoying. VERY annoying. And had a nasty comment made to me at work yesterday.
So all in all, this week has been odd.
Some good things that DID happen this week:
-Met up with AB for dinner on Tuesday! So great to see him. We had a nice chat over drinks and dinner.
-Saw Gus gus' swim meet on Tuesday night after dinner. He swam really well! I was/am so proud of him.
-Reconnected with an old friend (Amy) and hope to get together with her soon.
-Lifeguard relays at PSC. Hilarious. Just hilarious. Only not so hilarious part was them all throwing me in the pool afterwards. yeah. I guess they'd only do that if they liked me, right? (that's what I keep telling myself)
-Finally figured out what is wrong with my eyes. Turns out I have a really thin layer connecting the back of my eyes to my socket. If I see bolts of light or black spots, I need to call a doc asap - it means my eye has torn away and could be detrimental to my eye sight. Turns out it's pretty common in fair skinned people. And when I asked dr goldberg how it happens he said, "oh, it's mainly due to aging". sweet.
-My bike is FINALLY ready! Now, finding the time to pick it up - that's the next obstacle. ha.
Anywho - off for another fun day at psc. Most likely an update tomorrow. Adieu!
