Recently I had a table massage.
My wife found out about Groupon, and like most people when they first learned about Groupon, bought a bunch of bargain deals. She came across a discounted massage and bought one for both of us.
For some reason, I was really intimidated by this whole thing. There was a form that I was supposed to check off where she was allowed to touch me. I left about half of the items blank.
Okay, it’s not really an employee of the month but it’s the quickest way to explain it and what I am feeling inside.
We have this thing at work called the Path to SUCCESS. Once a quarter a few people win or are told they meet all these characteristics that embody what we represent as a company. But there are prizes and $200 bucks and an exciting getaway at the end of the year.
Ok. True story.
Once upon a time I was in my backyard saw a bird chirping some distance away. I called out to the bird. He flew to my finger and chirped and flew off.
Amazing right? This only happens in fairy tales where Snow White has a pure heart.
I was going to write about something else this week but I started throwing stuff away in my garage and came across these discs of pictures. Most of the pics were from around 2003ish at the height of my karaoke days.
While I feel that the phase of life I am currently at I get the most enjoyment out of, the times I spent at karaoke were some of the funnest.
So this isn’t really about taxes, it just starts out that way.
My taxes have been crazy for the last few years.
I was in real estate investing and in the big picture, it was an amazing thing my wife and I did. I worked from home for a few years and could go on vacation on a whim.
This last Friday I was walking back to the office and saw a fortune from a fortune cookie laying on the sidewalk. What it said shook me to my core.
Soon you will have to modify your plan.
Don’t worry, it will be good.
Fate has been poking at me for a while and this time it kind of slapped me in the face.
My blog would be a total failure if I didn’t mention my love of Star Wars.
Star Wars has been a huge part of my life since before I had memories. Most of my clothes have Star Wars on them. My cubical at work is decorated with Star Wars figurines. I have a framed picture of a Mon Calamari (it’s not Admiral Ackbar, just one of his crew) that says “If I were any better, I would be twins.” I had a Star Wars-a-thon on my tumblr.
I think this blog would not be complete without telling you about my obsession with Chipotle.
Our relationship first began while I was seeing someone else. My girlfriend at the time and I were on a road trip to her hometown in Colorado. She told me about this cool place with huge burritos so we went to check it out.
Recently I was talking to someone close to me, who is going through some life changes. I noticed that every few years his life seems to get a complete reset. The girl he is in a relationship with bails for whatever reason, he experiences a job change, and his friends seem to fall away. All at once.
Like the legendary phoenix, he always rises from these circumstances and will get a new cast of people in his life, a new job, and usually start dating someone a little better.
