Day Off

So I've been struggling to come up with a new topic for this blog and today it finally hit me. I'm seven beers deep and it finally made sense. We as men, need  a day to remind ourselves we are in charge of our lives. As I sit here typing I realized that I am not worried about my diet or my life stresses but more the fact of how much I am going to drink today. Usually I reserve these days for Friday and Saturday however as my good friend Jordan Stevenson always says "Why do you need to be getting married to celebrate bachelorhood?" So today I am getting drunk for the fun of it and not worrying about the consequences of my actions. It feels good to be me today.

To Hell With Life Plans

You know those people who have deadlines for certain things; like those who need to be married by X or  be in position for certain jobs by X age? Of course you do everyone has at least one of these friends in their life and while I am not picking on them I just have chosen to take a different path. Does living in the moment have its disadvantages? Are there some things I should have planned for better to happen now? Should I have studied more on Thursday nights instead of going to bars when I had exams on Friday? Maybe. But the simple answer I have here and it is one that still defines me as a person is I have a lot of life experiences that I would not trade for the world. Countless people have told me to take my "life adventures" and turn them into a book. While I usually just laugh at this thought it has made me realize that I do in fact take advantage of the moment and despite not being primed to be married anytime soon or have a European sports car by 28 I do live quite an interesting life that many people who have their lives planned wish they could have. 

I have always been the kind of person that believes you can either learn from people or at least use them as a pawn in the game of life. So while I am out having fun and forgoing plan making I still can sit and hold an intelligent conversation about what the future potentially holds for me while at the same time I can show these "planners" how to have a good time in the moment and forget about life and stresses that constantly plague these people. 

It is kind of funny as I write this post because this very characteristic of mine leads a lot of people to resent me when they first meet me. (There is no humble way to put that statement) A lot of people seriously do not get how I can manage to have fun in any situation but as they hang out with me they cannot help but notice at the end of the day they know I can be serious. They know I am someone they want to keep around in their life, even if it is just as a distraction. My laid back personality can give them a break from their current misfortune or shortcomings and I provide the escape. 

The whole point of this post is that you can have a healthy balance in life and that life plans do not always work out so do not get disgruntled if they do not. Just get in contact with me and I guarantee the tequila, beer and witty banter will help you escape your temporary setback to you life plan. Unless, of course, that is not in your life plan.
