weBLOG for October 20th, 2004

While I was with my niece and nephew this past weekend, I got to see an awful lot of their movies, including a good one named "Shrek." And included in Saturday's weblog was a universal truth that we would all be good in remembering from that movie.

I've come to the conclusion that life is supposed to be difficult, and that nothing is to come easy. Allow me to illuminate.

Earlier this week, I told a friend of mine that it looks like if I have stayed in El Paso, maybe my life would have worked out positively for a change. Of course, this is all from a relationship viewpoint. In a nutshell, women became available left and right; women who have expressed interest in me in the past.

And I felt so hurt and tortured, thinking that these things only happened because I wasn't there to take advantage of them. But alas, I've calmed down, allowed my melodrama chemicals to recede back into my system, and have witnessed what has happened to my "chances."

That's right, they've either dried up or rescinded.

These women becoming available, expressing their desire to be with me, was just chance. If I want something worthwhile, I have to be patient, and above all else, work for it. Nothing that falls into your lap can be fulfilling, or long-lasting. Like I said, it takes work and time.

You have to build a solid foundation first; something to build upon. With that complete, you build your structure up, slowly and surely. And when you're ready to complete your structure, you give the ultimate that you can, and end it with a flourish.

Of course, I'm just speaking hypothetically. I've never built a structure such as this before, but in time I will. All it takes is time. Who knows, some foundations may be in the works already.
