Sleep through the Static

Well, at least that's how Jack Johnson describes it...

I mean, I don't mean to literally sleep...but you don't want to let your emotions dictate to you your actions...I know this may seem obvious, your good sense and rational doesn't always kick in when you are in the midst of panic.

So, what am I talking about, right? Well, I'm still temping...with "promise" of a job here...and my manager called me in to give me a heads-up that it may not be as promised as he originally stated it would be. I mean, it has nothing directly to do with me, but more to do with someone else applying for the same job internally, and that person having more "qualifications" for a job that I'm already doing...and doing at a more efficient rate than my two trifling co-workers. But that isn't the point of this post.

The point is this:

Don't be too full of emotion that you push away people that care about you. We all get hurt, angry, afraid, worried, sad; we all get these emotions whether they are valid or not...just remember that there are always proper outlets for these, and your loved ones aren't the ones for you to plug that energy into...because if you do, they won't be there for you the next time.

Just try to remember this, I mean, I'm saying this more for myself than anything...


No man is an island.

"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

-John Donne
