As for what type of fun should be had, well that's a whole 'notha discussion but it includes the usual carefree stuff but with a hearty dose of real shT. I'm aspiring to be more healthy, work out more thoroughly, be more involved in local community issues and events, eat healthier meals, read more, and have more 'meaty' conversations with people with 'meaty' goals and aspirations in their lives. But with that comes the inevitable trade-offs. Will I be able to continue my blogging pace, which albeit is not all that consistent, has been one of my personal accomplishment highlights of the year. If I eat too, too healthy, will I no longer salivate for my moms' sweet potatoes, Aunt G's red rice, Aunt E's sweet potatoe pie, Grandma W's coleslaw, and Grandma M's cake? If I liste to too much radio will I become fan of Mike Jones, Young Jeezy, and TI? And if I lift too much weights will my neck disappear and my jump shot fall short to the point where I no longer can muster up the interest to play ball. Ok never mind, that shT just ain't happening. But really though...those what ifs just skim the surface.
So I guess this ramble is just a mere daydream about life's give-and-take. The nip-and-tuck of our personal lives revolves around the interactions, experiences, stories, and anecdotes that are collected over the years. So 'making the most out of it' really is all about maximizing your happiness for that self-satisfying emotional-ROI. We can lead busy lives and be wrapped up in the everyday struggle of the here and now, but there are some things I just couldn't trade for the world. One is my happiness and the other is who I am at the core. I've got my goals and aspirations and hopes laid out and they are all subject to change but still remain true to who I am, where I'm from, and who I'm trying to be...me.
