The Second One

Wow my second post in as many days. Thats something to be proud of. The fact is I have nothing better to do right now. I just got off work after finally working a regular 8 hour shift (normally it is about 9, 10 or maybe even 11) the sun is still up! The sun always seems to be down when I get off. So me and my dog went outside and played. I enjoy playing with my dog he is so energetic and happy its hard not to be the same. Plus it is very humorous to watch all of the stupid things he does because he is pretty stupid..He is also very mischevious which is very annoying at times. But I love him and of course wouldn't trade him for any other dog. And now I find myself sitting my the computer, drinking a great pumpkin shake. I always get on soon after I get off work but only for an hour or so before I head home, it seems to be about the only time I have to get on the computer.

You know getting off work this early is always a great thing to me. I only get one day off and that is Sunday. Mostly a day where theres not much to do anyways. Except watch football but football season is basically over oh yeah except for that one game called the superbowl.. Sometimes I wish my life wasn't so packed full of working, I mean sure I like the extra money but sometimes even overtime pay is just not worth it to me. I'd much rather be doing other things with my time. Call me a complainer or whatever you want, sure I understand the importance of having a job and what it means to know how to work but too much work is just too much work sometimes. Of course it could be worse, my co-worker has two jobs he works every day of the week. He wakes up at 6 in the morning and drives to Park City and as soon as he gets done with his 8 hour shift there he comes straight here and works another 8 hours..everyday all the time. I do not understand how he does it and he serves as an example to me to not turn out the same way.

I always wonder about all the oppurtunities that are missed by people who do things the same way they have always done them. To me change in life is a necessity. I really don't understand why people hate change. Of course things like friends, family etc.. should stay constant but having to do one thing for so long is almost never a good thing. A principle that I really believe in is "change is always good" even though it may seem like a bad thing at the time, it is that change that helps bring something else about, and maybe that something is so much better. And you always learn from changing. Another basic principle, "learning is always good." I guess sometimes I wish there was more change in my life (knock on wood) I dont want my house to fall down or some mysterious bacteria eating my flesh away but the kind of change that is exciting. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to be stuck here in the small town doing the same things I've always done and to me thats not the greatest of things to imagine. I guess this is part of the pursuit of happiness that nearly everyone is still pursuing...
