It would appear as if I fell for the old insomnia trick again.
It's nearly 2:30 a.m. and I can't sleep. I'm not even tired. I don't know what my deal is.
Since I'm awake, of course Har had to get up too.
And this is the face he is giving me right now.
I love dog-sleepy-face so much it kills me.
You know what sounds good to eat at 2:30 in the morning?
Everything. Literally everything.
In about five seconds I'm about to heat up some Hamburger Helper from last night and go to town on it.
You know what's more white trash than Hamburger Helper?
Hamburger Helper leftovers.
I think it must be the month, March is what is keeping me up.
Or maybe it's the Kardashians I don't know.
Historically speaking, the month of March has usually been a pretty big month for me.
Last year at this time I was "let go" from a job for the first time in my life.
So that was fun.
Two years ago in March, Chris and I decided it was time to leave our cushy life in
Kansas behind for the fast paced city life.
Looking even more into the past, it was during March in high school when I broke curfew for
the first time so I could continue to dance the night away at an epic house party to cool songs
such as Ignition (the remix obviously) Bump, Bump, Bump, and Air Force Ones.
And if you haven't thought of those songs in awhile, you're welcome.
Talk about an awesome year for music. I think I might have stopped listening to rap after 2003
because I just knew it couldn't get any better.
And I was right.
So yeah, sometimes my March Madness is more life changing than others.
Let's talk about for example life in Kansas at this time in 2011 like I mentioned above.
Chris and I were living together in Topuka, both had good jobs, both in good health
(i.e. our appendixes were still in place)
not a lot to complain about really.
Except for the fact we were living in Topeka.
I'm not saying this is bad place for everyone, it just wasn't right for Chris and I.
The town smelled like beer farts and we were less than two blocks away from one of the biggest cults in the country- the Westboro Baptist Church.
After returning from Tye and Zach's beautiful wedding in Scottsdale, we basically looked at our
surroundings and thought,
what in the hell are we doing here?
We're given only one chance to enjoy this life, so why waste it living somewhere we hated?
So we decided right then to pick a city we've always wanted to live in and just move.
And thus came Chicago.
And thus also came settling for lower paying jobs, higher rent,
and all around a lot more unforeseen life challenges.
Of course staying in Topeka would have been 100 times easier.
If we were still living there today I'm sure we'd own a house by now, probably nicer cars,
and at least two Vizlsas. Maybe three.
And yet we'd probably be the couple still talking about someday we'd like to live in a big city...
Sometimes I think you have to just stop waiting and jump in already. Life is happening right now.
And I've never been a fan of the coulda, woulda, shouldas.
I prefer to regret things I did, rather than didn't do.
I regret taking this photo at The Bean. We look dumb.
And yes, in case you were wondering this does bite me in the ass frequently.
Like for instance right now, I regret grabbing Starbucks on my way home from class at 10 p.m.
I'd like to say I live and learn but we all know that'd be a lie.
Because now I'm off to heat up my cheeseburger mac,
only to be certain I have something new to regret tomorrow morning.
Live life to your fullest potential my friends, it's the only way.
Forever yours,
Tony Robbins
