As I often do. I've had short commutes (~15 min) and now it takes me 35 if I drive it straight and almost an hour when I take the kids to daycare in the morning. That is a lot of time to think and listen to music. I need to give ESPN radio a shot maybe. But I digress.
I enjoy that wake-up time in the morning to gather my thoughts and think about what I probably will not do today. It is a slow Friday for me. I'm caught up on all my projects and my boss is not here. This is one of those days that I would be at home on a sick day if I was direct. Not that the ear infection is still bothering me THAT bad, but it is a valid excuse. My wife has a more than valid excuse, but I will leave that for another post. My point is I need to be somewhat busy looking for the next couple of days, because this Saturday is when I begin my Saturday morning work paradigm. We will see how it goes. As long as it does not impose on my football time, all will be fine. The kids will be napping most of the time that I am at work. If I work 5 hours on Saturday then I only need to work 9 hour days during the week to get the OT that pays the bills. I'm getting all Dave Ramsey on it.
Instead of getting a part time job, though, I work more OT at this job and indulge my creative side from time to time. What I thought about this morning was the reason I had created this blog "Quid Stuprum", which roughly translates to the phrase that Tom Cruise's character told the Ivy League recruiter when he happened upon his party in Risky Business. I think that we would all like to think that there was some creative spark within us, whether it be music, art, photography, or even sports. We want to have that some little something that makes us different from the next guy. Well, I have always enjoyed reading, and I have discovered that I enjoy writing. Taking typing over Physics turned out to be a pretty good call after all.
It is not just the creativity, though, but a way to express my self in a journal that I would not mind others reading as a way of better understanding me. One of my co-workers commented that she was not sure she needed a deeper look into my mind than she gets at the lunch table. Fair enough. So my day consists of reading a lot of news, email threads and message boards. If I come across anything that tickles my fancy, I will post it here. As much as I would like to tell myself that this is all for me, I really would like to see some comments and foster a discussion.
Peace, Love, and Warplanes
