I Love Life !

Honestly, maybe I am depressed a bit

when its grey outside for too long...

I dont really remember being depressed

on Holidays particuarly, maybe I am....

I'll watch for it!

But I have had bouts of

depression from events or

long term situations that

are difficult to bear.

Depression can be such a drag!

Nothing is interesting, not much

desire to eat, and sleep can be

elusive and not very restful.

Depression can be a learned response,

I believe I learned a lot of depression

states and manipulations of my

surroundings and people around me

from my Mother, I'm afraid to say.

I am for the most part though, a happy go

lucky kinda guy. I've been told that even

when I'm down about a situation that

I have a glow in my eyes, a happiness

all the time.

I love people. I have a heart of

compassion and understanding that

enables me to be patient and helpful,

and Im Thankful for that. I always try to

build forward in every situation, or

friendship, rejecting negative feelings,

and being upbeat.

I love that life means I can do things

I enjoy like my music, art, and enjoying

my friends, and working on the

computer.

I love entertaining live in a band.

Playing music with a bunch of other

people is exhilarating and transports

me to another "plane" which gives me

a "fix" that is now impossible to live

without.  

I love Excellence.....striving for quality

in what you're practicing or a hobby.

I cry when I see performance and talent

excellence. I get so choked up!

Doing your best and accepting the many

"mistakes" that are inevitable isn't

perfectionism at all....it's the "no excuses"

way of getting the Best out of yourself.

Besides, if one loves something like

music, why would they want to treat it

in a half hearted, low quality kind of

"accept what you get" way?

I love "practicing" something! I realized

early in my childhood that if i did something

a little every day, I would get better at it,

and it would reward me forever. From

playing a musical instrument to drawing

with pastels or pencils, to learning a language......

I love deciding to get into

something, get a ton of books, talk to

others who have gone before me that

are good at what they do....and forego

wasting time and practice from 2 to 8

hours a day for years. More on this

subject in a later blog since it's so huge

for me~

I love my brother Nick.

I Love coming to Tools every morning

really early when I first awake.

I love the real burst of sincerity in

Boosting your fellow freind here, and

starting the day with "pats" on the back

from my freinds here at Tools!

I love pets, animals are the Best!

We truly are stewards of this great

planet and it's inhabitants. I loved my

Amos and Molly SO MUCH. I love my

girlfriends dog Odie tons also! She's

so much fun.

I love peoples faces. I do. Its like the

out cropping of artistic talent thats in me.

I see a certain face or sunset, or

mountain range or coastline, and I

"swoon" with love of beauty! I have to

draw, I have to express, I have to

channel what's in me.

I love Women. The beauty,...every square

inch! The other half to men, the nurturing,

smart, helpmates to all us (brutes) men!

If it weren't for women, there wouldn't

be art or poetry or beautiful music.

Men wouldn't strive quite the same way,

I'm convinced! From Mother's love to a

lifetime of passion with a Soulmate,

there's nothing like a woman you think

is beautiful to bring out the higher forms

of Manhood ~!

I Love a pleased customer. There's

nothing like performing my trade

in someone's world, and watching

them be so happy with their

surroundings! It makes me happy

and its worth so much more than

the pay.  

I Love Good Friendships.

I Love warm chocolate chip cookies,

warm bread, red bouganvillia flowers,

painful Blues solos and butter,

7 Star Metaxa and a good bouzouki

lament, I Love big paychecks and

paying off debts, I Love dancing to

Greek music for hours,

especially the zemekiko! OPA!

I Love coffee, cold

water and great beer.

I Love Music, especially music that

transports me to such high and

wonderful places that I can immerse

myself in it for days.

I Love good communication,

good conversation.

I love an artists studio, a sanctuary

that allows creation. All the smells and

the sights that blend together to

allow the artist to allow art to flow from

his inward parts.

I love getting another chance, being

forgiven, realizing my limitations and

allowing myself humanity, the priviledge

to be wrong, or weak, or fallible, and

learn as I go. It's OK and I accept it

gladly.  

Every second is another chance at

a lesson learned, a small adjustment,

a chance to give and a chance to get.

I Love Love !
