95%

Posted in:Personal | 2 Comments »

Back when I used to work at Irresistible Ink during my first yearly review my boss referred to me as 95%.  He told me that I can do any project and fly up to 95% and afterwards wait until the last minute.  I sometimes feel like this is true about my life lots.  I can climb to near the top at almost anything I do.  Be it djing, working within the car club, or work.  It seems like it comes with relative ease as if I prove to myself I can be the best, then slouch off.  I wish I could explain why I do it, or where it came from.  I know that when I push myself, I climb over the wall but there have been few times I’ve done that.  I really don’t know where all of this is coming from either.  I should be in relatively high spirits.  I’ve been working a bunch of hours but beyond that, I’m on track for a very successful year in my life.  I love my job, Brandon starts work there next week.  My dj crew is growing more and more and we’re throwing 3 shows in the next few months which will put us at the 4 shows I wanted to reach in the beginning of the year.

For those that don’t know, I also signed up for a gym and I’ve already lost 6lbs in the last 2 weeks which puts me just a hair over the 2.5lbs / week goal I set for myself.  Yet at the end of the day, I feel dead.  I haven’t felt like going out for quite some time now and even playing out isn’t a priority.  I really think I need a vacation and may opt to take one in October.  I’m really considering just getting in the jeep and driving.  Where I end up, it really doesn’t matter as long as it’s away.  Of course, that means getting away from work, probably everyone I know as well.  I really enjoyed being away with an entirely new feeling.  Driving in downtown Nashville, not knowing what I was going to find was exciting.  Granted this would probably be a better plan if it was summer but maybe I’ll just go that far south.  Who knows, not me that’s for sure.

    You pulled me in, and they said that was impossible. I think that’s 100% right there. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be doing any of this, so thanks for that.

    Also, no worries. We’ll “program the shit out this bitch,” and then you can relax far away from everything. It doesn’t sound so bad, really. But I’m a private kinda guy, so being alone never sounds bad.

    And we all (you and I) know what you were doing Monday morning weaving through traffic with me trying hard to follow you– 85mph trying hard to follow you.

    So thanks for that too.
