and I am not talking about the gay phil collins song
While at work today I had an insightful moment that was brought upon me by the store manager. A customer asked him, "How are you doing today?" and his response was, "Just another day in paradise." Now, this is not the first time he has said this becuase I can recall vividly, numerous times in the past where this response has annoyed the tar out of me but this time it made me pause in my track and realize what a beautiful enviroment I have been blessed with. Even today as I was finishing my dock wiring project which has taken a lot longer than what it should have, I looked at the sun going down over the water front in my back yard and realized that this truely is paradise. I find that as humans that are self centered we hardly have time in today's society to slow down and "smell the roses".
But if you have read my post from last night you must be wondering if there has been any resolve in the G.F. issue.....Not really, except for the fact that she is acting normal on the phone and still tells me that she would rather be with me than at school.....which is kinda scairy considering the fact that I view school 100's of times more important than a dating relationship. But I still appreciate every time she says stuff like that though because it makes me feel special and needed. Another thing that concerns me is the fact that she is concerened about going to college but yet she hasn't taken the SAT's or ACT's, hasn't done any college research, and is only taking two core academic courses her senior year! I mean maybe my friends and I just over did it our senior years by taking a full load of academic classes, but I don't know.
Other than that today was an awesome day where I felt like I got a lot accomplished.
Best wishes, Joshua Price
Update, as of 11:32pm central standard time. Brittany just came over to the house and I must note that it is the exact same syndromes as last night. She seems to be antsy (spelling?) around me, which she has no reason to be. She also told me some stuff that almost had to be lies.....its not that I'm calling her out straight up but I mean its to the point when you can just tell they are whoppers! But a noteable example would be that all night even as we were sitting on my bed for an hour she never would put her purse down...it was if it was a life a or death matter seperating herself from it. As she was leaving I wanted to just straight up ask her if there was anything wrong or anything she needed to tell me, but I just felt to tired to do anything which is really bad but I have been at work all day and then I came home and did tons of work outside. Also, another noteable conversation topic was that she said this straight up to me:
"Jonas my ex BF called me today and asked me how we were doing and I said ok. Then he asked just ok and I was like yeah, were doing ok."
But then she gives me a big hug and she mumbles something with a smile on her face. I don't know....this is probably one of the best girlfriends I have had in a long time but I mean this is just kinda strange to me. Anyways, atleast I have the gym to look foward to in the morning because I know it will always be there for me when I need it! Ha Ha
