I have to be real. I rarely have day without conflict. I suppose this is true for everyone, but there have been a lot of times when I feel like my life is consumed with it. I surely bring a lot of it on myself. I have a lot of ambition, passion and a very strong view on how things should be—how people should be—and I often find myself expressing that, most times to my demise. I’m not really one to hold back. My mind is going 100 mph constantly. Even when I try to sleep all I can do is think—making for too many sleepless nights. I want to do everything I can, and preferably all at once. My favorite thing to do is throw sh*t at the wall to see what I can make stick. I am a self starter and will do it all by myself if I have to and am known for doing exactly that.
I have been in charge of a lot in my days because of my self starting ways. I have been solely responsible for a lot of pretty big things. There hasn’t been much time in my life for having to ask people to do things more than once. I haven’t had much patience for ignorance, slackers or complainers with no solutions. And there is nothing I hate more than a liar or scammer and have been known to call one out in a hot second. This is where we come back to the conflict. Everything I have said is a Molotov Cocktail just waiting to explode. From my perspective this is because the majority of people fall into one of the above mentioned categories of complainers, slackers, liars and scammers. Most others will tell you it’s just because of my bad attitude.
So, I’m not sure if you noticed, but I will point out that some of what I am talking about is being mentioned in the past tense. That’s because as of late, I have felt very much at peace. It’s weird because I didn’t “realize” it until I noticed a lot of people mentioning that they have seen a difference in me. I chalk it up to a few things:
- I am older.
- I am not in charge of anything anymore that is of any consequence. No shop. No customers. No events. I am in charge of making web sites and other arty stuff, chatting on the internet and marketing (which I like to call throwing sh*t at the wall).
- All of the dead weight in our life has taken a hike—as in people.
- Dan is happy at work for the first time in a long time.
And that’s about it. The moral of the story? To be honest, I’m not even sure. I was just sitting here thinking about how good everything feels right now. I went off on a little tangent in my head on what caused the unrest to begin with and what may have changed and decided to write it down—since I have this cute little blog and all 
On to some car news? Sure, why not? Tomorrow is the final round of Triple Threat 3 brought to you by Southeast Drift at Turner Field and I’ll be durr driving my little heart out! Stay tuned for event coverage to come…probably accompanied by some pics from Marta’s new baller camera. That is if she can figure out how to use the right white balance for once. O0O0O0O B U R N !
