springing ahead

it’s one of those reflective sundays. You know, rain beating at your window.Your apartment all quiet only the humming of your laptop or ipad mixed in with the radiator sizzling. Sitting  quietly while your mind goes sir crazy. You’ve watched every channel cable has to offer. Nothing musically is appealing to you. Basically just throwing cards in a hat. sitting in some kind of prison  waiting to be let out .It could be prison but it’s Winter. Usually winters aren’t really hard on me since being from the east coast and nothing too bad has happened (This year the snow was a little too much for me to handle), But I guess the addition to weight loss .I actually feel the cold now , not like before I had some extra.. err.. padding.But really felt the affect to what it does to a body. So what do you do?.. you grow a beard. Looking back it was def. a bad thing for me. Last year i grew one and didn’t care, shaved it a few times then left it off for the winter. But this one was grown way early. Earlier than expected i think it made me give up on what i was meant to do . Knowing that the coldest winter was on it’s way. and just laid down my arms and didn’t fight. I am mad at myself for doing that.Usually i don’t buy into this kind of stuff .But with February  being the shortest (longest) and coldest month out there. I had to get rid of it to spring ahead i guess. It was a great feeling.Triumphant even though the cold was still apparent. Getting it ‘s last licks in before the seasons change while the sun shines. But within the days that’s it been gone. I am making a change in my life… but does it mean for the worse or the better?Instead of change i think it’s evolution.Everyone is consistently evolving these days. music , culture, some for the bad some for the great good. One thing you need to do when you evolve is to recharge all of that energy to do so. This is the step i am taking. For me It must happen it feels liek I have been going 600mph for three years now. My motto in life is Sharks Keep Moving. I think i took it too literal and keep hunting to survive. I think it’s time pump the brakes and see what it’s like with life as steadier pace. I guess time is going to tell if and when the next time i sit in front of this blog and ramble on outcomes and conclusions to this story.
