Work work work

It's interesting how life goes through these peaks and valleys, one minute you're busy the next you're not. There's not enough work or there's too much work. Friends, social commitments, work, play; as we age and mature, at what point do we stop grasping desperately for whatever is just out of our reach and learn to just enjoy the ride? Speaking for myself, I have reached the point where I can recognize my disfunction, how much longer until I can put it into the lessons learned pile and move on?

So...

Random things that bug the shit out of me:
Why does anyone give a rats ass what a celebrity does?
Why do so many people think they are the center of the universe?
What makes these mother's taking their children to Las Vegas Day School think it's okay to drive 40+ mph down my street, the speed limit is 25?! How about I come to your neighborhood and drive 45 down your street?
Will common courtesy ever come back in style?
What's up with the fake hugs? Is it so wrong to want some personal space if I don't know you?
And what's up with caring so much about what some celebrity does? (sorry, I can't get past that one)

I realize these things that bug me are all really manifestations of my own ego that I project on people but it still feels good to put it out there. If we put it out there are we adding negativity to the universe or does it help release the negativity that builds up when we hold it in? If I can come up with the answer to that question I can probably find some freakin' enlightenment.

My dog doesn't care

So why should I? Actually, both of my dogs do care, quite a bit. One of them tends to be quite the worrier which sort of dismisses the idea that a dog's life is all cookies and fun. He is quite the tragic figure most times; never really able to recover from a crappy first year and a half before we stumbled into his life and spoiled him rotten. It's been almost 10 years but he still frets over the small stuff. Lately his worries stem from a little boy who has just entered our lives, he wants to know why it cries and why his people spend so much time working over the little being. I think he especially wants to know why exactly the schedule has been thrown for such a loop; in his life there are times we go to bed and times we get up and those are out the window now as they are when any baby is brought home. In spite of that though he is quite gentle with the baby boy and always lets us know when the little being cries. Shouldn't be too much longer and we'll get the dogs out for their walks and get a tighter schedule that they can relate too and they'll settle in with the new roommate. (so says the brand new parent!)
