Kicking/Kicked Off

Say the word "kick." What does it mean to you? Does it sound weird to say? There is something about self-awareness that comes alive in the weeee hours of...well 10:46? Ok not that late.


the power of choice
Wow that is bigger. But I like it. And no, I'm not going to go off on some pro-choice rant. (And yes, I know beginning a sentence with a conjunction is improper grammar. I'm a copy editor, so I'm allowed to make glaring grammatical incongruities because that is how language(s) evolved and it is more fun to be naughty sometimes.) We all have choices. I chose to eat crap for dinner and now I'm feeling sort of sick. I chose to wipe off my monitor with my finger and now there is a smudge on my screen. Damn. Choices and consequences big and small. This is both awe inspiring and fear invoking.


There are many, many choices we make every day, but one thing those choices all have in common is that we make them. Stick to your guns and the universe will provide (or perhaps The Dude will depending on your frame of reference). Also, make sure you have guns. Then stick to them. You don't necessarily need multiple guns, but perhaps this is a moot point.  

This blog is dedicated to choices, realizations, emotions and most of all experiences. 
We are all made up of relatively the same kinds of atoms (correct me if I'm wrong) but who we are is shaped by the experiences we choose to have. Call me cheesy. Go on. Do it. 

okay, I'll be more specific 
This does not look as cool as "the power of choice" being bigger and bold, but I am going to stick to my guns and keep it formatted as is and own the lowercase-ness (something I hate in typography; however, it's my way of being sarcastic only toward myself). 


I had a choice to make today: should I try to stay on my freaking-out horse or should I just hit the ground and start over? I chose to hit the ground with half of my face/head, shoulder and knee. I've been thinking tonight not only about falling off but getting back on and starting over. It's nice to avoid disaster but also feels great to get shit out of the way and start over. One benefit to eating dirt is that you feel more accomplished when you eventually do get back up. This applies to other areas and disciplines of life too. Obviously.
