Palace and Pakistani Punches

El Paso has been good to me. I've spent my time here watching movies, playing made-up card games w/ made-up names, making deviled eggs, and learning new wrestling moves from my little brother. This vacation has brought some much needed silliness and relaxation in contrast to these recent few weeks, which have been turbulent to say the least.

I return home in a few days and am feeling uneasy. I have never known someone who has had a more difficult time following their heart than myself (although I'd like to). I realize my strong-headedness is as much a blessing as it is a curse and I will definitely have to open myself up to people if I am to make any progress. Wish me luck with this incredibly difficult task.

On the bright side, I look forward to progress of ANY kind in 2009. I might go so far as to take on the Yes-Man lifestyle and see where that takes me. I mean, what do I have to lose?

Wednesday

Almost done with the book. Today's fortune:

Assessing how to go forth with getting things organized, both projects and people should keep you very busy at this time. You could find this a time of unwavering study and thought, as you are not prone to take people's opinions to heart, without first investigating their motives. They must have some form of authority or evidence and above all else, practical worth and application, to even be worthy of consideration. You could find those around you feeling a big sense of appreciation or value for your feelings or your endowment to act and get things done. Someone will understand just how you feel and be sympathetic to your ideas. You are able to tap into a well-spring of inspiration now. Your dreams seem set to become reality and success is imminent.
