Wow... Ok. Somebody go kidnap Mother Nature and stuff her in de-tox for a while... that or put a few grams of lead in the back of her crack addled head... Bitch! Sun, rain and lovely weather for the holiday season, and the day I have to go back to work, it's white out conditions, driving in little grooves on the highway, freezing rain on top of blowing snow and wind that makes my little honda move SIDEWAYS while I'm toodling along the commute to work. Geezus.

Man... I had a great sleep last night... dunno what it was or what I was dreaming about but it must have been good. I was just very relaxed and comfortable when I woke up. Granted I woke up tired and groggy, but still.
Have you ever felt that uncomfortable in your own skin thing? I get that way sometimes when I'm getting dressed for work... and suddenly hate almost all of my clothes and realize the ones I still like are in the wash... Whatever causes it... and it's usually not clothing but just a sense of sudden loss-of-self-confidence... it can be really paralyzing. I remember being in San Fran on that conference years ago and ditching the pool playing buddies I was with to go dancing. I ended up in a bar called either Kitties or Bondage-A-Go-Go, depending on what night of the week it was... and my only purpose was to dance the night away. I bought the one drink I would have that night and proceeded to feel abysmal. I was self conscious and awkward. Like I had a dozen rolls of toilet paper stuck to my feet and a sign on my back that said "dork". Then I remember sitting down and considering my options... "Feel this way and stay", "Feel this way and go", or "Get the fuck over it". I walked onto a mostly empty dance floor when a good song came up and closed my eyes. I danced for about 20 minutes before I opened my eyes... I was in a sea of dancing people and that feeling was gone... and quite forgotten.
Never ... ever... give in to the feeling of being uncomfortable in your own skin. Your greatest successes will come to you when you fight it off... and it's your skin... if you can't find comfort in it... how can you expect anyone else to?
143... 143 all over the place yo. :D
