What is original now?
It seems like everything 'new' is recycled from another lifetime.
Has it really all been done before? Sometimes I feel like it has.
What do you need to do to stand out? To be noticed?
What sets you apart from everyone else? What makes me different...special....
I think I feel a little less original every day...

Work's Influence on Life's Rituals....
I work, approximately, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week.
I still glance at emails on my Blackberry over the weekend because I hate walking into a shit-storm on Monday morning.
I tend to live out of a suitcase, bounce from airport to airport, and a nice home cooked meal rarely occurs more than once a week.
I carry two phones, two laptops and have essentially two of everything you would ever need in a toiletries bag, (one stays at home, the other never gets unpacked)
I almost always forget my bathing suit.
I hate checking a bag, so I never have shampoo, conditioner or body wash. I rely heavily on the hotel for this.
The one thing, aside from clothing, that I never forget to pack is this:
It's my pill box. Not filled with daily pills as the labels might imply. Instead I like to keep a decent supply of the following:
This isn't my entire life, just a portion of it. But right now, I'm in a hotel, alone, and this is all I can think of writing about.

- Advil - because headaches, especially migraines, are no fun
- Calcium Pills - I think these are in here because at one time I thought I should be taking them.
- Multivitamins - there is always someone on the plane who is sick and you're stuck sharing air with them.
- Immodium - no one wants to be on the road with the runs
- Robaxacet - we all know that plane rides are never comfortable and are killer on your back
- Gravol - Some people take for nausea, I take them to help sleep on large time zone differences
- More Advil - because you can never have too much...
This isn't my entire life, just a portion of it. But right now, I'm in a hotel, alone, and this is all I can think of writing about.

At a Loss for Words....
Some just don't know what to say and never say anything.
Some have too much to say and always say everything.
And some wait too long and their idea is hollow.
It no longer applies, the thought is gone and the point is moot.
If you always speak your mind, you're too opinionated and overbearing.
If you never get it out, you're too quiet and a pushover.
The Opinionated overbear the Stoic and force them into a deeper silence.
When will we get to the point where we listen as much as we speak?
Eliminate the oppression of the Outspoken and Liberate the Silent.
