I think I've been in some sort of depressed slump lately.

[Luke]

Thanks for all the support and stuff guys.

I got some much needed time out of the house today and can definitely say it helped me get on the way out of this rut I'm in. I even got lucky enough to grab a few extra shifts at work this week by being in there at the right time.

Fuck yeah buddy. Good on you.

I won't claim to Know everything, but I do know most of us get stuck in that rut. Life is all about perspective, trust me on that. It's easier said than done, but once you realize the world is your oyster, things just keep getting better. There will always be hurdles ahead, tough ones to clear at that, but if you approach them with the perspective of trying to learn from them, life just changes for the better.

Some say it is depressing, I think it is a good reminder: Today could be the last day of your life, make the most of it.

Anti-depressants are notorious for causing suicide in young adults.

If I lived everyday like it was the last day of my life, I would be in an underground bomb shelter, everyday.

There's nothing in the pill that speaks to you or convinces you to kill yourself. The thought has to be there in your head before doing it. But the real problem is that some doctor's just aren't responsible enough to keep the ones with serious mental and emotional problems off these sorts of drugs to begin with. They should know it's a gamble

Well, it takes dif'frent strokes.

For the first time in my life, I've been dealing with heavy stress. I have a multi million dollar business launching this Thursday, and getting everything to meet the launch date has made me lose sleep, my is full of knots, and I was pretty much a mess.

Then I changed my perspective. I realized that the people funding this believe in me. My family and friends believe in me. I'm more aggressive than my competitors, and I may not have their experience, but I'm younger and they don't have an MBA. I've owned two businesses before. Yes, my future depends on this job, but I realized I needed to manage my stress. So I came home after lunch today, fucked my beautiful wife (she even wore sexy lingerie for me), and now I'm posting with a great group of guys here at racketboy. Do I have a lot of work to do? Yes. Will I get it all done? Yes. Do I have time to stop and smell the roses? Well, everyone should.

I'm going to do some quality work today, I'll have a beer or three, then hit the sack early (you kids laugh, but wait. some days 8pm will feel like 4am. you laugh, just wait), wake up, and then start the grind again.

So, I've got a huge company launch, a stand up gig in Chicago (currently testing material at open mics), and I'm speaking at the University next month that I graduated from (three times). Lots on my plate, but as long as I keep it all in perspective and realize how lucky I am, it is all good.

Either I heard this somewhere or just a thought. I think it has some merit.

Certainly.

I "apologized" to a girl at work because I tore her ppoint presentation (that no one asked her to make) a new one. I wasn't mean, but was blunt. The thing was 40 fucking slides. 3 of the slides had some relevance, it could have been a one page document. I'm a guy that when I got a C on a paper, I wanted to know how to make that an A. It's all about progression. This chick can't take criticism. At all. I basically told her I'll "try" to sugar coat things for her, but she needs to be able to accept criticism in order for her to increase her work performance (I still don't know what the fuck she actually does other than data entry).

Here's the funny part: She was the female wolf mascot for NC State for a brief stint. After my "apology", we discussed our schools rivalries. She went on on how she was on the Cheerleading team, and I couldn't help but say "Wait, wait. You were the mascot. The mascot is not considered a cheerleader". What I wanted to say is "Bitch please, they covered your ugly ass and put you in a costume".

Oh well.

Um, but yeah, perspective.
