The Bubble Burst?

Why is that reality, when it comes from others, presses down on dreams and ambitions? Why do people hear in those dreams and ambitions fear and I hear a chance for change. Certainly I'm not ignoring the realities of mortgage, school bills and yet no full-time job and still not quite steady freelance work. But to be in the flow and excitement of something big, just seems to make the smaller tasks easier to do. And of course, I do know what my priorities are and my most immediate goals. I'm sure that my family will have something to say about this matter, since I've been a dreamer my entire life and probably, in some ways, can get lost in the dream. (Or least appear that way).

I didn't think Pittsburgh would be as nice a city as it was nor did I think it would make me think of Dad. But of course, aided by a drink or two, made me a tad bit reminiscent of him. I'm guessing it was because the last time I was in Pittsburgh was with him, a very long time ago, to see the Steelers play the Giants in a pre-season game. I'm so glad that our last sporting event together was the Giants game versus the Cowboys on that Monday night. One, because there's nothing more fun than a Monday Night Football game, two because we were in Giants Stadium and three because we were playing the Cowboys. I'm not sure why this seemed so much more important than a Yankees game, since we both shared that passion as well, but it did. Of course, I had no idea it would be our last sporting event together but life is that way, you never know when it will be your last day to do something you love. So, without sounding to cliche, it just shows how important it is to make the most of everyday that you do have. No matter how frustrating the day maybe, find a way to make it something better for you, if at all possible.

Will be searching today for a way to tighten the hinges on my laptop. I'm using a box that Izzy decorated to support the screen for the time being. And as far as the bubble, it's not really burst, I fixed the leak. : ^ )
