The Facts of Life

You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.


When I was in the car driving to work the other day I was listening to an interview with Madonna on the radio. The Material Girl said something that made me think. She said she didn't think there was evil in the world. The way she saw it the bad things in life make way for good things or lessons learned. In a way, this made sense to me. Looking at my life, good has come out of bad things. I think in a weird way having gone through bad things makes you appreciate the good things.

In the breaking his foot last week I was like "Crap, I have to take him to work and pick him up everyday?" But I am finding I like taking him to work in the morning because I get to spend more time with him. The car ride is fun and in the morning it really only adds on 10 minutes to my commute and I get to take a new route to work that actually moves and doesn't involve sitting on the 2 trying to merge on Alvarado. Plus, I think we are doing the environment good by only taking 1 car.

I also don't mind picking him up after work because it forces me to leave work at 6pm and thus relieves my stress level a bit (although the car ride to pick him up is not so nice as the morning one). By taking him to work it has also forced me take my lunch to work because he always took his lunch. So when you make one lunch why not make another for yourself? By eating a handmade lunch I am less stressed that I am eating something bad from the commissary and thus gaining weight.

In breaking his foot, it has forced me to go to the gym to work out at lunch. I had already decided to join the studio's gym at the start of May but with the hub breaking his foot it forced me to have only one option to go, during lunch. By going to the gym it gets me out of the office for a much needed break and getting good exercise at the same time. I am not sure how the hub's life is working out with his broken foot but his bad thing has now turned my life into something good. Hopefully, I will have this new routine down and it will become the new norm.

With all the good things that you get, you may want to consider breaking his other foot.

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
