Time is the Essence

Oct 06 2011

I know what it says. “Time is the essence”. I intentionally left out the word “of” between “is” and “the”.  I am not talking about punctuality. I am talking about free time. Time to enjoy life and all the wonderful things it has to offer.

Too many people work their butts off making “the man” rich until they are old enough to retire and they look back and think about all the shit they didn’t do. I say “do the shit”. Recently I have come to the realization that free time is far too valuable to be squandered. If you enjoy working 50-60+ hours per week for your boss, have at it. I will see you on the flip side and there is a chance my smile will be bigger. I am done chasing the wind and fighting the good fight. Money will be made and it will soon after be spent. It comes and goes like microwave popcorn or toilet paper. Find something you enjoy doing and go after it.  Spend the money and/or time it takes to seek it out and grab it by the gonads. Never let go. If anyone gets in your way tell them to step aside or suffer the consequences. Life is too short.

I play guitar and sing in a band. I ride a Harley Davidson Street Bob. I have a beautiful, loving wife who teaches kindergarten. I have two adorable dogs who like to cuddle. I have a caring, loving family. My goal is to create more and more free time for myself and Sara. If you call or send me an email I may not reply immediately. Do not take it personal, I am enjoying life and cherishing every free second.  Life has become too busy in recent months and I have learned some valuable lessons. It is now time to make more time for me and mine (sounds funny but go with it).
