the OC

 I have this obssessive-compulsive tendency. It usually is under control but when I'm stressed out, the control goes away. I was just thinking about these past few months and I realized that the 2 best decisions I've made in the past 5 months had nothing to do with proper planning and careful assessment.

The 1st was entering that group dance class at the gym. It just happened that all the attendees that day were female and I really didn't have any talent in dancing. I was just staring at the class for a few minutes and just decided to go in and join. Never regretted doing that since.

The 2nd happened was on Chinese New Year's day. I was pissed off because of the schedule changes in my duty and I had to stay a few hours longer at work. I ended up with an iPhone 4S that evening which was and is totally worth the cost.

It seems that the major decisions I make are either when my stress levels are peaking or when I'm stupidly infatuated with someone (and finding that someone is stressing me out). Today is a holiday. I shouldn't be on duty. But I am. And I'm angry. I'm trying to find a way to calm down but so far nothing comes to mind. This is one of those times when I'm bound to do something stupid.

  1. Learning to flow with life is one of the most difficult aspects of my journey. I want to be in control but only seem to find life when I let go of control.

  2.  i'm kinda afraid of letting go... I make stupid decisions most of the time when emotions get the better of me and I just "go" with the flow.

  3. I'm not really thinking emotions Rygel. Might want to check out something I wrote a few years ago at http://redeemed.kansasbob.com/2006/03/control.html when you get a few minutes. Take care.
