Happy New Year and such. Everyone gets all introspective for the first few minutes of the new year as they evaluate their life and the expectations they've put on themselves. Are you where you want to be? Are you doing what you want to be doing? Are you as happy as you could be? Chances are most of these answers will be 'no' - that's okay, know that you're not alone. Everyone feels like they could be happier - the trick is being happy with what you have and yet agreeing to actively pursue MORE happiness. It can be done - or so I'm told...but when I think about how many people I know personally who are just happy with their lives...well, I get depressed because there aren't that many. Life sucks then you move on...no big deal :)

In other news I got one of those crazy work-out balls and have been having fun working out...those things are tough, man. I'm a little sweaty and sore afterwards. I pity the folks who are "Fitness Models" who have to workout behind the main instructor. They're never allowed to drop their smiles or look unhappy. And nevermind the fact that the lady who is in charge of my workout video keeps catcalling the poor girl in the back. "How's that feel for ya, Leslie-Ann?" "You still with me, Leslie-Ann?" "That hurt, Leslie-Ann?" Either they're lovers or Leslie-Ann pissed off the trainer. The poor guy in the back just gets ignored...he probably feels foolish for having to be the Exercise Ball guy anyway...I would be.
