Embracing Change

‎"You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, well you just might find you get what you need."

There's been a lot of change in my life recently. And to be honest, I was hesitant about a lot of it. It wasn't exactly the kind of change I wanted. No one wants to get laid off. No one wants to part ways with the people they love.

BUT

I'm feeling good about it now. Because even though things didn't happen the way I wanted them to doesn't mean they aren't happening the way they're supposed to. Or they way I actually need them to. 

There's a lot of good things happening in my life right now. And if I hadn't learned to embrace all the changes life threw at me, I wouldn't where I am.

So yeah, The Rolling Stones were right. 

On Driving in Houston

I love it. Houstonians know how to drive. Seriously, it's brilliant driving. Here's how it works (and why I love it):

If you want to change lanes, you just go for it. Aggressive driving wins. Turn signals are for suckers. Because if you signal that you need in the other lane, there's no way in hell anyone will let you over. If you just go for it, people let you in. It's efficient. It's aggressive. It's my kind of driving.

So if nothing else, the driving here makes me love this city.

Plan of Awesomeness Update

It's been awhile since I've posted and I've been busy. Since my last post I've:

• Parted ways with my last job
• Accepted a gig in Houston
• Worked on a lot of art projects
• Celebrated the holidays with family and friends
• Had an AMAZING farewell tour, saying goodbye to all the awesome people I know in KC
• Watched my Horned Frogs win the Rose Bowl
• Cheered my Chiefs into the playoffs
• Consumed way too many drinks
• Became a temporary regular at O'Dowds in Zona Rosa
• Packed my apartment
• Received my last teddy bear hug for the time being
• Laughed, cried, loved and left
• Drove 13hrs straight to begin my new adventure
• Started my new gig

So, like I said, I've been busy. And despite the circumstances behind my departure, I couldn't be happier. Okay, that's not true - I'd be happier if I didn't have to miss people. But besides that, I couldn't be happier. 

K, gotta jet. I need to get back to kicking ass in Houston. Later.
