Let's be honest, there are a lot of things that suck in life and it is hard to always be positive.  Tonight I want to write about two of them.

The first thing that sucks is dishonesty. It sucks when you are dishonest - because you feel bad about it, sometimes you get caught, you get stuck in a web, etc...  And it sucks when other people are dishonest. It hurts, stings, makes you wonder how/if you can trust anyone again.

Dishonesty is the worst.

The second thing that totally sucks is when you see the potential in someone - or maybe something - but the person doesn't see it in themselves. Or doesn't care to see it. They just do what they do when they do because it feels good in the moment - or it is easy in the moment - or they just aren't thinking.

We hear the phrase, 'just do your best' on occasion. We start hearing it when we're little. I remember my 2nd grade teacher said it almost everyday. It would be so awesome if people just naturally did their best. It would be so awesome if we didn't settle for mediocre. It would be so awesome if we demanded to live according to the potential that is in us.

So - although I try and be positive and write about the things I am thankful for life just sucks sometimes! Sometimes it sucks bad!

Luckily, the sucky moments are just moments and then the good moments take over.

Now - a few recent good moments.




2:30 on a Wednesday night looking for a Taco Bell.



My new friend Emily on the Ferris Wheel



Megan, Farq, Me and Ang on a Wednesday. I had to work the next morning at 8. Not smart.



And for something totally unrelated: 

Unfortunately this was not taken by me - but fortunately I will have one of these someday.
