Have you ever thought of something and before you could market it you found out that someone else already has created it. That's what my blog is this week. I've been sweating life, sweating bills, sweating things that do not deserve an ounce of my sweat. Missy and I were talking last night. We found ourselves wondering what real life is. The answer we came up with: real life is not spent at work. Real life is the rest of your non-sleeping hours. The evenings and weekends are not designed for you to rest up so you can be better at work. Work is designed so that you can enjoy your evenings and weekends without worrying about money. But it seems that most people have that backwards. Most people get so focused on their job that everything else takes second place. At work they stress themselves out, burn themselves out, and mold themselves to a performance mentality so that someone way down the line will have a nice computer program, or so that someone will buy a product that they are killing themselves at some other job to get. Why do we let ourselves get so worked up over a boss who demands that we dance to the silly tune of "my job is my life, the rest is just here for a distraction." So, with this in my mind, today I read a blog at an exercise site I use to motivate myself. The blog is unabashedly a double barrell middle finger to middle American suburban life, but it hit paydirt within me. So just go here if you want to read it:
