Prelude to a Muddy Mess

Wow, there are some days when I really need nap time.

Yes, today would definitely be one of those days. At least it's Friday, right?

I stayed up somewhat late last night watching the NCAA Tournament. Of course, the night ended in a rather disappointing fashion as both Duke and Memphis lost. I didn't have either of them winning the championship, but it still screwed up my bracket quite a bit. I don't have any money on this, but it's more of a pride thing. Brackets can be sacred.

It's also the first week back to work after having an entire week off for Spring Break. And it's March. Just a little more than two months...

This weekend is going to be out-of-the-ordinary and probably pretty challenging. I am participating in the Marine Mud Run in Fort Worth. I've been trying to do more push-ups and things to work on my upper-body strength, but we shall see how this goes. To make things more difficult, I think it's supposed to be cold on Sunday morning. I'm not sure how I feel about drenching myself in cold mud, but I'm certain that it won't be the most pleasant thing in the world.

So why I am doing this? Good question.

Life has been rather confusing lately, and I wish I could find some complacency. I know it's not always good to be complacent, but I guess I just don't want to be going at a million miles an hour every second of my life. It would also be nice to know if I really am where I'm supposed to be and if this is where I am supposed to stay.

Sometimes I just feel like I over-commit myself, and then I get too far into things to be able to get out easily. This becomes a big problem when I volunteer to do so many things, because then you have people relying on you. If you opt out, you aren't just affecting yourself. You could be screwing up a lot of things for a lot of people.

I was remembering back to elementary school when my biggest concerns were how I would do in my weekend soccer game or whether or not my mom would let my best friend sleep over on Friday night. When did things get so complicated?

Oh, yeah. When I became an adult.

I'm not so sure it's all it's cracked up to be.

Looking back, this is a rather negative outlook I'm portraying, so I think I will cash in for the moment.

At least it's Friday, right?
