Sunday thoughts
Relationship is like driving a car. When you think you are getting the hang of it, you run into a crash. When you drive all careful and keep your eye wide open for pedestrians, you miss the little dog that’s trying to cross the street and you run into it. When you try to rush over a yellow light, you run into the red light. When you drive real slowly and think that you are super safe, you get a ticket that you’re driving “too slow”. When you drive to pick up some food and don’t know where to go for the best restaurant, you start trying to think hard, really hard, and at the end of the day you still don’t know where to go. When a certain part in the car breaks down, you try to get it fixed, it gets fixed up but eventually the exact same part that you replaced just break down again. When you think driving is risky and stop driving altogether, you miss driving and end up driving again. When you’ve tried to fix the same part that’s been breaking down again and again, you end up fixing it up “one last time”, even though it’s the 49th time that it breaks down. When you get into an accident and try to file a claim, the more you complain/yell at the insurance company, the less favorable you are and the less money you will be getting back. But at the end of the day, you still love driving and treat your car as best as you can.
I’ve been thinking about useful and useless stuff for most of the day, if not the entire day. Have been thinking too much lately, so insanely busy from everything - work project due in 1 week; renovation related stuff (big headache); broken harddrive that will take me $1600 to fix (may not even be possible) and constantly been feeling really bad about it; travel dates/destination; bills (overly crazy for this month), car service (2500km overdue); being unable to take photographers due to the cold and gloomy whether and feeling uneasy; having no time to practice a piano piece that I’ve been practicing prior to the renovation; infinite amount of items that I have to sell on craigslist in order to clear up some room for my room; no time to read the travel magazine that I paid $7 to buy; no time to get the ingredient to be able to make a cup of HK style milk tea; no time to read all the books that I borrowed from the library and ended up overdue and fined $10; no chance to clean up the gym area in the garage in order to start weight training again; haven’t had a chance to start playing Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360, no chance to start learning about stock which I planned to start on since a month ago; and of course, trying hard to be able to devote most, if not all of my time and effort to maintain a good relationship with gf.
I can go on and on, the list will never end. I’m not good at managing my time, I’m trying hard to improve, but it’s tough. I think I need about 50 hours a day. Or, to have an ability to survive with no sleep so that I can work 24/hrs a day. Life is short, I want to get everything done before it’s too late. Is that possible?
