Change is rampant.

Change has been the theme of the past couple of months in my life. Major change. This train has jumped it's tracks, and it's heading in yet again, a new direction.

Friday night my father propositioned me. He stated that he'd have an opening for a job within his company, paying significantly higher than I make at the bike shop now. Well this was like a gift from Heaven if you ask me... and I took it.

I gave Bill Sr. my letter of resignation, and apologized for leaving when I am. I told him my reasoning, and he responded emotionally instead of logically. Pretty much how I anticipated it. He says I'm leaving a huge void and that I'm screwing them... when in all reality I'm trying to fill the void he ripped in my heart a year ago on that faithful day. Having a father-figure tell you to go F yourself is not fun, in fact, it hurts badly.

I've adopted a new philosophy. The 90/10 principle. This principle simply states that 10% of what happens to you in your life is completely unavoidable.. some would call it fate. The remaining 90% is how you deal with the circumstances of that fateful 10%. This philosophy teaches that you can blame your problems on other people for as long as you want to, but you can't learn and grow until you come to a certain understanding. That is, that your problems are yours for a reason... because you created them.

I am ready for new things, new experiences, new people, new friends.

TWX for now, SF soon. My state of mind has changed. I'm almost at peace. 6 more work days. Wish me luck.
