Spring is here!

Spring has officially arrived and I spent the day doing a couple of my favorite outdoor activities to ring in the new season.........smoking shisha and smoking meat on the grill! There's nothing like enjoying the cool days of early spring sitting outside in jeans, flip-flops, and a jacket with the sun on your face and toes while smoking some flavored tobacco. Add a cool beer and some good conversation with a good friend and you have an awesome way to spend the afternoon. Top all of that with some salmon on the grill with some big red bell peppers and it just doesn't get much better than that........unless, of course, if my Nets could pull out a victory against The Lebrons!

But hey, you can't have everything you want in this world........but I already know that......

Love can lead to great things.....

such as the Taj Mahal or a beautiful painting or a lovely poem or a heart warming song. There are so many good things that can come out of the powerful emotion that is.........love. What I still struggle with is this; if someone has love in their heart, how can they also be capable of such horrendous acts? How can they be so hurtful to someone that they love?

I loved her.........more than anyone I had ever loved........I knew it too. I loved the little things too; the flash in the eyes, the grumpy look in the early morning hour, the smell of her hair and all of the tiny quirks and imperfections that made her amazing to me. I loved all those things and more and yet, I was so hurtful to her. I made a horrendous mistake and in the process I hurt someone who I loved tremendously.

How could I have done that?

Fast Fwd?

Have you ever wanted to press fast forward on your life? I just can't wait to get to Charleston this year! I know, it's March and I'm already thinking about the end of May, but it's true.......I just can't wait to get there. I can't wait for the warmth of the sand between my toes, I can't wait for a cold beer on a hot afternoon, I can't wait for the tan, I can't wait to just get to a point where I'm laughing at everything Huskey has to say because well, sometimes he just has funny things to say.........but most importantly, I just can't wait to see my friends again and share some good times and good memories.

Charleston........man, how I love that city and the good times that I have there every year!

More later.....
