Giving up...

"I order the club sandwich all the time, but I'm not even a member, man. I don't know how I get away with it..." - Mitch Hedberg

It's amazing what opportunities present them self once you give up trying... Sounds a little far-fetched, I'm sure but that seems to be the story of my life. There comes a point when you try so hard for something that you lose yourself, and it's no longer fun. What's the point of doing anything if it's not fun? Granted not all work is going to seem fun, but there should be a payoff that's worth it in the end, whether it's a warm feeling, happiness for someone else, especially bringing glory to God, or whatever the case might be. I've reached that point, the point of giving up because where I end, Christ begins.

What a great day yesterday was! I'm following a principle one of my friends shared with me. Eat whole foods & nothing processed. If you saw my current diet compared to what I would've eaten a year ago, you'd shreke. I'm still eating cut-pealed carrots like candy. Funny advice I got from him was how to look at pizza. Of course I love pizza. I'm not as fond of the chain pizza places like Domino's or Pizza Hut, but I go for more of the gourmet style & local outfits. I'm sure I'll eat it again at some point, but he said to view pizza as "a slice of bread with a bunch of fat on it..." I'd never thought of it that way, but yeah pretty much! The last doctor's visit I had, he seemed pleased with my weight-loss, so it's going... literally.

I have a few wonderful comedy opportunities coming up, which I'm looking forward to. Other than that, nothing much else to report. I hope everyone is having a blessed week! Thank you for your continued support!

Forever In Christ,
