To keep those puppies at bay, i have found an access to pursue my deepest dreams. Perhaps that's an addiction of time....I spend plenty of my free time developing the business end of this dream for it to come into full reality. I don't watch TV (gosh, was a DVR Nazi!), haven't seen a movie in 3 or 4 months, rarely hang out and with my drinking buddies....my time is focused on staying sane, healthy, and choosing wisely the people I hang out with...perhaps we're growing up a little. Dang...2 years ago we were partying like rock stars!!! And now...some of us are feeling the repercussions of those days. No regrets on my end....simply turning the next page in the book of our lives.
Life has changed drastically for most of us. Many of the long-termer are having families, switching careers, and also..the long-term health side-effects are showing up. I hear of further people having blood sugar and pancreas problems. We are human, juggling our lives....yes...the surgery has affected us....and life goes on.
Interestingly enough, when I was in South Africa, many of the people I talked too felt sorry for Americans...we are dying of obesity...the bane of excess...to have such waste be the demise of our prosperity.
