why do i sling burgers and beers to the point of exhaustion to pay the bills?

So I am free to live the life I want to live of course.

Like today for instance:

Wake up late after being on my feet running around working 12 hours yesterday, walk out of my fantastic apartment in a fantastic city, to get a coffee outside my back door because I live in a fantastic neighborhood, then sip that coffee as I walk around my fantastic neighborhood checking out menus to scope food I might eat later after I meet up with my friend who is visiting from California. Then back up to my fantastic apartment with all the windows open and sit on the couch to relax for a few. Jump in the shower, play a little bit of cheesy dance party music including Young MC; Bust a Move (Oh yeah- I claimed that. You know you love it)- and off to farmers market out my front door. Today; Eats, drinks, being merry, exploring and enjoying time with fantastic people, then falling asleep dreaming of all the other fun times I will have doing the above again because I can.

Sure makes every time I ask “How do you want that burger cooked sir?” a little more palatable.

Here’s to wanting something, getting up everyday, busting your ass to earn every last bit of it, then relishing in it all.

It’s all out there for the taking. What are you waiting for?
