Go West, Young Man

My good friend, Brandon, is driving from the East Coast to the West Coast this week in a move that has been in the making for a few years.  He's going west to pursue dreams he has been patiently building.  And the west is where he will begin to really realize his dreams.  All week I've had the phrase "Go West Young Man" stuck in my head when I think about the courage Brandon has to make this move.  I'm so proud of him for taking the chances and the risks anyone has to take if they want to see their dreams become reality.  Brandon is a movie dude.  He reviews them, he talks about them, hosts an insanely cool Oscar party every year and now he's gonna write one!  I love this song because it seems like the soundtrack to Brandon's road adventure this week, traveling west to pursue the dream.  So B, go west but just know I'm also expecting the great American novel to come from you at some point as well! :)

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
