The Boxer
Ok, this morning I have been the Boxer...
For some reason, while putting on my shoes this morning and discovering a massive hole in the sock along the edge really set me off and I started turning into the evil version of meself. Thus annoying the wife on many levels... so for that I humbly apologize to my wife out here in the open.
Why is that? I mean I have walked tall through one crisis or another yet the very little things make me explode.
I now have a theory as to why I am this way.
Through the major things, the things I have 0 control over I shrug my shoulders and then roll along with the problem. Knowing full well I will get out of it eventually and that an hour later or a day later things will be really good. Now major things used to set me off in the past as well, but I have learned control over the last couple of years for those items,
Yet, the little minor crap I can control. The stuff that I should know better, or I can do something about, those are the items and events that set me off. I live simply, let me eat, get dressed and get to work and do my job. Once I am done, I come home, relax with the family and either watch TV, play a game, read a book (Sorry honey I crashed hard last night so I will read to you tonight). It seems that if anything I can control comes into direct opposite of me accomplishing any of these daily tasks... I get really annoyed and really REALLY annoying to those around me.
I am one of those screwed up people Christopher Titus talks about...lol

The fact that you recognize it, acknowledge it, and apologize for it is a positive thing. Self-knowledge is crucial to advancing as a human person.
