Productivity.

Productivity-A figmant of your imagination. This is something I have learned from working at the library.  No matter how many books you put away there is always more to put away. Work is literally a prepetual entity.  There is always work to be done. I can't remember a time when there wasn't something I had to do. Even when I was a kid before I started school I had something that needed to be done.

It seems to be a hole we dig ourselves into.  If we don't stay on top of it the work piles up and we are behind.  It's a sick cycle. 

I am writing this because it is 7:21 and I am being unproductive.  I have worked all day and I don't feel like working anymore.  But if I don't I will be behind and then where am I going to be? Three days behind because of the work I put off today. 

But that is where I am at right now and that is where I am going to stay for the night. 

God Speed,

Joey

I am literally the worst blogger ever.

I say I am going to do this on the regular but then I forget I have it and let it go for 2 months at a time.  But guess what I am organized now so all I have to do is write it in my planner and shit will get done.  But there is only one glaring problem: I don't know how to use this thing.  I mean I know how to use it I just don't know what to use it for.  There is the everyday life of joey or there is the random thoughts the go in and out of my head every moment that I could elaborate on or there is me working at being more positive.

Right  now I am on here because I am drawing a blank on how to continue a thank you letter to my fellow teachers where I work.  They helped me out big time this past week by giving my classroom a look of well how a classroom should look.  Their help and selflessness gave me the sense that I am part of a family and not just a team of people.

Ok, it's time to go back to this letter because it's almost time for me to go to bed.

Much Love,
Joey

Hello Again,

I have been away for awhile living my life and such but hopefully I am back. Not everyday of course because I am too busy but hopefully more often then not.

Basically I have been doing nothing but work for the past two and a half weeks.  Except for the two weekends before last when I was down the beach then I was at Fest. But anyways I have been working tire fully the past two and a half weeks.  I am beyond overwhelmed right now and am worried I will fail miserably.  However I will try to keep posting on a regular basis maybe once a week or so. You know something new and exciting. Or maybe I won't we shall see.

Anyway goodnight.

Happiness

What we all strive for in life is Happiness. Our own reason to smile. Our own reason to wake up in the morning and be excited because we are alive.  I am trying to change my frame of mind and become a more positive and happy person with a reason to walk out of the house with a smile on my face no matter what the world is like that day. 

I have decided to read two books on this journey of self correction.  Book 1 is called Born To Be Good by Dacher Keltner and Book 2 is called How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.  I will start these books today (I will read one at a time) while trying my best to be as kind and helpful and generous to as many people as possible.  In the words of Shay Carl "The only person that can make you mad is yourself." He means that you are the only person that is in control of how you feel. 

I will leave you with two things today. First, live the life you want to live. Be has happy as you want. I can tell you mine will be as joy filled as I can make it. Second is a quote from the Dalai Lama

"I travel to many places around the world, and whenever I speak to people, I do so with the feeling that I am a member of their own family. Although we may be meeting for the first time, I except everyone as a friend. In truth, we already know one another, profoundly, as human beings who share the same basic goals: We all seek happiness and do not want suffering."

Much Love,
Joey.

Fail Blog?

Today I did nothing except work and sit around the house.  And as midnight rolls around I started watching some old Shayloss videos.  So I think to myself what ever happened to my diet.  Then I think my life has made some drastic changes in the past three and a half months and it's time to start that diet back up.  Here is the run down of the past twoish weeks.

Last week I get a call from the Colonial School District office. They want to set up an interview with me for a teaching position.  Hearing this I am ultra excited and scared at the same time.  So I start preparing for this interview with mock interviews with assistant principals and my friends dad (principal). 
This past week the interview rolls around and it was decent not great not horrible.  Also my portfolio was graded on the same day.  Got the portfolio back and needed to fix some stuff.  Then Thursday happens.  My last day of student teaching (very sad day) my class is amazing, but this is a run down in the interest of time I skip those details.  Upon leaving I want to stop in to the office to sign out for the last time as a student teacher.  I get waved down by Miss. Debbie and she tells me the district called and they want me to call back. So I go into the conference room and Erin dials because I would have dialed wrong because of my shaking.  Anyway the district lady answers and says "Hi Joey, I was calling because we have a position for you and we wanted to know if you were interested?" I reply "Definitly!" "Great. That is what we wanted to hear. I will give you to my secretary to set up when you can come in to sign everything." 
At the end of my student teaching I was offered a job and I am really excited and proud and happy and everything else. 

Now though I feel because my life is looking up I should keep making improvements to my life.  So i think i will start making healthy choices in my diet and activities.  I start running tomorrow when I wake up.

I feel I have good reason for not posting yesterday.  I substituted for a 4th grade and they were horrible and I was tired and needed a drink after work yesterday. That and I went bowling and came home and fell asleep right away.  However, today was much better because of the great news I got this morning.

I walked in to school and my princepal told me to call the district office lady that observed me two weeks ago.  I GOT AN INTERVIEW. Shamone! So Tuesday I go in for the interview and I am freaking out because this is big.  But tonight is crunk night because I haven't been out in quite some time.
