DREAM BIG

this morning, i actually rolled out of bed with the initial hum of my cell phone, at six o'clock sharp. usually, i lay there, drowsily pondering, and negotiating with myself to postpone departure for the office. however, this morning i had to pack. this weekend, i will be celebrating with some friends, at the lake, the last days as a bachelor for my friend ryan hawkins. with less "single-time" left than myself, ryan is filling out the last days of his bachelorhood.

excited about the possibility for this weekends events, and reflecting on my own progression towards marriage, i am becoming even more enthralled with my own dreams. i can't spend more than an hour without thinking about my girl and our big day. i find myself scouring the internet for information and insight into the photo/business world... and, i am excited.




i do not believe that i was created for the cubicle. alas, here i sit, on a friday afternoon, ear-piece afixed, drumming away at my keyboard, creating endless stacks of paper. i would much rather be enjoying a picnic with carlie, capturing a few photographs of that smile eminating from the corner of her eye, networking with other professionals, or taking a step back from my workflow to examine my progress. but, here i am... cubicle-living. i am "office space." fortunately for me however, nobody wants my stapler.

although i am not content to remain, i am content with where i am. because, i know where i am moving, and although i may not be at mach 3 yet, i revel those little moments of excitement matched with discontent. this seems to be a healthy mixture with which to dream big.
