"I want to get away....."

Finally.... a break.

*takes a deep breath*

Winter term complete. 

There is some very valuable lessons I have already learned from being in school again. Lessons beyond the actual classes I have been taking. One of those lessons is that I have many maintenance type activities that must be done to keep me going in a healthy direction. Those things have been hard to keep up with while in school and working full time. 

The other lesson is that time is more precious than I already thought it was. 

Winter term is done and so I can take a breather. Well...kind of. I’m still playing catch up. This term I tried harder to make working out and finding more “me” time as bigger priorities into my already busy schedule. Well, this term I did do better at working out and creating some fun time for myself. However, when trying to balance so many things something always gets put on the back burner. This term that thing that got put on the bottom of my to do lists was cleaning. Not so bad my place is destroyed, but for me its definitely not up to par. My home is kind of a direct reflection of my mind and myself. So, when it’s cluttered it becomes harder for me to think or focus. So, it has been neglected a bit over the last few months. I’m currently trying to change that as much as I can before the spring term starts on April 1st and before I leave to go to visit my cousin in Arizona for a few days. Between appointments, errands, working out, cooking, and cleaning I have been a very busy boy. 

But this is spring break... I should have a little more time on my hands right? Not when you’re as focused as I am and working full time. To do the things I’m doing for my health it doesn’t leave much time for much else. I don’t remember the last time I watch a full movie at home and reading has been halted as well. Thats just the way it goes when you get older I have found. Also, I guess I'm a parent in training because I know having a kid does make your life this kind of busy or at least more prepared if such a thing should happen. 

I have also realized while being in school that I have two modes in my life apparently. It’s either crazy busy or I have too much time on my hands. The trick is finding that middle ground between those two modes in my life. That is what I’m continually working on. I can say that over the 3 terms I have done so far I’m getting better at doing so and at least progressing in this area. 

Finals this time around was a lot harder because I was struggling a bit in my math class.  So, I locked myself down and I spent a lot of time studying. Which I believe paid off because I feel I did well for my math final.  Over all I really liked my classes this term especially when it comes to how I scheduled them. 

Okay on to the song of the week. I have actually already picked this song last year around the same time and I’m picking it for the same reason this week. It is now my anthem for going on vacation. It is technically spring now here in Oregon and over the last week it definitely hasn’t felt like it. Winter is having a really hard time making an exit. Well, I’m breaking up with Oregon for a few days and heading south. Hopefully when I come back Oregon will have figured itself out and realized it is actually spring now and so it will start acting accordingly. So, I’m off to catch a plane today to take me to the Southwest. This will be my second time visiting my cousin Jason in Arizona. I have been watching the weather down there and it’s been in the 80’s all week. I can dig that. I need some relaxation and some warmth. With all that said today is the day I fly away. There is no song for me that fits the feeling of wanting to get away than Lenny Kravitz’s song “Fly Away”. So, let the guitar riff get stuck in your head and let the beat carry you away.... Fly away.... Let the vacation begin! 

I wish that I could fly 

Into the sky 

So very high 

Just like a dragonfly 

I'd fly above the trees 

Over the seas in all degrees 

To anywhere I please 

Oh I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah yeah yeah 

Oh I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah yeah yeah 

Let's go and see the stars 

The milky way or even Mars 

Where it could just be ours 

Let's fade into the sun 

Let your spirit fly 

Where we are one 

Just for a little fun 

Oh oh oh yeah ! 

I want to get away 

I want to fly away                         

Yeah yeah yeah 

I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah yeah yeah 

I got to get away 

Feel I got to get away 

Oh oh oh yeah 

I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah with you yeah yeah 

Oh Yeah ! 

I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah with you yeah yeah 

I got to get away 

I want to get away X4 

Yeah 

I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah with you yeah yeah 

I got to get away 

I want to get away X4 

Yeah 

I want to get away 

I want to fly away 

Yeah with you 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

As always I bring this to you with love and pure D-lite. = ) 

P.S. I will try to bring the sun and warmth back with me. ;- )
