wow, i am beat tired. is it possible to sleep too much. i was tired yesterday, but today it seems worse. after getting home yesterday, i fell asleep on the couch, and i lounged there until 1030. sleeping some, and watching tv. then to bed, i was only awake enough to have the cat lay on my chest.
i have been thinking a lot again lately. i tend to do that. i have been spending too much time on work and not enough time on other things. like my health and relationships. my roommate and i have had some good chats, though often short. my gf and i have not had much time to chat, and when we do they seem forced. what can be done to change this?
on a good note, i watched a show on the discovery channel about the Cooper River Bridge in charleston SC. it was AWESOME! i love the city and i love bridges, so it is a perfect marriage. and during the show, they were talking to the men working on the bridge, and one had a tatoo of his wifes name on his shoulder. her name is bridgette, and it occured to me that my second daughter's name will be that, bridgette.
so to recap:
first daughter: brooke lynn
second daughter: bridgette
anyone notice a theme? yes, i love my job. and yes, i love the beauty of well designed bridges.
i wonder if there is a book about the 'zen of bridges' or of 'bridge phylosophy' (sp? i am an engineer, not a writer) i guess the closest thing would be 'to engineer is human' and 'the civilized engineer'. both awesome books, both sitting here in my office.
thoughts on the analogy of a bridge and life:
bridges need: a strong foundation, a strong support system, balance and symmetry, and they serve a useful purpose.
life needs: a strong foundation, a strong support system, balance and symmetry, and feeling of serving a useful purpose
augh!! i have just spent an hour thinking and typing. i need sleep and i need to get work done.
have a great day all!
