That’s Life

Did a little experimenting today.  I took my “Calm-Magnesium” this morning.  I felt very calm when I went to meet my director friend to see about him guest directing at the studio I worked with last year.

I decided not to react to anyone, just be calm.  I wanted to prove something I had been observing.  And sure enough, there’s really no love between strangers in NYC.  Ran into lots of people on the bus, in the store, on the street.  Everybody has an attitude.  Everybody is a diva. It’s really pathetic.  I’m happy that I just glided through it with a smile on my face.  I don’t / can’t always do that but, for some reason, today was no problem.

It’s okay.  I believe that humans, are fundamentally negative, disturbed beings.  That’s life.

On another note, I spent hours doing a budget, finally.  I set up an elaborate spreadsheet with running balances.  Great.

I allocated $200 for food per month.  Not enough and I know that but there’s nothing I can do.  There are some other faults with the budget.  I mean, I did the best I could do with allocating a small amount of funds.
