Sea sick from kayaking today =\ I thought those *halcyon* days were over... apparently not.

Invigorating dinner and after-dinner conversation with KC, an old army buddy. We became friends, really, only last year when.. well.. I can't even remember how we started conversing again. Oh yah, posted to same reservist unit and went for same briefing. Anyhow, I'm amazed at how focused and enthusiastic he can be over his work, not super bright but sharp enough.. yet at the same time still have his feet firmly on the ground, talking about stuff like where to bring his gf out for dinner on her birthday etc. It just seems, natural. Zen!

On a relevant note, I've been hearing, meeting, and chatting with people who've begun to make me feel uneasy. Not uneasy in the squermish sense, but in the sense that it brings my inability to transform thought into viable action into the spotlight. So many of them are, at least, taking tentative, if not giant steps into the fields of their choice. Of course one's personality and life does not consist entirely of one's work and career, even calling, but it does take a big portion of our lives and impacts the rest.

The ex-secondary school classmate that's been published... the ex-army senior who's graduating and going on to his Master's... friends who're planning their forrays into the business world... friends doing research on medical conditions... and so on. It's troubling me, sometimes urging me, frustrating me at times.
