We've Got Talent

Another day, another dime. I know that doesn't make any sense, but let's pretend that it does, for one moment. What does that even mean? For each day, do you get a dime? Or perhaps 'dime' is supposed to signify something. Maybe each day is as expensive as the last, perhaps each day is as important as the first, and as the next. I guess the phrase has it's rights of passage, but let's change it a bit for the sake that I simply want to: Another day, another paycheck. Because each day is what we make it; one day we might make a dollar, and the next, we might just scrap a few more bucks. Has someone ever earned a million dollars in one day (and I'm not counting those who won a lottery, or something)? Can people honestly say they give their all in a single day, give their all to get the biggest paycheck that life has to offer?

I'm doing a talent show, tomorrow. I tell you this because I figured it might be appropriate to tell you something that's going on in my life. It's been a while since I've left a post; I pretty much abandoned everyone. Not on purpose, never on purpose...it's been a busy time. I'm shooting videos for myself and scholarships, and I've been meeting some pretty great people, and I'm in a talent show, and my Finals are next week, so I've got to study and be the best I can be...I should get a big fat check at the end of this month.

Money isn't that important, though. There are many more things much more important than a dollar bill. I'm not going to twist my gears into cliche mode, or anything, but I'm speaking the truth. If my partners and I win the talent show, we'd each get three-hundred dollars. That's a hefty amount of money, whichever way you look at it. But the fact that I'm actually in the talent show and am going to perform my heart out for hundreds of people...that's what matters, right? Would the paycheck be greater for the feeling of joy? To be honest, I'd rather have those feelings, and the winnings. But who wouldn't, right?

I'm not here to prove a point. Perhaps next time. I simply want to say hello once again, because it's been too long since I've shared my thoughts with everyone. And yes...I'd like to remind everyone to be their best. Money's cool, but you're cooler, and you're allowed to prove it.
