Object in motion tend to stay in motion.
Objects at rest tend to stay at rest.
It is this universal truth that can not help but make me consider current events, how much I feel so much older, slower. Perhaps its just a quarter life crisus, but a part of me is really worried baout slowing down from whatever rocket booster I jumped on to get out to Seattle almost 2 years ago.
I'm finding it somewhat harder to find a job that gives me the dramatic increase in pay that I have enjoyed over the past two years; I'm wondering if its a sign that I have peaked.
I'm finding it somewhat harder to land that next once-in-a-lifetime job that turns out to only be a year long consulting contract *after* I get the job, like the one I am on now and ending in less then 4 weeks. I need a new job by then, or I cant pay the mortgage.
I'm finding it harder and harder to look like I really feel inside, the young and fit intelectual by day, a hero whenever.. I look in the mirror and I instead see scruffy "Mr. Grr!" with his long red tinted beard, wild long 'bus person' hair, and a few too many pieces of pie.. I look like Richard Stallman with burn scars on my hands and arms from working with the fire places in the house, tools in the garage. Thats not how I feel I look inside.

What if I stop?
What if I crash?
