Today is November 30th 2010.

Things have changed a lot since the last time that I wrote in my blog, and its also been about 6+ months. I am now living in NYC with Madeline, my girlfriend. We live in a small studio in the upper east side. Similar to my last job, I now work a job in midtown manhattan doing all of the post production and creative editing for a photographer named Terry Gruber.

Life is good as always, and the air is cold, as sometimes.

I will try to make a goal to write in here again more often in the future... What I should have just said was, "I am creating a goal to write in my blog everyday, starting tomorrow."

Live Life

Reposting this to remind myself. There are tons of grammatical errors, but it still gets the message across.

I have finally created a blog. I am creating this blog to help me (Tim Waltman) learn everything there is to know about myself, and how everything around me operates. Feel free to read if you want.

I wanted to start writing a hand-written journal, but I found writing to be very tedious, and I was very unorganized with my filing.

I can honestly say that I am looking forward to my future. I have reached a point in my life where I realized that not a single individual can do any single thing for us. Sure, someone can help you tie your shoes, pay your rent, or mow your lawn, but not a single person can send you down your career path, make you hang out with someone, tell you what to wear, or show you how to see something. Others can only influence you, to as much as you allow, for better or for worse. If you listen to these rules, you will find self-sufficiency and wisdom, and can speak with your own voice.

One day a couple months ago, everything just hit me, everything made sense. I felt I could deal with anything life would throw my way. Every single motivational poster I saw and every famous quote had me pondering graciously in thought. words truly would not give justice to anything. I thought to myself, how can we apply such a simple word to anything? Words serve no justice for any given situation. any.

I was learning from everything I saw, I was observant of every situation, every conversation, every location. I became neutral of every so-called bad situation, and simply put... problems did not exist, only solutions to problems. Every single Zen quote made perfect sense, and once reading one, I would never have to read it again. Everything was wisdom. Some call this Enlightenment. I feel I was given a glimpse.

In my blog/journal/random jotting pad, I will write down as much stuff as I can to see how far I shape as a person, and where it takes me. Life is too short not to start living. Figure yourself out, then take a look at our worlds current corruption due to our egos, greed, jealousy, stubbornness, pride, and insecurities.

We cannot manage time, it operates at its own pace, the same pace for everyone, so we can only manage ourselves.
