I had what some folks would call an "Aha" moment the other day ...
I was playing “jump in daddies lap”, with my little girl, (now approximately 14 months old and cute as a button …there must be a lot of cute buttons), and I thought to myself, “Good heavens, how long has it been since I have done this?”
I have been spread so thin over that last 6 months or so that I have been giving too much importance to the things that truly don’t matter (or at least, do not matter as much in comparison with family), and just realized that I waste (so to speak) a full two hours per day at the library on the internet, (for business and otherwise) …
Therefore ….
While I will still be on here, I won’t be here nearly half as much, probably a lot less than that. know that …
1. I haven’t lost my fondness for you fine folks. 2. I still love my film collection just as much 3. I’m not dead …
… I just won’t be on here as much. So, if you don’t “read” my “presence” as much, that is why, (heck, there might be some that will say, “yay! Less OSI! Hey, I can laugh at myself).
Perhaps once or twice a week. It's just that, while I can't give up my music work, my other projects that I am doing, if I have to trim something, it has to be something that's not an absolute must and to have a full two hours more in a day that I can directly invest in my kids and wife, well, that's most certainly the priority.
I will also continue my work on the film documentary as well, as the newest post shows on that subject, just at a more laid back level.
… and to all a good night!
OSI “CX” Osgood

Am I showing my age ? Although I do tell my wife, that I must work, in order to keep her in a life style that she is used to...just kidding ...but she does give me some weekly pocket money and I must add she works too.
All kidding aside if you don't put the effort in when you are young, fit, and bullet proof, you will land up paying the price for that decision later in life. Apart from a year or so, being out of work after the cinema closed. I have been very lucky to have been full time employed from the age of 15yrs right through to now... yikes..62.
I think a lot of folk in the mid range of 20s 30s just don't see what can lie ahead, and believe me time does go in quick. Is that a lot of employers "not all" will be less inclined to take you on the older you get...so its a matter that when you are young, as they say is "to make hay while the sun shines" and hopefully be around to enjoy life "debt free" in those twilight years ahead

PS....I just remembered something my 8 year granddaughter Zoe said to me yesterday pointing to the sky..."that when I die I will go to a happy place".....something to look forward to I guess, eh! [ April 01, 2014, 02:13 AM: Message edited by: Graham Ritchie ]
