Pink: F**ckin' Perfect

Link to Video @ Pink's site

I'm not a fan of Pink, but I'm not a hater either.  I caught this video on VH1the other morning while getting ready for work.  As the father of two daughters, one son who are sorting themselves out...and as the husband of a woman struggling to find herself...and as a man who has his own demons...this song and the video affect me.

I'll let the link to Pink's video speak for itself.  You may not like it.  That's cool.  The images are rather graphic.  But the message is clear.

Fair warning: The link is to Pink's explicit lyrics, not the safe one made for VH1.

Update

I've not been able to post lately.  Partly due to life, partly due to avoidance.

I have a new job.  That is, I've accepted a position in my library's administration office on a half time basis through May, but I'm still overseeing my branch library on a half time basis as well.  So, I am on a huge learning curve, splitting my time between two jobs and doing neither very well.  But the temporary position may very well lead to a permanent position that I've been working towards for many years now.

My wife continues to improve, and I find myself crashing because of it.  For the last 5 months, I've needed to be rather vigilant in her care.  Now that this chapter is closing, I am having to redefine my role again.  This is not a bad thing, but even good change can leave me stressed and lost.

I am not following any of my plans.  But I do not see this as a backslide.  It is a moment of my life where I have decided to make other things a focus in my life.  I am mindful of what I eat and I note when I am overeating, but I'm not as careful as I could be.  I do use my hard earned skills at regulating emotional eating when I am aware, but for now it is far simpler to eat what everyone else is eating.  And with our current income, that means some protein, veggies and a lot of pasta.

I am exhausted but excited as well.  I am doing my best to keep it together.  For now, that is all I can do.
