Channeling Mike Lowell

I came to a sucky realization this morning that I am surrounded by people that I don't care for very much.
My workplace is filled with people I need to dodge, and my house is filled with people who are legally insane.
Ergo, a lot needs to change. Including my thinking. I let my the actions of others stress me out way too much. I've every intention of making some necessary adjustments - i.e. moving, new job. I feel like my life is like a shower drain and I only clean it sporadically, instead of on a regular basis. Without regular attention, it gets all clogged. It's currently running a bit sluggish, with bits of hair and dried soap all mixed up with calcium build up. What I need is a good plunging and some Drain-O.

There's a lot of anxiety that can be attributed to these factors, and I find that I'm having a hard time relaxing due to the thoughts racing around in my mind.

Does everyone feel this way? I don't think Mike Lowell does. Of course he gets paid a mint, but as I was watching him eat cookies on T.V last night as part of the 3rd annual Red Sox Cookie-Off, he just seemed like such a relaxed person. I admit, he wasn't doing anything stressful, just judging cookies, but I was thinking, does this guy ever get really stressed? For the most part, I think ball players are pretty chill people. Look at Manny, or at Big Papi: Chill and Super Chill.

I gotta get me some of that super chillness. The thing that I think is really nice about baseball, is that they give the players downtime. You're in the outfield, and then you get to sit and relax for a bit, and then you bat, and then you play in the outfield, and then you rest. It's like having a designated nap time. Ahh, to be a major leaguer, or better yet, a Red Sox.
