"See... you're a planner."
Yeah, I definitely am.
It's amazing how organized and anal I can be with some aspects of my life, and yet completely chaotic and unconcerned with others.
For instance, talking to my mother about my organizational skills she would probably reflect on her visions of my bedroom when I was young. Who am I kidding, now too! Pretty much every private room in my house is organized chaos, which is how I like it, most of the time. I have a nearly photographic memory, so it's easy for me to remember where, when, why, and how I put things in a specific place.
Talking to any of my coworkers or bosses, you would get a different impression altogether. Not pristine, but certainly well organized and available at a moments notice.
What does that have to do with the strange mating rituals of the pygmy people of the Congo? Uh… nothing, but there is a point to the post, I promise.
So, I have been making some life altering plans of late, keeping much of the details as secret and concise as possible so as to avoid hearsay, confusion, and to keep people from dropping eves.
The Setting
Surprisingly, much of what I had thought through in my head is actually possible, feasible, was a hell of a lot easier to set up than I ever thought possible, due much to the help of my family. I will still need to coordinate these plans with other families, but have a feeling that it will go just as smoothly with them as it did with mine.
The Timing
Timing is everything. Although the setting was easier than I'd imagined it would be to achieve, the timing is going to be a bit more difficult. Due in part to the coordination of schedules of people, places, and events. Each of which will have an effect on when the entire plan will come to fruition.
The Crux
Currently it's a perpetuum mobile, which isn't really a big deal, as it's just beginning. It is a bit frustrating, but no more than getting some peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth.
Hopefully it will start to solidify in September, as there are many aspects that have to be concrete. But, I have to have faith that they will work out.
Digression
Anyway, being vague as usual, but it'll be more than worth it for everyone involved, and certainly for one particular, pivotal, person. We've already had many moments that I will remember for the rest of my life, and only hope that this is one she will cherish to think of for the rest of hers.
He is the best man who, when making his plans, fears and reflects on everything that can happen to him, but in the moment of action is bold.
