As any of you left know, I’ve basically disappeared off the grid for a bit. You might have seen me read your sites but I haven’t been around posting. The thought of taking 5-15 minutes to post just seems so overwhelming when I can whip out my phone and kick out a 140 character tweet in about 15 seconds. Granted, I’m not writing anything earth shattering on twitter, but a little group of regulars is starting to form and it’s fun. I don’t think that many of my “old” xagans are even around any more, it seems like many of them grew out of blogging over the course of the last year or two. It probably had something to do with most of them being in college when we started following each other. It’s kind of sad.
Anyways, things have been pretty good recently. There is no possible way that I can update everyone on the last few months that I’ve been gone. That would basically be impossible. If you want an idea you can check out my twitter www.twitter.com/mrmysterious . That will probably get you up to speed really quick.
My time recently has been mainly work, school, spending time with Amanda, working out, and a little TV, and maybe 30 minutes a day of video games. It seems like time is really flying by recently and I wish that there was some way to make things slow down…I’m just so afraid of missing something. Have you ever heard the song “Don’t Blink” by Kenny Chesney or the song “100 Years” by Five for Fighting. They both are so true…
BRB, need to get another cup of coffee.
Ok, back again. Did I mention that it is gorgeous outside this morning? I think that sitting on my porch is quite possible one of my favorite activities recently. Coffee in the morning, dinner in the evening, and then a cold beer at night. The porch was definitely the focal part of our party last Saturday.
Speaking of parties…as much as I love to just relax in our nice and quiet house I love being surrounded by friends. If I miss anything about living in the South Bend area it’s the whole friends thing. Growing up nearly everyday I was surrounded by friends and it was great. Down here in the big city it seems like you have friends until they have kids and then they just kind of disappear. Hopefully when the kid(s) get older they start to come around again if not it stinks. We are surrounded by something like 1.2 million people in the Indy metropolitian area…in the “town” we live in the suburbs we have something like 70,000 people. Yet, for the most part it feels like it’s just Amanda and me here by ourselves. I often wonder if it would be much different if we lived someplace far away. In fact, two nights ago I dreamt that we moved to Atalanta. I don’t know why…but we did. Kind of weird too because I never really like Georgia the year or so that I have spent down there.
I think one of the main problems that I have is where I work. When you are in school, you spend most of your time with your classmates and everyone there is your peers. At work I realy don’t have any peers. Everyone is so much older than I am. It’s really kind of frustrating too…since I’ve been the youngest for five years now. Granted there are younger people that work on the floor, but I’m just talking about the 20 or so salaried people there.
Ok, I’m starting to depress myself when things are actually good. I’m going to finish this up, go turn the sprinklers on and just listen to some music.
