I reluctantly come back to writing a blog entry.
For a while now I would hover around my computer wondering if I should take the time to write something meaningful, search the web for stupid-funny videos or do what most people do in their free time when online...porn! As you can see I chose the former.
I have always viewed my attempts at writing as both enjoyable and frustrating. Sometime the words are there ready to be plucked, other times the words are buried in cement-near impossible to retrieve.
I should state that, previously I had a great blog entry lined up. I was writing what amounted to an essay about Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and tying it to today US political environment and then..."poof" all my written words gone.
There's nothing more dejecting than seeing your words disappear.
So that brings me here...writing essentially about nothing. My pockets are bare, my rage is subdued and my mind a tempest of ideas.
Well I should not say my rage/anger has been subdued. There are plenty of things going on in the world that has me wanting to scream profanities (must be my Jersey tendencies), but they will hopefully be addressed soon (I am crossing my fingers it will not take me a year just to comment about current events going on the year 2010).
So far I have been on a rollercoaster of emotion with 2010. Everything from a death in the family, to the earthquake in Haiti, to moving out on my own, to purchasing my first car. 2010 has been interesting and it's not even half way done.
I feel I have so much to do, yet sometimes things happen that remind you that time...is not on your side.
So I have resolved to having as many adventures I can this year. Confront my fears and conquer them. Cowering in the shadow of fear is no way for a person to live.
My first adventure (looking good so far, unless the person backs out) is to go on a kayaking adventure. It will conquer my fear of water. I will of course be wearing a life-jacket, but I want to understand everyone's love affair with the water and what draws them to it.
It appears my time is up for the night. Until later!
