Normal = Boring?

I've never been the type to follow the normal plan of adulthood. It’s not because I’m a rebel or anything. I just find that plan doesn't work for me at all. The whole work all day and then come home to eat dinner, watch TV and fall asleep before the evening news is a scary fucking prospect to me. I have to toss in some pleasure here and there to make sure I don’t lose total control. Movies and games are certainly the two things that keep me fairly calm. Social interaction is one that used to help me vent and blow off steam but recently that iteration has been limited. I am hoping that Guitar Hero III will help draw in some people who I can hang out with. I know that there are a number of people at work who are dying to play/try it. It’ll be nice to mingle with some people who like to play games and have a good time because it’s something I sorely miss.

Gone But Not Forgotten

I really don’t blog as much lately as I once did. It’s not because my life is boring but I am sure some folks would say that. I enjoy my life, my hobbies and the daily things I do. Lately I have found no time for blogging in that mix. It simply doesn’t happen as much as I would like to. I also have to admit that for every 5 posts I actually put up I probably have one that I started and for one reason or another I just never finished. Some are written in anger, some in the heat of the moment, some when I was feel sentimental and others were probably written while I was drunk. They are thoughts I started but never really got around to completing.

Every few years I seem to have a decent sized shift in my life. Most times they involve the friends I have. I know I covered this before but with all my friends moving away I have found I need to fill a decent sized amount of free time. I have done that recently by helping a friend out and spending some time with her daughter. It’s been a rough few weeks but a couple of good things have come out of it. One of the big ones is I finally feel more capable of handling kids. I am as shocked as everyone else. This development has led to a revised baby chat with the wife that finally had a more positive outcome that she had been waiting for. We aren’t trying just yet but Kelsey is now taking prenatal vitamins to help get herself a little better prepared for when we take that final step. I better watch out because that last step in a doozy.
