Thought: I really should blog more.
there is a commercial out there, Nationwide Insurance I think, it says that life comes at you fast. they could not be more right. life has been coming at me fast. i hadn't realized that it has been over a month since i last updated. it's not that i have been avoiding the blog but i have been in the fast lane of life. my fast lane is a bit different than the one described by the Eagles in their song "life in the fast lane". my fast lane is an 80mph only lane full of writing papers, reading books about things of the past, and working. what isn't taken up by those things is spent hanging out with my friends or at home...doing nothing...except reading more...and that is usually the books i should be reading for school. i am finding that i want to spend more and more time at home just relaxing.
i think it's a sign of old age...except for the fact that i am not old enough to say that. there are days, however, that my brain and body will beg to differ. a few weeks ago, for example, i went to around 8pm. actually it was more like i fell asleep watching "Casablanca". but in my defense, i know of a few other people who did the same thing that weekend.
this past weekend on the other hand is a different story. i was definitely asleep by 8:30pm friday night and i slept until 10:30am saturday...after my alarm went off at the usual time for work! i then spent the remainder of saturday either sleeping or reading...gosh i sound like a bum!
oh well, what can ya do?
right? i mean, i should be in my "prime" right now...shouldn't i? according to society i should. but then again, isn't 30 the new 20? or is it the other way around? the point i am trying to make is that people are acting younger and younger for their age. thank you MTV, Vh1, and all of those reality shows. granted, a guilty pleasure for me is watching cheesy reality shows because i get a kick out of the scripted moments and voice overs that make you think they are happening at that exact moment....yes, i analyze them. it it highly entertaining.
what was my point again? life grabs you by the horns? no, that is a dodge commercial...oh yes, life comes at you fast...which come to think of it, is an Allstate thing not Nationwide. oh well, that is what google is for.
life comes at you fast. am i prepared? sure....i think. to be even more prepared i am finding that i should do more and more like i did the past few weekends. relax and take care of myself. both things that i hardly ever do. i have a tenancy to take care of other people and to always be on the run. while it is fun, it is fun for only a little bit. i am quickly realizing that i cannot do this forever. there are other things more important than being the social butterfly of every event.
speaking of being the social butterfly, thursday night, i bounced around between some friends houses and birthday parties. it was a lot of fun and i definitely felt like my "old" self...you know, the social butterfly who is always bubbly, laughing, and some how in the center of every conversation (how that happens i don't quite know, but i am taking notes on myself to figure out how i do it...fun stuff!). thursday night i donned a ball cap and was off to grab some coffee, play rock band, and wish a friend "happy birthday". it was great. i saw several of my friends and a few who i haven't seen in a while. i loved it.
then come friday and saturday. we already know what i did then.
come sunday. saw more people i hadn't seen in a while and then....
......i need to stop and say that CBS is having a colonoscopy sweepstakes. they are giving one lucky winner a free colonoscopy and a nights stay in some fancy hotel...at least i think that is what the ad said. i was too shocked by the "colonoscopy sweepstakes" part that i lost the rest of the ad.
wow. anyway. welcome back....
sunday, i saw more old friends and had an amazing day. that night i was with tons of people my own age and i was being "myself". what does that mean? simply put: i was cracking corny jokes and laughing a lot...but not at my own jokes, i won't fall that low :D
so, when life comes at me fast what do i do? kick back for a coupla days and then jump back in. i cannot be in the slow lane for long. i get bored and find that i am longing to be back in the other lane pressing the accelerator to the floor.
no matter which lane i am in though, i should keep the blog updated. i constantly come across things that make me think "hey, i should blog about that". maybe i will be the next big blogger. then i could get an agent, make guest appearances at places i'd rather not be but since they are paying me to be there i'll go and eventually i will get a book deal. the first book being something that "they" want me to write...followed by one written by me and co-written by someone slightly more famous than i am...then there is the third and beyond. all written by me. now big shot blogger and major author.
talk about life coming at you fast.
