Aaron said my blog was boring. Maybe its because life is boring? Huh?! Huh?! I'm calling you this Sunday on Pay Per View! Probably another reason I haven't been blogging about since I dislike blogging about the mundane events of my life. More so, people read blogs, and many things that I want to commit to words need to be done in private, not public. The juicy stuff needs to be processed before it hits the newspaper. I'm no muckraker. In all seriousness, life has slowed down since the last post. Classes ended, one acts were finished, and my obligations were lightened. New friends, dear friends ran off to their respective homes and old friends begin to slowly drift back into the haunts of Kirksville. While most go back to high schools of old, environments they left behind, I merely shift a few blocks. Needless to say, the view is still different. I've become a product of my new environment. Truman has molded, or honed my desire to be active into making me a workaholic beast who craves little sleep, not much fuel (food) and constant, constant walking. Life at light speed. I'm now at a standstill. I have no immediate objectives in the horizons. I force myself to make lists of tasks on my MacBook sticky notes just so I can accomplish something. I want to accomplish something yet I want to rest. I was ok during the early part of last week. I was working out, getting gifts, reading a bit. Since getting a minor cold and getting sore from working out harder than my body was used to, I've immediately been prone to sleeping in way too late, making no attempt to get up early and just being a bum. My food habits or horrendous. Actually, I don't think they're bad, I just think that without all the walking I used to do, I can feel the pounds coming on. I feel a little sick in the head when I call myself fat, directly or not. I'm not fat. I'm average. I'm in pretty good shape. Again, product of the environment(this time society and the successful male looking ship shape, etc). I got a hair cut? Its short. I enjoy it. Its growing back out already. Yeah, that's interesting. I have all this free time and I have no idea how to spend it. If there was a time in my four years to strike the hot iron and begin my creative pursuits (reading, writing my screenplay The Magic Coat, etc.) then it would be now. Y et, with so much time, so much open space, how does on simply hone and focus? The same applies to my quest to get in shape, and what not. All my christmas gifts are opened. Needless to say, my transformation into dapper college student is pretty much complete. With the Long Coat I received early, the scarf Alaina made me, a new messenger bag, a slew of clothing from Nordstrom (namely a pair of Diesel sneakers) I'm officially scholarly and dashing to a T. Speaking of Christmas, I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas or had a lovely season leading to it. I had a good season leading in this year. At its core, this fair season is about spending quality, merry time with the ones you love. As every day should be but this season especially. It should be about simpleness. Dropping our pretenses, our predjudices, our bitter grudges and just enjoying one another for the people we are. I had that experience earlier this Winter and I hope you all find the same, be it with children on Christmas day or gifts or just simply sitting around and watching Sweeny Todd in a movie theatre this Christmas afternoon. I've been half heartedly staring at you blog for about five minutes now. Seeing if there was anything else to say. I think the rest has been vented through channels (friends, family) and has no need to be posted here. The other is none of anyones business until it is deemed so. With that said: Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. |
