I’m sad, not sorry, ’bout the way that things went,
And you’ll be happy and I’ll be forsakin’ thee.
Well back from a nice long weekend in Vegas. Never did win big unfortunately but it was still a great time overall. Spent a lot of time by the pool just relaxing and reading, did a bit of gambling and didn’t really win but it will still a good time. Also got to see O, Mystere and Zumanity which was all fun. O was probably my least favorite but they could only do so much with the set I suppose. Mystere had the best acrobatics and was overall just fun. Zumanity… well its 18+ for a reason and a lot of fun if you are into that sort of thing. We both enjoyed the hell out of the shows anyway. It was definitely a shame to have to come back to the real world but then again I guess thats just a part of life. The only part I really didn’t enjoy was how dry my sinuses got. Still… steamrooms help.
Since I came back its been a matter of just working. Not real happy about it but thems the breaks kiddo, as my dad used to say. While I was working yesterday I spent some time thinking about areas that interest me and came up with a few items of interest:
- Law
- Politics
- Beer
- International affairs
- traveling.
Among other things of course. But thats whats got me interested right now. Not sure how I could combine those into a job or even just use one or two in a job but I am certainly open to suggestions. The new plan of action for me really is to try and figure out what I want to do (roughly) and then work to get there rather then trying to work towards something but not being sure what exactly I want to end up as. All I really know is that I am stagnating at my current position and would like to move to something new that will interest me again.
I think I mentioned previously that I am working out again, which is going well if a bit intermittent. I am trying to get to the gym 3-5 days a week depending on what else I have going on. Mostly elliptical and swimming but I think its time I start lifting to some extent again. We’ll see how that goes I suppose, all I really know for sure is that its time to fight the entropy of my body at the moment get myself back into a more “fighting shape.” I am also debating sending an email to my old instructor of the martial arts. Not sure that I want to start doing martial arts again but at the very least I feel that I should thank him for some of the values he managed to instill in me when I was a willful young kid. As opposed to now when I am no longer a young kid.
Aside from all of that its mostly just getting back into the swing of things as much as possible and its not proving real easy. As I said to the lady Tuesday morning by the pool “Its not real appealing to go back to the ‘real world’ is it?” and frankly its not. But its where we belong. I have started writing a bit again which helps and I am also in the midst of planning another trip or two out to somewhere. Maybe another DC/Delaware trip, probably another trip to Florida (we like it there I guess) as well. It is nice to see that things are going very well for us though. As opposed to most of my relationships that have sort of fizzled in a year or so. Its hard to believe that I have been seeing her for almost two years actually.
Oh, I almost forgot, my 10 year high school reunion was not to long ago which threw me for a loop a little bit. I didn’t attend, for one thing it was just people getting together at a bar and for another… I just am not that interested in reliving that particular part of my life I suppose. But its weird to say that its been that long. I rather imagine that 20 and 30 will actually be less surprising. Just a feeling though.
And for my other ongoing situation… the car. Well I am looking. I am somewhat disappointed that my Dad didn’t seem that interested in selling me his car as I would have loved to own it. Maybe he will change his mind I don’t know but I imagine that I really should be looking more actively then I am. Then again I have only driven less then 4,000 miles in my car this year. And the weather has been so atrocious that I haven’t been riding much this year either. Its screwball to say the least.
Also, crazy to find the old X-men cartoons on netflix instant. Absolutely blows me away me to see those again and surprised at how much of them I remember. Also surprised at how many seasons they had of it. Apparently I only caught the first season or two.
And thats all thats fit to print but I have to ask: Do you?
