Been a While
A while since I did this. Forgot I had it at all. I use it as a place to just unload the garbage that accumulates in my mind. I've been using Facebook for that...and created long, boring posts about items that interest few people other than myself. :)
Since my last post here, I have experienced a few changes in my life, and a few things that have not changed. I have discovered new forms of entertainment, had a slight bout with cancer, met a woman I love as much as life itself, discovered I love the weather in Florida ( though not the politics ), developed a few new ills that have triggered some changes in lifestyle, gone through a radical change in my own political views, and put on more weight than even I deem necessary.
Also, I see I do not write as well as I did 7 years ago. Well, hey, good thing no one reads it then! Heheh!
Some things remain the same: I still love baseball and the Giants; I still love music and still consider ABBA and The Ventures my favorite bands ( with many others remaining tied for a close 2nd) but I can no longer just pick up a guitar and play ( arthritis related problems in my hands make it painful ); I am better off financially than I was 7 years ago, but only thanks to social security and being able to continue at a job that I dislike but doesn't often require too much physical activity on my part -- thankfully, as I can no longer do too much without getting overly tired, nauseous, and completely incapable of a coherent thought or action. So, that has changed also, I guess. I find I can no longer perform more than one action or thought at a time. If I try, the resulting confusion renders me little better than a vegetable.
But one thing will never change in me: I still regard fun as the best thing in life you can have, and refuse to waste what little mind I have left on anything I cannot have fun with. I hope I can keep that alive, and that I can use this blog for just such a thing!
