you regular readers, all six of you, may have noticed that i’ve taken some time off.so, hi again. i’ve thought of you often and have just not had the heart to write. the last month has been on the tumultuous side, and i just haven’t recently found myself sitting at a computer with anything to say that anybody would truly want to hear. to make many long stories short:
- a roommate has moved out
- raccoons killed three chickens
- i used a large chunk of savings to buy a piece of photographic gear to meet a deadline that was extended by six months the day after the gear showed up in the mail
- i had an existential crisis
- i resigned myself to sticking with a source of everyday resentment and frustration because of responsibilities i have that rely on the one thing delivered by the source of resentment
- a few people took advantage of my generosity
- i couldn’t seem to coordinate with my band mates to save our lives, so i made very little music
- my pants are too tight in all the wrong places
- my birthday came and went and it was pleasant but certainly not on the top ten moments of my life. not even the top 33 moments
- i worked a lot. like, a LOT.
in short, waaaah. like i said, nothing anybody wants to hear about. i wouldn’t say that i’ve been depressed, but i can say that i’ve been walking around in a haze of low-level disappointment. and you know what? no matter what people say, nobody really wants to hear about your perceived problems, even if you talk about them in an amusing manner. so i just kept my head down and clammed up until the day that i had something nice to say.you may have intuited by now that today is that day. watch this. it’ll make you feel good.
