June 2008 was the last time I blogged. Since that time, I've tried blogging. Really, I've tried. But for some reason the end result wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Maybe it wasn't as jaded or smarmy or as laden with sarcasm as I would have liked it. But labeling it with any of those things is probably just a cop out. Really, I just think it comes down to laziness.
Originally, blogging was my 2-cent home version of real therapy. I had a string of really poor jobs that I paraded around as careers that just didn't give me the fulfillment that I was seeking. So I bitched about it. (I suppose I could have done the same at any local watering hole, but my recall after such complaining sessions wasn't as good as having the whole damn debacle in writing.)
It's a very strange time for me right now. I've been in a job for longer than a year that I really enjoy. I have annoyances from day to day, but nothing that warrants a blog post about the rampant stupidity that surrounds me. Because, there isn't stupidity around me. I genuinely like my coworkers and feel like we're actually in a worthwhile endeavor. Label it under the same category as "Clapping your hands if you believe in fairies", but I'm really into this higher education fundraising thing. Reallocate from the rich and give to the poor college students... who in turn will someday find themselves in a position of philanthropy, and start the whole circle of life all over again.
No more complaining about the job. Because I don't have a job... I think I've hit on something I wouldn't mind doing for the rest of my life. So this blog is going to have to have something to it. Some substance, some topic. So I'm probably going to revert to the complaining thing, because that's where my strength lies. Maybe the topics will be a little scattered, and maybe they won't flow together as I had wanted, but who's going to complain about it? Anyone? Does anyone actually read this stuff? (Considering I haven't updated in awhile... probably not.)
I'm going to at least pop some snippets up on this blog, because it's a way to keep my gears turning in this head of mine. Gotta stay sharp. Stick around, because if I toss enough words up here, I'm sure to eventually hit on something funny/touching/intelligent.
But for today, I have no freakin' idea how my wife sleeps when every light in the house is on. How does that work?
