I definitely won’t look back nostalgically on this year. It’s been difficult physically and psychologically. While I do seem to be coming through the physical issues, I am still dealing with some mental anguish. Hell, damn near any stupid television show or movie can make me think about something that upsets me.
The simple truth is I really need to reassess my life and just move on. Stop wallowing in my self pity and get going with just the process of living a good life. I used to, but lately I’ve let myself descend into an almost perpetual state of quasi-depression.
I need to get out there and mix it up with people like I used to. I shouldn’t be watching life as it passes me by, I should be living it to the fullest once again. No, my life hasn’t exactly turned out like I wanted it to, but then again most people don’t end up in the exact destination which they had initially intended. Although, admittedly most don’t get derailed by a life altering incident, but that was 16 years ago. It wasn’t that long ago that I was nothing but enthusiastic about everything.
Well, I’m going to start blogging once again. That’s something I always enjoyed doing and unfortunately I let the collapse of Windows light spaces and the ascent of Facebook squash that enthusiastic endeavor. I just can’t bare my soul on Facebook.
I don’t know when the new thing became micro-blogging, but I definitely don’t like it. Sure, it’s fun to catch up with some old friends, but in all honesty once you chat a couple of times there isn’t much more to catch up on.
I think tomorrow I’m going to go to the movie. Forget about whatever else I had planned. I can do it next week. I need to stop worrying about not getting enough accomplished and think more about just having a good time.

it’s interesting how many of us don’t really like Facebook. Then again, I don’t care much for this venue either.
