This is the second post of the year. \u00a0The entire month of February: nothing. \u00a0I don\u2019t know what that says about the current state of my life, because February had some activities. \u00a0A reunion in Vegas with friends I\u2019ve never met in person, a chance to throw live dice with a purpose for the first time in over four years, a long weekend in Tahoe to read books and sip cocktails, a birthday trip to see the Santa Cruz Warriors and enjoy live basketball\u2026there were things happening.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know. \u00a0This year feels like the phase-5 version of last year; despondency and despair giving way to \u201cwhatever, long as I can have a drink and see friends and\/or stretch out by the fire and don\u2019t have to set an alarm.\u201d We\u2019ve been to places this year and have more on the way (not least the long-awaited Japan excursion). \u00a0I look at the stuff on my \u201cfrivolous things to purchase\u201d list and don\u2019t really want any of them badly enough to spend the money. I haven\u2019t been down the pub on a Sunday night yet this year, I don\u2019t believe, and I am seriously considering making a Tuesday night thing happen with the local dive and the most local Irish place with live music.<\/p>\n
I mean, look at the categories\u2026politics is too depressing to think about. Sports – well, Vandy basketball is surprisingly not bad despite the sluggish SEC start and Vandy baseball is defending the title well, the Warriors are still killing it and spring training has started and that\u2019s nice. Not much to sing out about yet. \u00a0Technology? Well, the Apple Watch event is on Monday morning and we\u2019ll find out whether it\u2019s worth throwing cash (right now, I suspect probably not) and I still feel drawn to the Moto X even though carrying two phones is no more practical than it ever was.<\/p>\n
Honestly? I just need something to happen. \u00a0I need my job to change somehow – new job, new workplace, or just a big enough win at the current one that I am propelled into a better spot. \u00a0Sort that out, reduce that as a stress factor, and maybe I can get on with improving my life in other areas. \u00a0More working out, better eating. That sort of thing. \u00a0Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It feels like I\u2019m waiting for the curtain to go up. \u00a0On what\u2026I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
