Sunshine
I went back and forth over a few possible titles. I could have went with the obvious and very fitting ‘slacker’ and the simple yet somehow not exactly eloquent ‘I suck’ would have being very appropriate. I even wrote the whole thing under the working title of just ‘pathetic.’ Bottom line is that last month I was working toward a post to the blog everyday. I actually came pretty close to that mind you and as a result of that and additional networking efforts the traffic and such really expanded here at Mephistos last month.
This month I started with a plan to build on the momentum that I had going in that direction and even was looking to expand on it. I was pushing for two or maybe sometimes three post a day – as I always seem to have plenty to say. However, as we approach the last third of the month, I am looking back over the previous first 2/3 and I am seeing only ten days that have post that have been made. That is, counting today of course, twenty days. I suppose I have posted a couple of things on a few of those days, as counting this one I will have thirteen posts for the month.
If you think those things are bad you should see how neglected my journal has been of late. Very little actually written in it either. And the books, well they have hardly had anything but a few notes here and there jotted down for the biggest part of the month.
It gets worse. My evening walks that were going so well the most of the first part of the month have now managed to occur two times this past week, I think, maybe. And I have likewise only been to the gym two times in the last seven days (despite this, an aside for those that care, I have gotten down to 290.5 earlier this week). I haven’t even managed to make it to a medieval fight practice despite having gotten everything together and being ready to go the last three weeks.
I could argue that I have just been too busy. After all I have a list the length of my legs of things to do at the office right now. Add that the budget cycle and a seemingly endless stream of meetings of late at the office as well. And everything has to be done right then there – no ability to wait at all on it. I could also blame it on my car acting up and leaving me in a bit of a tight spot.
Reality is I can’t really legitimately blame those things though. I have just been enjoying life the last few weeks too much and really been to focused in on making sure I have gotten things like blogs written and such. I would like to be able to say I will promise to do better this week – but I don’t think I can really make the promise. I will however promise to try to do better and that is about all you will get. Guess it is just like I used to tell a boss at the office – if it rains I will be there on the morrow. If however it is nice and life is being fun don’t look for me to be in on the morrow. When I frame it that way, it suddenly doesn’t seem so pathetic after all.
