it's been a long while since i've written. i'm starting to kind of look at this blog like a journal. i know that's not what blogs are for, but i'm not planning on sharing my innermost secrets with the world wide web. just some of my thoughts. and besides, rarely write in my journal, so why not just rarely write here and see what comes of it.
i must confess something. every day i take some time to reflect on either the day ahead or the day that just happened. this typically happens while i'm in the shower - so sometimes i take a shower in the morning and sometimes at night. it all depends on what the day or night entails. i guess this is a product of not having a "real" job, which some of you would deem as a luxury. i just deem it as my way of life these days.
anyways, every day i take some time to reflect. and it's always at these times that i feel i have my most brilliant ideas for my blog (which i obviously don't get down on paper). and then there are other points throughout the day where i feel i have more brilliance pop up - like today, while i was in a movie theater watching The Help or sometimes while i'm doing dishes. i forget to write a lot of this brilliance down, so i end up sitting here with a blinking cursor wondering what i should write. then i give up and just go do something else, like look at Saveur emails and dream of ways to be able to afford that amazing leg of lamb so i can roast it for 6 hours in my oven without heating my house up too much.
whatever the circumstances, i do often think of writing and i often just forget what it is i should write about. so i have decided to make a list of a few of the ideas i think i can remember... please feel free to comment and add to or whatever you want. i may come back here and write more or i may just disappear for another 6 months. who knows. we can only hope that i will add some semblance of structure to my nonchalant days and discipline myself into writing more. when i'm scraping by for topics, i'm hopefully going to remember to turn to this entry and find something to write about.
* passion
* crazy looks people give you
* my grandparents
* doing nothing, literally
* goal-oriented (and something my mom said to me today about me always being goal oriented when i thought all along it was something i learned from my parents)
* getting caught up with the computer world
* reading books versus reading via a hand held computer device
* dogs
* finding gifts
* smoking and not smoking
* our senses (not just the 5 we learn about in school)
* social circles
* full potential
ok... that's it for now. stay tuned for more info on all of those topics and maybe more. feel free to make your own list of what you want to hear from me. or feel free to just stop reading this blog all together because you find the topics above boring and non-creative. but let me warn you... my creative juices are flowing these days. i think it's because i quit smoking and now i'm on the warpath for a new goal. you'll have to read more (if i write more, that is) to find out.
