I have nothing terribly intelligent to speak about on this occasion. I think I'm going to use my journal, as a dare I say... journal. So here's some random babble:
-Played basketball again today. I'm really thrilled about how my stamina and defense are coming along... and if I may use a b-ball term, my handle has improved greatly: I can dribble fairly effectively with either hand. If only my shooting were a bit better and I could dunk like crazy I'd be rich!
-Back to work tomorrow as my company doesn't give us off for some holidays. Considering how much they love dead presidents $$$, you'd think we'd have off when the nation is celebrating a few of them
-I find myself getting quite sick of "indie" rock and rock in general- it seems so watered down now. I'm really starting to scratch the surface on electro-rock and dance-rock... they seem more creative and fun. Case in point, I'm REALLY digging the Faint and Franz Ferdinand all of a sudden. Any recommendations in a similar style?
-My writing has stopped for now. As a wannabe writer, I go through these peaks and valleys both with creativity and motivation. If I am lucky, they both are in full effect at the same time and life feels warm and toasty like when your feet are tucked under the covers at night. When I am lacking one or both, I feel kinda broken. As you might imagine I feel broken more often than whole. One day though, you'll be seeing my crappy musings alongside the greats like Danielle Steel, Tom Clancy and Deepak Chopra. That's a joke by the way... my musings are not crappy.
-Been getting a lot of DVDs lately, and I've been cooking more. I think all this private hopeful entertainment means I need a new girlfriend. I don't know how you are, but I like to watch movies with someone else, preferably someone close. I also like to cook for others, although I am a cooking novice at best. So why am I buying all these DVDs of things I'm waiting to watch? Maybe I'm getting ready for the spring mating season, although truth be told, I barely mate... I'm so shy and damn picky it's sick.
Upcoming purchases (probably this week) include:
-a new rain jacket, somelight light, stylish but waterproof.
-A digital camera- my old one seems to think it should be shot.
-A new Yankees cap- baseball season is right around the corner, and you can't go in to a new season with an old crusty cap. I like contradiction, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.
-and of course I can't forget about those trusty student loan payments.
-Oh yes, and since I have so many friends around the country, I've been re-introduced to instant messenging recently. It's not something I think I can do at work because I work too diligently and attentively, but when I am home anything goes.
If you ever want to have ridiculous chatter with me you could find me under both or either of the following usernames:

If you are ever in my virtual neighborhood, stop by and say hi, but please, please be gentle... I'm shy you know.

But to be honest, this bad mood is coming out of some very concrete recent events, rather than purely existential malaise, as itburns called it. I do think the whole icky time of year thing is getting to me, too, though. I haven't gotten as much art done as I wanted to, and now it feels like I won't, but there is definitely some stuff I need to get done, and soon. I've started a writing partnership with Olsen, so I have to get some stuff done by Sunday when we get together to read and discuss. That ought to be very helpful for me.
But I'm still just not sure I'm happy. But it kinda sounds like no one is, so at least my misery has company.
Well...maybe I'll get out of this place soon, then. I can hope!
