I Can't Think of a Title
I haven't posted in awhile partly because I have been busy with my new job, partly because I have been trying to decide what kind of things I should refrain from posting, and partly because that's what happens when I get out of the habit of doing something as a routine. I don't want to stop blogging. I certainly don't want to stop blogging because some dickhead in Minnesota hurt my feelings.
I've thought about narrowing the focus of this space so that I'm only writing about movies and books (Currently reading Game of Shadows about Bonds and the BALCO scandal and listening to The Davinci Code on audiobook. Enjoying both.). I thought about just posting commentary about current events; sort of an opinion column where I weigh in on illegal immigration, the popularity of Brokeback Mountain, and the like. Basically I've been wondering if I can still write anything interesting without referencing my personal life. I don't know. I'm not sure it would hold my interest and I'm quite sure that it wouldn't hold anybody else's.
As for me; I'm trying to immerse myself in my new job. I think I'm at a company that is really going to do some amazing things. It's all very new and exciting. It could also end up being incredibly lucrative.
In the words of my beloved father, "I might just have backed my ass into a tub of butter."
The caveat is that I will need to work harder than I probably ever have before and force myself out of my comfort zone. I'm trying to convince myself that if I do this 100% I will be successful and it won't be a decision that comes back to bite me in the ass. I need to prove to myself that I can get to the next level. The difference between being jovial and competent and being successful. I think this is an opportunity for me to accomplish that. To prove to myself that I'm as smart and talented as I tell people I am.

Give it your all. I don't think you can ever regret that, in and of itself.
Glad you're back to blogging. I was falling asleep! ;-)
Thanks. I tried to catch up on my reading of Farfromgood but I got dizzy and had to stop. ;-)
