Here we are with another birthday for me. I survived another year which, while certainly for the most part a better year than January 2020 to January 2021, was still rough for everyone. For me, however, it was another year of progress and personal growth. I’ve successfully cut out most social media, as one example, among also keeping myself busy with some alternate creative projects away from the typical subject matter I have tended to cover here in the past. That’s not to say I no longer like gaming, space, etc, but I’ve not felt the urge to push into the greater discussion.
In a sense, I’m still working out mentally how I want to go forward with Xadara. I know what I want to do, but I need to work it back into my daily and weekly routine — time which has been generally taken up with a combination of working and phone phreak activities. Hey, it makes me happy.
Time continues to take its toll. I look in the mirror and I continue to see myself growing older. Hasn’t helped that in the past year I’ve gotten pretty out of shape — I certainly need to start working on that again soon — but otherwise I’m certainly doing fine. Cutting out the noise of the modern digital life everyone leads is incredibly rewarding, and is certainly something I’m working on writing about. I just want to have my thoughts really cemented on the subject, at least for the initial “broad” overview entry I want to make on the subject. It certainly will be far more coherent than this all-over-the-place post is. That’s how these posts are, though — a snapshot of my thoughts at that moment in my life.
That snapshot, in this case, is one of someone who’s had enough of the meme-filled monkey-see-monkey-do cookie-cutter flavor-of-the-week trendwhore world everyone lives in. There’s so much stuff I just don’t care about, don’t want to know about, and don’t want to be told that I’m supposed to like. I’ve got my own interests, and my own ways of enjoying those interests, and that’s what this site exists for — to share those thoughts, whatever they may be.
Welcome to year 37. It’s time to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I’m all out of gum.
Oh, forgot to mention, I ordered a watch. Yeah, that’s the stage I’m at in life, where a watch is what I wanted to pick up for myself. I don’t know what that says about me exactly, but whatever it is, I’m okay with it.
Right, ramble over — I’m honestly not used to blog entries at this stage, I write them so irregularly now. More to come tomorrow, hopefully, unless I forget, or get busy, like I always do.
