So, like, yeah...it's been a while since I've posted. Busy - and busy is always a good thing. Holy God is there ever all kinds of news, some of it good...some of it not so good. Mostly things are good and I don't have a single complaint. Fall, AKA Decorative Gourd Season...M'r Fk'rs, is my favorite season. I'd take it all year 'round if I could. I guess I'd also take it for granted too, if I were to have that much of it. All things for good reason eh?
It's a great time of the year for me. Creativity runs high - like...well, fucking off the charts high - what's not to love about that? Temperatures are perfect, looking in any direction is amazing and so is taking the longer and scenic way into work. There may be no better season to embrace change than Autumn - y'know, Decorative Gourd Season...m'r fk'rs.
Yes, I know what's coming. I'll take that too - and anyone who wants to challenge me on it, well...they goin' get a snowball thrown right at they face. Boom. How you like me now? I've said for years that I wouldn't bitch about Winter if I had two things: 4 wheel drive and a wood burning fireplace. This year I'm halfway there. Truthfully, I don't bitch about Winter - though I'm presently dealing w/a couple days without heat at home, I'm still not one to let weather dictate my moods.
Someone recently commented that the name of this blog was cynical - and I'll be the first to admit that I can come off that way once in a while - but if I'm allowed a moment of self awareness, that's something I do less all the time these days. There are too many things I like. So what if football isn't one of 'em?
Actually the name of this blog came about because when I set it up, every name I attempted to give it came up as unavailable. Boom. There you have it - it's that simple. If my memory serves me well - and it usually does, I didn't think that would take, but it did. It was a cheesy play on words, but here we are, on this here blog, y'know...the one that was created for one reason and one reason only: to get, and KEEP me writing. It works. Not only that, but there are all kinds of things to write about. Lately that writing just hasn't been here, though it was never my intention to drop off the radar here.
My active mind has too much to do this time of the year and I wouldn't want it any other way. I flippin' love this time of the year, and this year seems to be showing a clarity that I've searched for perhaps my whole adult life - not that I feel much like an adult. I'm not saying I'm there yet, but I'm pointed in the right direction. This hasn't been an easy year for my family - and family is everything. Fortunate are those who see true friendships as part of their family. I'm blessed to be in that crowd and I cherish some very long-standing friendships.
I may be struggling with family loss and a few other things this year, but I can see past those kinds of things and around them, and all that surrounds the events and potential happenings that aren't especially joyous - they are surrounded by people and things that are everything wonderful and good. I'm a firm believer that even on the worst days, there is still so much to be thankful for - and I think it's my personal responsibility to not walk by all of that.
Boom. There you have it - my thoughts as I finish the last of my coffee. There's more on the horizon, but meanwhile, there's a few things to do around here before I head into work. I dunno about you, but today is one incredible day to be grateful. And so, he did....
