1. Hula hooping is a fantastic hobby. It's also an effective way of keeping the hips strong and toning the midsection. 2. I've been inspired to begin writing/recording things again, or perhaps driven to the madness of such endeavors...sort of in a stripped down doitmyself capacity. Not really too sure when the next thing will be completed or what exactly it will sound like, besides that it will definitely NOT sound a thing like Nickleback or David Hasselhoff....that's the thing about DIU things, is that you don't have deadlines or boundaries like stylistic constraints and genre limitations. So fun. 3. College football once again consumes my saturdays. That and weddings this month. ho-hum. Both actually excite me giddily beyond words, however it's extremely difficulty for me to express in ecstatic tones due to the preceding four hours of mind numbing CE credit courses regarding Insurance Ethics and Legal Regulatory hubbub that were the joy of my Friday evening. 4. Three things that are historically NOT good conversation topics on first dates: Politics, Faith, Former significant others.... Former significant others are rarely good topics for anything. Politics come up eventually if you're on a date with someone intelligent enough to be worth it, but not well-read enough in pop etiquite to realize that the said topic is taboo under aforementioned circumstances. Or with someone who possesses either a great deal of boring pretentiousness, or perhaps a great deal of passion for political prowess. Then again, pop etiquite is what it is, as are boring pretention, and political passion. To each his/her own......Faith on the otherotherhand is one of those items of mysterious intrigue that is sometimes brought up at just the right time and in just the right setting so as to create tightly fixed emotional bonds... ...which may be why traditionally it makes for poor first-date material. 5. Eh, I'm thinking in circles now. Funny how a contemplative evening of reflecting and writing can form tiny crop-circles of your thoughts and keystrokes. 6. Then again, there's something to be said for the continuation of a circular pattern of thinking. OR perhaps the correct description would be more of a spiral pattern. Rather than continually revisiting the same ideas and concepts, retracing the same brutal steps, it's better to spiral outward, doing flybys on recent past perspectives, only viewing them from the broadened perspective of an outwardly traveling spiral. Sometimes I feel as though I've flipped my transmission and am approaching the spiral in reverse, spiraling inward and backwards...internalizing, viewing the exterior world through the diffusing and distorting lense of my own personal atmosphere. 7. Or maybe it's just time for bed. |
