melancholy and the infinite sadness

There are times in life where you are so simultaneously antsy and immobile that there seems nothing to do other than wax poetic to your laptop.

For the sake of order, I feel it necessary to apologize for my lack of posts over the past few months. Intercontinental travel, changing jobs and moving three times in 4 weeks takes a toll...no excuses though, I just haven't taken the time to sit and write. And I need to...since this blog is here for me after all :)

That being said, this is also "National Write a Novel Month" or something like that. Interesting concept, and I forgot it was until the 4th and by then I was already 4 days behind. Woah, this post is already chock full of BS and I haven't even started yet...

WE NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG:

There are times in life where you are so simultaneously antsy and immobile that there seems nothing to do other than wax poetic to your laptop.

I'm sitting here at 10pm and it feels like 3am. This has felt like the longest week ever and not because of work. A good friend of mine died in a scooter accident last week and I have spent a lot of time thinking about (and trying not to think about) everything having to do with it.

What does this mean?!
What am I doing with my life?!
What really matters?!
What do I really want, and am I focused on attaining it?!
Other things with exclamations and questions!?

sometimes it is so hard to laugh in the face of tragedy, and sometimes there is no other choice

one thing is for sure, I am so glad for what I have, and I love my friends and family.

...Sh*t I guess that's two things....
