Back On The Horn

You could say that it's been awhile since the last time I wrote a blog entry and you'd be right. My life has changed 500% from what it was when I started this blog. Meeting the love of your life, moving several times, going through several jobs, and going on countless adventures will do that to a man. When I started this blog, I was pretty solitary. My social connections were like dial up: slow, not very satisfying, not something you could count on. Now that I've come full circle in life back to the town where I first lived, my connection is Fios. Getting married doubled my social bandwidth so that helps too.

So now that I am no longer a sole voice crying out in the wilderness, what's the point of this blog? It is what it's always been: an outlet for self-expression. A writer's gotta write. Keeps us young and virile, flexible of the mind, keeps rust from developing on our souls. The snow melting off my roof tells my that Spring can't be too far away. Another season of change and indeed, I am contemplating changes professionally and in my lifestyle. When I think about it, I realize that we set ourselves up for failure making resolutions at the beginning of the year. Who really wants to eat healthy, work out, stop picking our noses in public, or start actually being a decent human being when the days are cold, dark, and short (like Danny DeVito)? Better to make your resolutions for change when the world and all of nature is telling you that it's a good season to start anew. I am certain that Spring Resolutions would be met with far greater success than New Year's Resolutions are.

Starting this blog back up and actually posting with some regularity is one of my Spring Resolutions. Next post will deal with other thoughts for other resolutions. It may not be much, but I feel that I am off to a good start.
