What to write…

I have never been a skilled writer - my blog is really just a place to vent, put my thoughts down on digital paper so to speak - take what’s bouncing around in my brain, and give it somewhere else to live for 5 minutes as I convert a hazy thought into a sentence that makes sense to me, no one else probably, and lately my brain has had a lot to say, this past Friday was one of the better days - amazing that behind a camera my brain is off. I am concentrating on the moment, the shots, the area around me, its not my room, it’s not the office, it’s not a restaurant, it’s outdoors, its open air, its a breath of fresh air.

Over the last year while I have worked, researched, and tested new hosting ideas out, I have fallen back in love with 2 things in my life, music and art - my two real escapes anymore, either here @ the iMac plunk’n away at the piano, or out on a FotoFriday snapping some shots of nature, driving previously my Neon and now my Cobalt off-road where I should really have a truck lol - but I find joy in these things, I find peace and joy apart from the stresses of the day, the week, etc.

The last 2 weeks folks have told me to do what I am good at, to be a System Administrator, and while I do a fair job, and know a lot of computer stuff as one friend said “You know computers very well, that’s a gift, that’s a talent” and I am not doubting that, but going back to the big things that bring me joy, the things that helped me growing up to release, relax, music - pounding what must of seemed like nonsense to my parents on the piano, going on choral trips singing in massive churches/concert halls, that was good stuff, and now with Photography its another release - now if I just had a swimming pool, I’d be set, 25 laps, I’d be perfect ;)

I honestly don’t know what the future holds for me right now, as much as I would like to say with the great hyperactive brain that I have it all figured out, I don’t - but I do think I am going to hide out for a bit, not entirely, but really take some time to do some things around the house, get my disaster area room cleaned up, get my taxes done and finished, and spend some time on me, getting myself in order before I go off trying to save the world.

So here’s to a week of me - I’ll still be on IM, email, cell will be on, and I imagine I’ll be going out some to get some air now and again, but just some things which need to be taken care of, who knows, with a few of these things out of the way the rest will start to fall into place. Prayers are appreciated, I wish I could say exactly what’s going on with me, but I have no real idea, something is changing, hopefully for the better. Take care all.
