The Journey for a Personal Life (the saga begins)

For 5 years now I have focused on work, clients, servers, and taking care of things of that nature - late nights, early mornings, heck for the last two weeks alone due to season change & time change - the ol phyiscal body is feelin the strain - missed the gym tonight, but heck - feel so rested, its well worth it.

But this year, is my year for finding a life - a rough year last year with both parents health, years before that 24 hr days were a regular (just ask Jon, always saw me on AIM at normal hours in the UK).

So what does “getting a life” entail? Well I am not much of a socialite - don’t get me wrong, get me talking, and I never shut-up! Be it business, or other, if I start talking, even if the person is a complete stranger, I have a tendency for jabbering on and on and on and on and on (etc etc). but I do want to expand my horizons a bit, try to take a long weekend at least once a month, day off a week to relax, and recoup, find new friends, hang out with old ones more, and dare I say it find that ever mysterious thing called “love” - I think the last serious relationship was 6th grade - so branching out to meet new people, new things for fun, or at the very least more of the things I enjoy doing for fun (photos, biking, gym, cooking, reading, choral/instrumental performances, to name a few) but really try to focus a lot of my spare fun/free time towards things away from the computer.

I like the computer, and I do like all of the friends I have online, but I keep hearing about these people, that live in my own town, and are a quick car ride away however I do keep getting offers to goto TN from various people, so who knows, maybe we’ll have ChuckFest 05 later this year from TN - I’ll bring the hotdog buns.

But anywhoo - I am going to start pushing myself a bit more, with the gym anxiety has been a touch less, not gone, but not as intense as it once was, and with some fair sized projects on the table and a office soon to house them better and pull in friends to assist, my time for personal things will increase, and hopefully with the addition of a employee - my time will even more so increase and allow me to spend quality time on things other than computers - not that computers will ever cease to be in my life, but just not letting them BE my life.

Anywhoo - It’s 1:30am, I have some final DNS changes to make, and once thats done I am going to try the going to sleep thing and see if I can make it till morning.

Till next time!
