Blog
I’m staring at this word processor screen feeling completely blank.
It’s not as though I believe that I have nothing to say. I’ve been in a fair amount of emotional flux of late; there are things happening in life. But I don’t know how to express any of it.
I think maybe I’ve become to accustomed to writing out my cynicisms, fears, and personal triumphs into the words and situations of characters in my creative writing. It’s where a lot of me is going right now (one of the afore mentioned “things”), and while I feel that’s a good thing, I also made a commitment to myself to make regular updates to this blog, and this is the first thing I’ve written in over a week.
What else could it be, though?
Drainage? I don’t think so. I’m feeling fairly alive. When I sleep, I’m out like a fucking hammer. I’ve started a morning routine in a quest to lose some weight, and I’m already seeing some of the positive effects of that. Well not really seeing, but feeling. Perhaps seeing. I’m not sure. I’ve lost five pounds since I weighed myself the time before last, and while I seem to hover around my current state, that coupled with my early start on summer exercise can be construed as nothing but positive.
I’ve been in touch with some people that I haven’t spoken with in some time. Since most of the people that I give any sort of shit about live somewhere else (not in Edmonton), it makes correspondence difficult normally. But it’s great to hear from them and have good conversations once again.
My brother got some surgery last week (positive surgery, not scary surgery), and he’s feeling better… Or so he tells me. Which is good. He’s had a bit of a rough go with a lot of things in his life to this point, but he handles things better than I can imagine most people doing. He’s passionately and uncompromisingly himself, which is completely admirable. My sister and her boyfriend have just moved into a new house that they seem really happy about. She says that their first night in the new digs already felt like home. She’s another person who is confident in who she is and what she says and she doesn’t take crap from anyone. She’s been with her boyfriend since high school and I can’t imagine anyone better for her to be with. He’s an amazing person… And together, I envy them. I love my siblings more than anyone in the world and it makes me happy to know that they are doing well and that the recent changes in their lives are for the better.
I guess that while I have no specifics; nothing to really express… I guess I should consider that a good thing, and not just a blog-writing hindrance. I’m expressing myself in my creative endeavors and I believe that to be among the most therapeutic and soul-satisfying things a person can do.
