Haha, that's what it sounds like when someone throws up.
Okay, well, I feel like there was this weird symbiote that sapped all of my energy and creativity and I just haven't been able to do much of anything. It turns out that that was kind of true because I had diabetes but I didn't know for a while and if you don't know you have a disease, there's a good chance you're not treating it. Anything left untreated will eat away at you and can kill you. Luckily, I met with a doctor and got things sorted out as well as changing my diet and lifestyle somewhat. In addition to all this, I've moved from where I lived to a town about twenty miles away.
So, is all that an excuse for why I haven't been writing? No, it's just what's been going on. I think writing, painting or whatever creative process needs to be fed as if it is alive. I stopped feeding that thing inside of me for a long time and it was damn near dead. The thing about those creative processes is they never really will die, they just shrink until they sit curled up in the corner, waiting to be called on again. As soon as you start feeding it again, it will start growing just as strong as before.
Let's put the cliches aside now and focus on the real issues.Since I last posted, lots has happened in the world but I never really feel qualified to put my feelings up because I am the type to go with my gut and then my gut is not always right. I will say I feel like there have been a lot of deaths recently that have been dealt with in strange ways. Trayvon Martin got shot and killed and instead of going "Wow, a kid died," some people focus on his personal life as if they can prove that he deserved to die. Likewise, Cory Monteith from "Glee" died and I've seen people actually post on messageboards that they are glad he's dead. Now, I do guess that some of them are just trying to shock/annoy/troll but it's a pretty horrible sentiment to express.
So there's my downer portion of the blog. Let's focus on some good things...John Stewart left the Daily Show to go direct a movie and, while the movie he's making sounds interesting, what I'm really loving is having Jon Oliver take his place. He is absolutely amazing. Pacific Rim came out and it appears to be the movie that 10 year old me would have given half my Legos to see. I started baking delicious diabetic friendly snacks which may deserve their own post but it would basically just be reposts of other peoples recipes with the commentary "I like it." Still, it's fun.
I guess I don't really have anything else to say. Or, I should say I have so much to say that it's hard to focus on one thing. So, if you read through all that other stuff and you liked what you saw, expect more, soon. If you read through all that other stuff and you didn't like it, why would you still be reading right now? You're weird. I like weird people, though, so you ought to stick around and see what happens. I'll try to write something for you, too, you reading-what-you-don't-like weirdo.
