I like this song.

Lately, I have felt less inspired to write online about the daily events of my life, or about anything really. In a way, this saddens me, because I want to feel enthusiastic. I want to have that fire. I want the fulfillment that it has often yielded in the past. I want to share. Sometimes, it just isn't there though.

I want to conjure a beautiful dream. I want to imagine a world into existence, and allow others to enter and enjoy it. I admire and envy people who are able to do this.

Where do we go from here?

A stressful time at work this week. Not so stressful for myself personally, but for some others it is. I fear I have not helped the situation much with my attitude. That's not to say I haven't endeavored to do the job with mostly-textbook professionalism, because I think I have. However, I recently realized that a common way for me to react to a less than 100% perfect situation is to make semi-constructive sounding criticisms about items that nobody present can really do anything about, especially at the present instant. Thinly veiled idle complaints, really. Saying it doesn't really help matters, because it's typically things nobody can do anything about, and I know this. It's a coping mechanism on my part. Quite curious.

Immediately after getting off work today (plus a brief trip to the hospital for a blood draw), I arrived in the Lair and immediately crashed. Slept for nearly three hours. Considered not getting up at all again until morning, but by 2100, I was getting restless. Threw in a load of laundry, watched a couple music videos, and considered whether to stay up and watch a film that has recently entered my possession. I decided against it, because I've been running myself a bit short on sleep lately, and I figured I could probably enjoy it more at a time when I know I don't have to wake up for work the next morning. I'm guessing that 48 hours from now, I shall be enjoying thoroughly.

Today for lunch, I along with several others ate at the grand opening of the new Noodles restaurant. With great excitement, we arrived, and made the shocking discovery that all the items on the menu were exactly the same as all 3 previously existing chain locations in the area! It wasn't crowded at all, so we managed to get our food very quickly.

After eating, we still had nearly half an hour of lunch break left, so several of us decided to go for a quick trip to Best Buy across the street. All three (of the Best Buy goers) came out with some form of merchandise. A slick mousepad for one, a Mummy Ultimate Edition DVD for the second, and an AntiTrust Special Edition DVD for the third. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine which of the three was me.

....Dig this Perfect Circle music....

So here I am, right back in rambling rhythm again. Maybe it just takes a few minutes of mindless spouting of words to get my brain into that mode.

Well, I don't think I'll push my luck. Goodnight. Signing off.
