I have three other blogs besides the Shack that I more or less run, but I don’t really spend much time on any of them. They kind of exist in a sort of limbo in which I tend to them upon the odd occasion.
It is a bit frustrating because they started with such potential. I took much of what I had learned from this blog and tried to apply it there. The goal was to do more, improve and grow, create a bionic blog.
Can’t really say that I have succeeded or failed and for the moment I am ok with that. Ok, I lied, I don’t really feel good about it, but I have more important issues occupying my time. That is part of the joy of being a responsible adult, making decisions about priorities and then acting upon them.
So for now I have made the choice to try and focus somewhat upon this little corner of cyberspace. As I enter my fifth year I have the same goals and objectives as always. It is time to improve the writing and layout and be discovered as the next great writer so that I can make one gazillion dollars.
Hell, I don’t need a gazillion or a bazillion, I’d settle for a million
Played ball today. I needed it. When I got to the gym I was in a foul mood. Fire was coming from my nose and laser beams were shooting from my eyes. I punished the opposition on the boards. I threw myself into the breach over and over. Every loose ball that I could get to was something that I wanted.
The goal was to completely exhaust myself and I did it. My team played five games. We won the first four, but couldn’t quite get over the hump to win the fifth. It was a bit disappointing, but I just ran out of gas and literally stumbled into the locker room.
I tore off my clothes and dragged my lazy ass to the sauna. I sat down and leaned against a wall and just listened to the conversation. After about 15 minutes I had sufficiently recovered enough energy to stagger to the jacuzzi. Soaked my aching body and then stumbled into a chair and fell asleep.
Apparently the fellas were less than pleased with the loud snoring emanating from me so they dropped a bag of ice on my belly and were surprised to find that I didn’t spring from my chair. Instead I opened my eyes and used my heat vision to scorch the hell out of the jackasses who were foolish enough to disturb my rest.
Ok, that is an exaggeration, I don’t really have heat vision. But if I did I might have some splaining to do to a few people.
Eventually I managed to shower, get dress, drive home and eat dinner. Don’t remember all that much from after dinner because I fell asleep again. Can’t say how long I slept for except that I woke up with enough energy to do a few things around the house and then made my way here.
Almost midnight and I can’t decide whether to crawl back between the sheets or just write. May try to bang out some more Johnny and June or may do something else. Stick around and you might found out what happens.
