Back, Back, Back to the Disaster, My Heart’s Beating Faster
Posted by on March 28th, 2009, at 12:48am

The last month has been difficult. I’m facing new challenges generally related to the economic situation in the United States. As such, I’ve been focusing energy and effort in areas related to this.

That, and there’s been a lot of good TV on.

Battlestar Galactica is over. I caught up and watched the last half of season 4. This show has some of the best writing I’ve ever seen in a television show.

Dollhouse and Castle are my favorites from the new season. I’m a Whedon fanboy, and I enjoy talented Whedon alumni. Seeing Summer Glau in Terminator: SCC, and Nathan Fillion in Castle has been fun.

I’m going to try to remain consistent in posting on this blog, but to be honest a lot of my “social” energy has been getting dumped into Twitter and Facebook these days. However, I do value my loyal blog readers and the thousands of random people who find it looking for my WordPress plugin, so I will continue to update here as well.

Rollover

The roller coaster is beginning in earnest now. I’ve been posting vague status updates all over the place and that’s about the best I can do here, too, unfortunately. Let’s just say… life is about to get really interesting and possibly really difficult.

Where will I be four months from now?

I don’t know.

I’m looking for my voice. I seem to have lost it somewhere along the way.

Today I named the emo bear on my t-shirt. His name is Shane. He weeps during sad songs and movies. Dr. Horrible made him sad. Now he’s watching an old Green Day music video – “Wake Me Up When September Ends.” Explosions kill people as he watches. He wonders when it will end.

I began making a list of goals for 2009. I am having a hard time with them. Constraints: economy, vacation time, fear, lack of fellow travelers.

Translation: I see human drama unfold around me, men and women’s lives crash together and separate again, and I wish I could feel the pleasure and the pain so long as I’m feeling more than alone.

Secondhand Serenade has the same flavor of music as Dashboard Confessional. A man, a guitar, and problems. I’ve been enjoying it. Fortunately, I haven’t been subjugated to any airing it may or may not have had on MTV, but it’s good. It’s catchy. It fits me.

Familiarity.

Still Counting The Days

“A thousand things I wanna say to you, but it’s too late now.” – Goldfinger – Counting the Days

9861. Days alive.
~3200. Days since graduating high school.
1651. Days since graduating college.
1494. Consecutive days of singleness.
782. Days sober.
145. Days since starting my job.
131. Days without a haircut.
51. Days without shaving.
1. Days until 27.

These are the days of my life. What are yours?

(Hint: use the date duration calculator.)

Hesitance kills ideas. It kills progress. It kills momentum.

Hesitance kills your dreams.

If you constantly worship at the altar of hesitation, you forfeit.
