I have a goal...
I mean i have had a goal
Seems like i always have a goal
or some goals
I am trying
there are some things
I want to do more
That i know i will feel better
if i do more
Writing this blog on a regular basis is one of them
(the other two are reading more and getting more exercise... i think these have been things i try and do more of since i was 11 years old...)
So i am trying
I am going to try
and post at least once a week
and hopefully more often
I am going to try
and be okay with just posting whatever...
The thoughts
that go through my head
notes about what i have been thinking about
what i have been googling
i know what Yoda said...
But i don't think i agree...
I think sometimes the best we can do is try...
Anyway...
this week i have been googling
- Eugene Thacker
- Georges Bataille
- Pronoia
- Hypno Fangs (i think this would be a good band name)
- The song Dream Girl by Idina Menzel from the new Cinderella
- Meow Wolf
I have been listening to a lot of crunchy guitar metal and 90's industrial as i it will likely be the musical landscape for the show i am currently sound designing...
I have also been listening to a lot of Chemical Brothers
I have been reading Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas, and re-reading Memories Dreams and Reflections by Carl Jung..
I have been writing stories in my head... when i walk the dog... about portals to parallel dimensions...opened by art of the unconscious... and about prophets of the singularity...
i have been on an emotional roller coaster; marriage, parenting, teenagers... pets... homeownership...
I have been trying to schedule a million meetings for work... and for volunteering... and even for my family....
I have watched my amazing athlete daughters play in volleyball games and swim meets... i have empathized with the youngest who missed two of her last three soccer games and who's final game of the season we had to miss... i have gone on a few hikes in the woods... and searched for air pods...
i have been playing with the dog
i stretched every morning
i worked out once this week - i will try to work out more next week...
i went to an artisan fair and bought an old fashioned shave kit...
made banana bread... and cinnamon roles...
marinated pork for three days then grilled it...
did a million dishes and a few loads of laundry...
perpetually tidied the house...
and thats just a bit...
I guess we'll check in in about a week and see where things are at...
I may post random bits and pieces between now and then...
But next sunday I'll write some more...
have a good week.
