Its interesting…..I haven’t posted anything to this site in over 8 months. My last post was April 13th to be exact. I go home to spend time with my family, I get reminded that I have a website, and I get a short burst of enthusiasm to fill the web with my thoughts. I’m opinionated and I like to write. So that would mean that this should be easy and I should be posting all the time right? Well, clearly not so much.
I guess that if I’m honest with myself, I’m a tad fickle. I cave to the flavor of the month, get caught up in hype, and get distracted. Does this make me a member of the great unwashed? I can think of at least one person who might think so. Personally, I’m not so sure. There are definitely some benefits. I can’t say that I’m particularly bored, but at the same time, I have too many unfinished projects. There is a rational excuse for each of them of course. Come on, you do it too.
So what’s a fickle fiend to do? Fight temptation and demonstrate dedication? Put on blinders and charge down the course to the finish line? Maybe, but there is a cool phrase I didn’t say that might be worth considering:
Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
Its true that my career as a movie critic has had more starts and stops than a tired old ‘84 Chevy Nova, and my great novel is nothing more than a few notes on this laptop, but they’re still things I’ve explored. I’ve learned a bit from everything I’ve tried and I know myself a little better. Cheesy? Definitely. Wise? Beyond my ears (no, that’s not a typo). So I’m fickle, there are worse things to be. Who knows, maybe I’ll find a true passion some day. I’ve already found one, and I married her (ladies, if there are any out there reading this, feel free to sigh. And if you’re feeling generous, throw in an awwwww. Guys, just stand clear of your screen when you hurl.)
Oh well, who knows what will come up next. I have some ideas, but do I have the attention span to post it? Find out next time…..whenever that is!
