This is why I stopped in the first place. I cant seem to write anything for weeks at a time. I guess I am not that interested in it right now. Too many things on my plate? Maybe. Nothing interesting to say? That too. Really though its just a simple lack of intertia. Back when I used to write regularly it was an everyday thing where even if I did not post every day I started something that I could post the next day. It was nice back in those days because I had plenty of down time to sit around and concentrate on things to talk about. Now I am spending my free time doing other things.
Actually, I just do the same things I did back then but a little more of it and find less time to write about it. I work a lot more hours these days than I used to. Not that I like it but I cant remember a week recently that I haven’t put in 45+ hours. I sleep a lot less too. I am up between 6 and 7 almost everyday. And if I am not headed straight to the gym I am usually jumping on the computer checking my email and getting to work. Thankfully, life isn’t all work, I have combated the extra hours with plenty of fun stuff and some very domestic ones as well. Between my usual chill out activities and plenty of stuff with the girl I keep really busy.
I have fallen into a pretty nice little situation with my girl, spending most of our nights together each week. We try to make dinner together at home more than we eat out which has become a lot of fun. It is also a lot of work, finding new recipes, preparing all the ingredients. Totally worth it if you ask me but when you are working til 6 and it takes you forever to prepare dinner you don’t have a lot of time to sit and chill. On a given week I am probably spending only 1 or 2 nights by myself. And those are the only nights are really have time to just sit and do nothing.
On nights like tonight when I am alone and have plenty of time I find myself doing a lot of nothing. Tonight and other nights like it would seem to be the perfect time to write something, yet I rarely do. Instead, I usually end up playing video games, reading books, watching DVDs or TV shows or just messing around on the computer. All things that are great ways to avoid work and give myself a rest away from this laptop of mine.
Still, I am trying and would really like to get that momentum going to write more often. I am writing elsewhere on a group blog and sports message boards. I just need to refocus here so I am not writing once every three weeks.
