Blog is a funny word...

I actually typo'd blog at the top of the page to "blgo" while I was writing the title. I thought that word looked funny also, so I figured you all should know.

OK... engaging blog launch sequence.

Once again, I haven't blogged in a while, and once again, I'm going to say how I should do it more and that I will. I probably won't blog any more often, but since I've been making that particular false promise in every single blog... I figure there is no reason to break tradition.

There are actually a lot of reasons why I haven't been blogging at all. That is kind of what I am here to tell you all about! I've been pretty busy with work, physical therapy and all that jazz. The knee is recovering very nicely. I can walk with no issues at all now. I can jog into a building from the rain, which is more of a blessing than you think, especially with the way the weather has been for the last few weeks in the lovely town of Springfield. Work is work. There's been a lot of things happening on that front recently as well. So that has kept me busy. I felt like I had a lot more going on in my life that were keeping me so busy, but apparently there isn't. Wow, this whole paragraph just lost a lot of steam... moving on!

I've been feeling pretty restless lately. I love Springfield and the people I see every day but I just keep thinking that I'm supposed to be doing something different. I don't have the slightest idea what it is though. It's strange. I feel like I should have had all this stuff figured out by this point in my life. I feel a lot like I'm about 21 again and am getting ready to embark on this big journey we call life and have no idea what on earth I'm supposed to do with it. I haven't had a ton of purpose lately. Typing that just reminded me of the song "Purpose" from Avenue Q. Great song, great show.

I could go ahead and just keep doing what I am doing probably forever. My life is pretty great overall, but I just feel like there's something more that is supposed to happen. It seems that I'm just doing what I need to in order to be relatively happy and then call it good. I think I might be getting tired of that. I don't really have any reason to do what I'm doing. I have tons of friends with kids, families, bills, houses, cars, etc. that give them reason to do what they are doing. I think having those types of reasons adds a lot of purpose to what they are doing. I'm not at all saying that I want kids or a family or anything like that right now, I'm really far from wanting that type of a situation. I just would like to have a reason for doing what I am doing in my life. Bleh, it might not make sense, but that's how I'm feeling right now.

This blog took a sharp turn into depressing, self-introspection town and I'm sorry for that. I've just had a lot of people asking what has been on my mind recently, and this forum seemed like the best way to put it out there. I really do enjoy writing, it helps me organize my thoughts. It is also like having a conversation with myself about what I'm thinking. Griffey has to "run out" all his energy that he has from sitting in the house all day and my writing is how I mentally "run out" all this stuff that is swirling in my head. I write a lot more often than I blog but most of it doesn't make it to the blog because it's not all that interesting. Sort of like whats written above!

I'll be back to my normal blogging self soon. I just figured that I wanted to write about all this stuff and why not post it up for people to talk about if they wanted to. Funny stuff will be coming soon. I promise!

TLDR: I said one more time that I'll blog more, but I probably won't. I need some purpose in my life. I write things down instead of talking to myself. I'll be more funny next time, I promise.

See you all tonight at the Halloween party! If you aren't there, then we are fighting.

Thanks for stopping by!
