Wow... really what can I say about this month? Eh, I've seen better, and worse, not a typical way to kick off my summer, but eh, what the hell.
So, what to do over the next 3.5 months. It isn't the best time of year, nor do I care for it very much, the only plus is the warm weather, but then again this is Utah, a hot arrid climate, that is too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter, and in all seasons overall just too unpredictable. This place is one of the worst to be in for skin cancer, because of the environment. I don't see much sun anyway.
I've found my wireless hookup to be rather useful, esp during the time of the family visiting... I don't have to be such a recluse anymore, I can get out, use it, be connected, get work done etc. One of the next investments is going to be to get a faster newer laptop, but I'm picky, being in the technical field for 2 years these days I just can't seem to get a decent laptop for the correct price of what its worth, true I'm making good bank these days, but I'm cheap.
I have alot of high sites and goals over the next few years. Lots of new things, and ambitions to pursue. But to sum it all up in the end when I retire in the next few years, it will be a nice quiet life. Somehow that me seem uncharacteristic of me in many's opinions and views, but once I retire, its out of the spotlight, and away from anything that resembles what I'm currently doing. Sure the associations are quite interesting, and the events are superb, but once I hit that point, I'm done, and given in the next few years I will have reached that point, I can't complain too much.
I should update this journal, like a weekly log, or something of that nature, but... I just can't quite seem to make that happen. I enjoy writing, but simply enough my flair for it is rather dull. I used to be quite disciplined in that respect, but it has changed. Having taken the choices opted, a successful businessman or a starving writer, I think the businessman approach was better. It will take years of quiet solitude and dedication to refine my works for public display anyway.
Perhaps this journal hit a more personal and close to home than most of mine, but for some reason I just had to get somethings off my chest, at least I know and have the comfort that some people that I know quite well and absolute strangers might just happen to run across this tiny little tidbit of a simple man's life across the vastness of cyberspace, who can say really, but its been quite the ride and I'll be more than happy to be off of this rollercoaster.
