(no subject)
Hmm, the masses have swamped me with email, demanding another entry, and I'm bored at work anyway, so I guess I can ramble a bit.
Where to start? Well, to those that are wondering if I have dropped off the planet, I haven't. I'm still around, I've just been spending a bit of time thinking about life and everything. Best explanation for it I can give is that change is evil.
Admittedly I am a bit of a pessimist, and being so, I tend to see the worst outcomes from change whenever it is on the horizon, as it is now for me. Before I get any messages asking me what's wrong, I'll tell my hordes of fans that the "change" on the horizon is a simple move into a new apartment. I just don't like all the various work involved with this, and would be quite happy maintaining the status quo.
Someone once said "if you plan for the worst, then any surprises you get will be pleasant." This has always seemed to me a good management, but I'm not sure today. I guess I'm in kinda a questioning mood, but it seems that this only leads to depression.
Continuing with my theme of not having a theme, I guess I'll mention that I am back on caffeine (and have been for a week now). I know I'm a hopeless addict, but I've decided that I'm better on caffeine than I am off it, as I get progressively more grumpy and not pleasant to be around the longer I am off it, and it appears to be linear (meaning that it is not "getting better with time"). Being in a grumpy mood all the time seems to lead me to offend/annoy/piss off/... people that I'm friends with, and the last thing I want to do is annoy them.
I guess this also contributes to my "retreat" of late, I don't know.
I suppose at a strange twist, I'll offer a bit of positive encouragement, after this long, boring and depressive entry: The first challenge is the challenge to try, no one can tell you what the future will bring, you have to have the courage to go out and find it.
At worst, you try and fail, but at least you have the courage to play the game. Failure is not the end, I've seen that many times. Losing the will to try, falling into the trap of apathy, that is the approach of the end. Go out and live life as you will.
