I haven't forgotten you, I've just been distracted...

It's been quite some time since I've blundered anything onto the interweb directed at Live Journal.  I do have a facebook page, that I generally post short lil snips here and there  on to, but alas, nothing major has been posted in regards to my thoughts etc.  You see, I've been stupidly busy with a million different things going on.  Ok, let's be serious, not a million, but quite a few projects indeed. Between life, work, snowboarding, my review web site, and the new company I started, I've been absorbed into a daily routine that has kind of, well not kind of, but has resulted in blatant neglect of keeping up with friends and their goings on.  You see when I finally get some time to myself, as I have today in this hotel room here in San Francisco, where I can stop, breathe, and enjoy the beautiful day outside, I realized I've missed out on quite a bit of several of my friends life.  That indeed is a bummer, as I used to think I was pretty consistent with keeping in touch with the people I trusted, loved and valued.   I found myself stumbling back to LJ today, seeking updates for those of you I know keep up with such things, and like a trusty ol childs blanket, I found postings that got me up to date, and made me feel as if I am at least some what current in your lives, giving me that warm fuzzy that you are all still here.   It's quite easy to let ones self fall away from it all, and get absorbed into day to day routines, and alas, I'm a victim of that.  There are times where you feel like the days are not long enough, as if I could open the sky and pluck the sun to reset it for a few hours heh.   I find as I've spent time traveling the world this past year, my brain has been on a wandering journey.  What if I did this, and how about this, and Oh yeah, what is this happened, and I contributed this, and this happens due to that, and reactions from this make that and so on and so on, like a lego building set of ideas growing higher and higher.  It's in these times that I really understand how precious each and every little thing on this rock is.  We're not guaranteed anything, so take your dreams and run with them, understand them, embrace them, and live, love and dream!  To those of you who call me a friend, I'm genuinely thankful.

Happy St Patricks Day!
