Well, it's certainly been a while, again.
I really haven't had a good excuse for not updating this in so long. I have an excuse, procrastination, but like I said, it's not a good one. Anyway, here's an update.
I've made decent progress in my workouts, though I had to take off the first three weeks of July to recover from a lower back injury that I suffered in late March. I thought that I could get away with compensating for it, but after three months of putting up with pain and discomfort, I bit the bullet, and made the decision to rest for more than just the one week that I'd originally planned. It's paid off. I'm not suffering any pain or discomfort outside normal daily stresses.
I've been going to Rumours Night Club every Thursday night (and once on a Saturday; big mistake) for Retro night. I have no problem finding dance partners. In fact, they find me, and about 90% (unscientific guess lol) of them are women who I have previously considered out of my league. I'm guessing that my improved physical condition (put bluntly, I used to be fat) and the fact that I'm a good dancer contribute to that. Speaking of the dancing, according to Chris, aka Moo, who some of you may know, my dancing has apparently made me a legend at Rumours. Sure, I've received compliments about 3/4 or more of the time, but I didn't think that it had gone quite that far. If it's true, I'm extremely flattered.
On the artistic front, I've been continuing with my poetry and photography. I haven't been to any open mics in about the last four months, but I hope to change that this Fall. Recently, inspired by an online friend on one of the message boards I'm a member of, I opened an account at deviantART. I already had one, but I haven't done anything in the two years since I created it. I couldn't change my ID, so I just created a new one. Anyway, take a look at http://dj-eclipse.deviantart.com if you're interested.
On the romantic front, there have been a couple of maybes, but nothing definite, as usual. If I compromised my values, I'm sure that I'd have a much easier time finding someone, but if I did that, I'd seriously dislike myself, at the very least, so that's not going to happen.
I guess that's about all I have to say for now. Maybe, just maybe, I'll update again sooner than five months down the road. lol
