A minor update, it's been a while.
First, the superficial. The world of sports loves me this year. My Tampa Bay Lightning just won Lord Stanley's Cup a few days ago, and now my Pistons are about to finish off the Lakers and win the NBA championship. I'm pretty pleased, and enjoy every time I turn my television on to watch these games, although I'm going to miss the seasons, because I really don't care for baseball, or auto racing, and I don't really have a team when it comes to football, so I tend not to get very excited about the season.
In my world of books, I finished Cowgirls, and moved on to reading Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater as usual a dark satirical comedy. Pure Vonnegut genius. Finished reading that, now reading The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan, book 4 of The Wheel of Time series, so far still very involving.
Now on to other less superficial matters. Not sure if I've mentioned it before, but my decision to move is definite now, and I intend to be out of Florida by the end of July, and will be finding myself in a small apartment on the outskirts of Ann Arbor, which I'm pretty excited about, as I have many a very good friend in the vicinity, and something about that city puts me in a state of tranquility. Unfortunately the girls down there may be too cool for my own good, luckily I've had many years of experience at restraining myself from hitting on my lady friends inappropriately, so I should be able to resist my temptations. Plus I seem to be developing something with an past lover into something special, although I don't really know what, but more than just using each other for sex. She's been calling me down here in Florida every few days for a while now, and it's been really nice to have someone who's interested in my existence, as bland as it has been lately. Anyway, she foolishly placed a bet with me on Calgary in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, so when I return to Michigan I'm paying her a visit, and she owes me dinner, a backrub, and a cheap bottle of wine. I'm pretty excited. It'll be fun, and it's been a long time since I could just chill and have some fun and sensuality with a girl, without a bunch of complications and bs.
My sweet little Dovelet turned a year old yesterday, it's hard to believe my cat's already becoming so grown up, soon she'll be looking completely non-kitty. Wow. Taking care of her has made me be a whole different kind of responsible, I can't just take off and go travelling around, because I have her life in my hands. It's kinda eerie, but also helps to remove any twisted desires I may occasionally get to have kids (awful hard to do on my own) because I have enough trouble with Dove. To tell the truth, it's almost enough for me to get a vasectomy, 'cept I don't want anybody doing any surgical procedures down there if it can be avoided.
Anyway, I've been hibernating lately... awake for 6-8 hours, then asleep for 8, awake for 6-8, asleep for 6, awake for 4, asleep for 4... a lot of sleep lately.. I'm hoping that getting a job and being around people will make me more active, more scheduled more.. more alive. I sicken myself with my inactivity, but that's why it's a definite move now.
Some days I wonder if I'd do better in the military, a structure, some discipline. I tend to function better when someone else is telling me what to do, but that's not a real life. Oh well, I'm almost too old now, and I'd have to be insane to do it with this war anyway, plus I ain't killing anyone for any nationalist cause. Especially not this one.
Oh well, we'll see what the future will bring.
