Congratulations on finding your way to this blog (again). I hope you find it entertaining. I hope somebody finds my miserable excuse for an existence amusing. Wait, no, I'm not miserable. I may even be content... or at least complacent. I rarely feel trapped and oppressed. I can't whine about that. Okay, maybe sometimes and in very specific ways I might feel trapped and incompetent. Still, there's a great deal of hope left in me. I don't think I'll confess ALL my personality flaws and moral failings here. There's a temptation to use this as a confessional. There's the desire to unload all the negative thoughts and flush them from the mind. There's the desire to make a connection or to be understood. Maybe there's just a desire to be heard or to get my side of the story out. Why do I have a blog anyway? I guess it's a bit of all of those reasons and a few more. I wonder if anyone other than MT reads this on any kind of regular basis. I don't write in it on a regular basis so I can't expect a following. I don't think I want a following... Okay, I do want a following, but not the responsibility. I'm so weak :)

The weather over the last few days has made driving a bit more interesting. We didn't get much snow here in Lynchburg. We did get an inch or two of sleet. It's pretty wierd. The back yard is kind of hard. It's a bit like when it snows then melts a little then refreezes. This time, however, it came down that way. Anyway I didn't go to church on sunday and the university I work at was closed today. Both days I got up around 9:30 and went back to bed and slept until around noon. That's not really normal for me. It's not like I stayed up any later than usual (except Friday night). I should probably start going to bed earlier and getting up earlier (like before 8am).

My love life is about as lifeless as ever. There are a few women I am interested in, but so far there are no sparks. Maybe I've been too passive. Of course, almost every attempt at activity has been greeted with a cold shoulder and "I value you as a friend but never thought of you in "that" way" treatment. What, me bitter? First base? c'mon I can't even get on the field. ;)

Somehow I gotta get out of the habbit of detailing my flaws and faux pas to the people I should be trying to impress. Well, I think I've said too much again. :)

ciao
