Because You Care

I'm writing a blog today, despite all the work I have to do and my fast-approaching deadline, because I know you care. Ok, that's a lie. I have no idea if you care... and if I'm going to make a guess about things based on analytical means, I would say there's a better chance that you don't care. I'm not being a downer, but come on, let's be real.

I have a video due early this coming week. I am not at the point of entering "freak out" mode where I pound my head with the questions "WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?!?" But if I don't pick up my pace, I will be in some trouble.

I was talking to my friend Kelly about the niceties and difficulties of having almost no set work schedule. It's very nice to do stuff on your own time and to help people who need a ride or help in the middle of the day, when everyone else is at their 9-5 job. But when you don't have a set work schedule, I think there is a much higher tendency to put in more hours than the typical person (especially if you care about your work like I do). I wish I had the structure and willpower to designate specific times during the week to do work. As it is, I wait until the last possible minute to get my work done.

So now I feel like a video editing recluse in my house. I need more visitors. For that, maybe I need more friends. I think I'm a pretty good friend. At the very least, people should want to be my friend for the superficial reasons of: I will cook them fine cuisine, I have an enormous DVD collection that we can choose from, and I just bought a blender at an estate sale today, soooo... SMOOTHIES!

Maybe I don't have friend because everyone has read my blog and realized I'm boring. This is boring. I should start writing more interesting blogs. I used to be good at this. Something inside me is dying; I can only hope it's my intestinal parasite, but fear it is my fun, spontaneous side. Let's try start a newish year resolution of entertaining/thought provoking blogs.

Questionaire

Hey kiddos,

I just put up a post on pragmatically charged, and would love any input I can get. The link to the post can be found here.

I Wish I Had More To Say

Not much to say other than I feel like starting up a personal blog again. Since the theft of my excellent Powebook G4 I have not written a Daily Account, and I know there are about 3 people in the world that have felt devastated by that. If you are new to the Steve's Daily Account experience you can relive some of the good ol' moments from past DA's here.

The main reasons for me wanting to start this up again are the following...

1. Documentation of jokes
• My friends and I will say and do random things that relate to nothing and will be lost forever unless made eternal through this DA. Truly it is the only hope of many of them last for more than a week, a month, or a year in our brains.
2. Relief of pent up weirdness
• I truly do feel for those who know me well enough to know the real me. I try to act "behaved" around some, but one way or another I need to be witty, weird, and wrandom (the three W's) on a fairly regular basis or else I get hilarity constipation... and that can get messy if not dealt with
3. Changes of Life
• I would say my life right now is very much shifting and restless. I don't expect this to change much anytime soon. A lot of solid things in my life has been pulled out from beneath my feet (typically by my own hand). My beliefs, my friendships, my vision, and my oppositions are all things I am continually reevaluating.

This blog is not meant to be some philosophical or Biblical discussion, but often times it will look like that... just from a more personal point of view. For a slightly less personal view I'll still be posting pretty regularly on my other blog Pragmatically Charged.

I don't expect a whole lot in the way of comments here, but they are certainly welcome in any regard.

Well, hopefully I'll have more about my life, thoughts, and sarcastic verbal thrashings on my next post.

Be Ye Bodacious,

Steve
