Don’t
even get me started on my personal blog. *ugh* It has almost been ONE WHOLE
YEAR!!!
So,
initially, this was just going to be a short introduction to the other blog I was writing (another taxi-cab rant)
when I realized I hadn’t written a blog entry in about… uh, I’m actually not
sure when my last blog was. Several deadlines ago. Then, I realized that there
multiple re-cuses (when a reason and an excuse become one) as to
why I have not been blogging.
I
will admit that I may not be able to supply bloggage on a weekly basis due to
some new life circumstances. So, until then, you will just have to be satisfied
with this simplistic post of truth, honesty, and humorous self-reflection. Full
disclosure:
1.
I started driving cars and I’m trying to get back into writing
my fictional, short-story works—DAMMIT, no, I can’t start this blog off with a
lie… let me begin with the WHOLE truth…
1.
The real 1.: I
apparently enjoy my Sunday Fundays in San Francisco (SFSF?!) too much. I admit
it. Bottomless mimosas in San Francisco, time in Dolores Park thereafter
enjoying a pleasant bottle of beer with some delicious snacks, and then gorging
on dinner equals one thing: an early bedtime with minimal productivity. It’s
not my fault, it’s society’s fault! And the mimosas! And the non-marijuana park
treats!! (Seriously, pot-free. And delicious!)
2.
So, funemployment provided the perfect forum for blogging,
tweeting, over-facebooking, job-hunting, career-dreaming, tv-watching, comic
book reading, video gaming, regular reading, social interacting, beering, shot
taking, swearing that I’m not an alcoholic…ing… Getting a job kinda took the
fun right out of funemployment! (Don’t you dare glare or sigh at that last
statement—THAT WAS PUNNY DAMMIT!!)
3.
Tacoma provided a good location for bus-blogging… that and the
fact that I could actually bus around for free right when I became
funemployment. I maaaay have kept my free bus pass after I got let go for a
month in a half. (Not my fault work never asked for it back and didn’t shut it
off until late June. #forthewin) Yeah, bussing around in SF/the Bay Area is
kinda expensive and also sorta sketch sometimes.
4.
I actually only have a 5-10 minute bus commute to work now. My
walk to my bus stop is actually longer than my bus ride. Sooooo I’m not on the
bus as much anymore (no more 1 ½ hour commute to work from home)!
5.
It’s not that I ran out of ideas… because I have a blog idea
for next week. BOOYA!!! It’s the week after that I may be screwed. I’ve also
been distracting myself with other side projects, like Mathias' Jacket, my personal
twitter, books, some writing (nothing big), mimosasing—so I have some writers block, in certain arenas.
6.
Some days I remember that I’m in a slightly sketchier part of
town, wherein if I jot down notes of what people are saying I may accidentally
be recording evidence in a trial of some sort… seriously… not trying to start
trouble. The docile crazies of Tacoma are… y’know, too crazy to do anything.
7.
People are just sliiiiightly more aware of if you’re taking a
picture of them on the bus here. Also, people beside you are more verbally
protective of random strangers on the bus in San Francisco. TOTALLY makes
photographing strange bus-goers way
harder.
8.
Some days DailyGrace
takes over your freetime, your creative world, and your soul…
9.
Bonding with the new roomie and catching up with old friends!
10.
Some days I just get wrapped up in the new environment that
I’m now in… not so much in the beauty-aspect of the city, just more in the “I
really don’t want to get lost in my newish city and end up in the wrong part of
town… or get off at the wrong stop… or miss the coffee shop or bar or
restaurant I’m trying to find.” In short, I’m wrapped up in my own business.
BOOM!!! Truth! That sound right there… that was honesty. And
honestly, at least one more blog is coming. And here’s a pledge: I will try to
eavesdrop more, be more sneaky with my photographing, and find inspiration (not
in the form of mimosas who hath no bottom) in something that will provide AWESOMELY
FUNNY AND MOVING BLOGS.
That or I’ll just
beg the Bandito Betty to blog… (begging may come sooner than we think). Till
next week, bus safe, comment on our twitter, and enjoy our facebooking
MADNESS!!!
Till next I blog. ~wanz
