Only 150,000km

We're looking for $1200, OBO.

Tag! You're it!!

OK, so a good friend of mine has tagged me with an blog-assignment. I have to share 5 things about myself that nobody knows, then tag 5 people with the same assignment.

1. I am confused.
- I live life trying to be as confident as possible, but a lot of times I feel forgetable (it's amazing how few people recognize me after a long time apart) and ashamed that I haven't been able to accomplish more.

2. My hobby is a distraction from what I really need/want.
- I built a fishroom and have 14 aquariums to keep me busy so that I forget about all of the wonderful things that I don't want to do because they're hard and have caused me alienation. I'm still alienated, but at least my hobby is "normal".

3. Deleted on behalf of Mother-in-law...

4. I'm shallow.
- I think #3 gives that away. I enjoy deep conversations, but I've let quite a few friendships go because I didn't care enough to really go deep with them. Most days I think I'm becoming more like everyone else - we're all a bunch of shallow assholes!

5. I hate work.
- OK, that's not a secret. But, really. When I take 3+ days off from working - actual job stuff - I feel alive. Unfortunately, just living doesn't pay the bills. I do enjoy my line of work, but I'm not sure if I've found that magical job - you know, waking up and hardly being able to wait 'til you go to work?

So, people to tag:

1. The Winters (yes, both!)
2. Jenn (my partner in crime)
3. M (the anonymous commentor - now you need to start a blog!)
4. Noah (don't be a stick in the mud, just do it!)
5. Emily (what's life overseas like, really?)

6. Canopians (I know, I'm only supposed to do 5, but here's something to stretch you)

Restlessness

I think it's good to be restless - at least a bit. It means that you're not content with where you're at. You're not stuck in a rut, unaware that life is happening around you.

I see life happening around me - in fact, in a lot of areas of my life, I'm making life happen. It's quite exciting. But... There's a place that I've called home for a while that has gotten stuck in a rut. It used to be a place that was cutting edge - we were a group of friends treading into the unknown, willing to risk. Well, it's not like that anymore - at least I don't see it. I know there's a time coming where the very foundations of this house that I'm referring to will be shaken - I think people will be quite surprised at how it all comes around. There's always a price to pay for complacency. I know...

So, restlessness. It's good. I think all of our feelings/emotions have an important roll in our lives - we just have to learn to listen to them, yet keep them in line. We can't let them control us; but, they can't/shouldn't be ignored, either.

I want to write more, but the words just aren't coming. I'm a bit distracted, too, so that's not helping. More to come, I'm sure!

Cheers!

Cure for Road Rage

You know, there are a lot of whacko's out there. Some people get upset at the littlest things, and completely lose it! How many times have you hear or read in the news about some idiot ramming his car into someone else b/c they cut him off, or something... or even worse, pulling a gun on them?

Thankfully, some of our domestic automakers are trying to improve our streets by implimenting some special options on newer models that will help limit the incidences of road rage in our country.

    Life's Changes

    So, late last week, my wife decided to start a blog about our family, since we'll be 1 more in about 6 months. Life just keeps us on our toes, doesn't it?!

    So, if you feel so inclined, visit Life In Millerville - it's linked in the "Blogs" feature.
