YouTube

I got a video camera for my bday... so I've started a YouTube channel. There will probably be lots of videos of Oscar and little cousins and such... but heck. Why not?

Watch my videos!

Tired

I'm tired of being tired.
I'm tired of going out and drinking.
I'm tired of sitting at my house by myeslf.
I'm tired of thinking about where my life is going.
I'm tired of waiting for "that someone" to come along.
I'm tired of missing people.
I'm tired of bad boys.
I'm tired of doing laundry.
I'm tired of waiting for the lake water to warm up.
I'm tired of sleeping in until 1pm because I have nothing better to do on the weekend.
I'm tired of burning bridges.
I'm tired of being alone...

I wish I had the energy to change things.

Three Day Weekend

My-O-My... it is so beautiful outside. I hope the rain stays away- but I have a feeling it won't.

I wish I had some super exciting plans for the weekend, like going on a trip, seeing Joel McHale, camping, anything would be nice. Of course there is the lake on Monday- but other than that... there's not much going on. Maybe I should look around and find something exciting to do... but where would I look? Who would I do it with?

Garage Sales sound like a good idea.

Hum-di-dum

Today has seemed like a Friday all day... too bad it's only Wednesday.

Fridays.

Who doesn't love Friday? I do... but I also have a love/hate relationship with Fridays.

Two days off of work is good. Free time is good. Sleeping in is REALLY good. Weekends in general are good; however, lately weekends can be somewhat lonely. There was a time when I went out all the time, had lots of people to see, lots of things to do, and lots of drinks to drink. Last fall that all changed. I didn't want to go out all the time, didn't want to waste my money at the bar, and didn't want to be reminded of the crazy drunken things I had done the night before... so I stopped going out.

It's been good for me in the sense that I am no longer a nightly partier, my wallet is thicker, and my Saturdays and Sundays aren't wasted in a hungover stupor... but... I miss having lots of people around. I used to be the center of the action, everyone knew my name, and I was never bored on the weekend. I learned quickly that the people I considered my "friends" were actually more like drinking buddies, and once I quit drinking all the time- they pretty much disappeared.

Nowadays I spend most of the weekend doing things around the house, hanging out with my dog, and missing my "friends". Not that I don't have friends here in Des Moines, I do. I have a small group of people that I call from time to time- but I don't have any constant companions... which makes for a long lonely weekend.

I am now officially a blogger... what does this mean?

Does this mean I'm going to spill my heart out everyday for random people to read? ...probably not.

Does this mean I'm going to use this forum to stand on a soapbox and preach on things I believe? ...probably not.

What it means is I have found another way to utilize the internets for my needs. I don't have a theme as of yet- and will probably try to think of one- but for now... it just is.

Like a lot of people- I have a lot of things on my mind that I rarely vocalize. I do like to write every once in awhile- so I think this might be a good outlet for me to vent my ideas and contemplate things. I sometimes feel that I "think" better while I'm writing it down... does that make any sense?
