The month of May, writing-wise, was very good. I posted eight times which was the highest number of posts since last December. We now sit half way through June and I have one post. Part of it is the fact that we were on vacation, but to counter that I had access to the internet the entire time. But who wants to spend time writing when on vacation? I did come up with a few topics to write about. And they are going to be awesome topics to write about. NSA wire tapping, Dan Snyder still being a douche, hunger strikes, vacations and drinking, there's lots on my mind. But there in lies the problem.
Could I be writing about one of those topics right now? Absolutely. Do I want to be writing about one of those topics right now? Mostly. Do I have the ambition to actually do some research, get some facts, and compose arguments? Hell no. I enjoy writing posts that make you think. Posts that make me think as I write them. This isn't even close to one of them. Every once in a while, I just don't have the ambition to write something thought provoking. I don't have a family so you won't find a 'kids update' type of post here. This post is like game 159 for the Tigers while they hold a comfortable ten game lead against a Chicago White Sox team that is playing just for pride. In essence, a throw away.
I got back from vacation Thursday. I came back by myself while my wife stayed home to help her mom as she recovers from a back surgery. Working through the weekend, I haven't really had a chance to sit around and do a whole lot. I finally went out yesterday and got some groceries because we practically emptied the fridge before leaving. So it is nice to have food options in the hose and not just mac and cheese (although I could eat that for a few weeks if need be [granted I would die afterwards]). I have plans to do some cooking and I even bought a steak for some MGT which I am really excited about. I have plenty of movies lined up for some days off or even for after work if I want. It's nice enough now that I am starting to look for a frisbee golf course close by. So I got some stuff to keep me occupied so I'm not just sitting around twiddling my thumbs.
So hopefully I will find some ambition hiding somewhere in the back of my mind to compose a few posts that I can be proud of writing. This isn't really one of those posts. This is just one of those posts that I write to try and get the writing flow going again.
