Okay, so the past few weeks I've been feeling restless.

Of course, restless is just a general sum up of feeling both bored and overwhelmed, feeling I haven't accomplished much of anything creative for about a couple of months now that is not game related, have not written or drawn for a while now, feeling fat and sedentary and I really need to get active, work is getting terribly uninteresting at times, more frustrating than anything else, feeling that I haven't speant enough time reading anything that I want to read, and just an overall feeling of "blah" that comes and goes.

I do have some goals to pull myself out of this. Many people have had a general sense of malaise since the events of the 11th, but truthfully my being a bit bummed with life was happening before everything was thrown into chaos. I get my first driving lesson in a long time from my friend Jason Bozarth this coming weekend, which I'm really excited about. I've got a big art project in mind, a set of charcoals drawn from the cover photos of Strange Little Girls (I tried acrylics of Tori before, I think charcoal will be the way to go this time. I still plan on joining some sort of martial arts class, which should help me overall.

But anyways, looking forward to Kareoke tonight with the boys. Still not entirely convinced that Erik isn't entirely "not jealous" of my friend Doug, who will be joining us this evening and doing Kareoke for the first time ever. Doug is already nervous about going up to sing.

And as a heads up, I'll have internet access at home soon, so will have more frequent entries to this thing. :)
