Its been a while...

Its been a while since I took the time to write something here... obviously, eh? Wow, eight months! I'd love to be as disciplined as those who find the time to write every day, but the real trouble is that the living of my life tends to get in the way of some of the things that I want to accomplish. The 'discipline' part of it means that this activity needs to become an integral part of the living, and not just an add on. Those of you who manage a blog every day will understand what I mean by that... you set a certain amount of time aside each day to bang away at your keyboards (and probably at a regular time). Some of you are more than just amateur blogger/journalists; its your job and you approach it as such. Dedicated hobbyists do the same thing... you work at it. And then there are those like me who can't quite decide if the time is better spent here or with family, friends, or just lounging around.

Now to be entirely fair, the last few months have been very busy for me, which is probably more of a reason that I should have taken the time to write, but... as I alluded to in the previous section, life tends to get in the way of living it.

So, since I last wrote I have taken two university level drawing classes, one university level Business and Systems Design class (I needed the refresher 'cause I've developed way too many bad habits), attended a week long conference in Vegas, flew out to the coast and got my Day Skipper/Basic Cruising designation, and changed jobs, attended a week long conference-cum-orientation-cum-indoctrination for the new job! I'd say that most of my free time had been pretty much spoken for, wouldn't you?
