PURPOSE? NO - PURPOSES!

It's been a long time since I've done this. I really did have some good times when I was blogging daily - but it didn't stick. I don't know what it is...I get really interested and excited about things and that lasts about five minutes. Everyday is a new and exciting adventure. A new obsession. Right now it's the band I'm in. Next week it might be synchronized swimming. Last week I think it was comic books. My interests change so often. It's a fact that I'm flighty, to say the least.

Well, son of a bitch. What am I supposed to do about this? I was talking with a friend the other day about this widespread problem I'm having about widespread interests and the sprawl - even glut - that come with it. I can't keep up with myself...

I think that's alright. If I can accomplish half of it I'll be remembered fondly by half-wits and kooks, anyhow. A leader in the field of nonsense.

And that's what we were talking about. How to fix this. How to focus. If I could gain clarity, mission, a purpose - a SINGULAR purpose then I could be great, maybe. Maybe not - but I'd feel more USEFUL? perhaps? Or that I was trying harder. I was in service to a greater good. Following my heart. Asking, "May I have your attention, please?"

Blah. Blah. Blah.

The rollercoaster of thoughts, ideas, and wild-schemes isn't ALL bad, however. I think two things can be said:

1) It IS important to try new things. Shake it up.

2) It IS possible to have a determined mind. It IS possible to fall in love fully. To be driven.

So, what logically falls in line when thinking all of this? What follows one and two? What's next?

Trying a thousand things makes shit interesting. Like mix-tapes and variety shows. I love that. I love taking anything but the direct route across town. Longer? Maybe. More things to see? Definitely.

So, what if in the process of loving a million things...I fall in love with one. And not just a stumble. A headlong dive-on-in - that would be alright.

Maybe I have a secret talent and it's called "water aerobics."

That would be O.K.

In the meantime though - and I mean this more than ever - I'll enjoy everything. Suck the marrow out of life and all that. There IS so much to see and do and be. I may very well be fulfilling my purpose right now.

Job Description: Jack-of-All-Trades

You know?

I really liked "Son in Law" with Pauly Shore. Hell - I really like Pauly Shore - screw you. And in the movie, Pauly would do wild things. Dance a two-step and say, "Couples Dancing - two semesters." Skin a cat and say, "Taxidermy - one semester." Beat the jerk-off ex-boyfriend of his love interest's ass and say, "Judo - three semesters."

You get it.

Maybe that's me. Trains and bikes and thumbs have taken me far. Concerts, oceans, vegans, and carnivores. Part time: painter, writer, blogger, health nut, dirtbag, and learner. Loving life. A little bit country. A little bit rock-n-roll.

Hell yes! So there's that. Glad to blog again.
