Cause I Thought I Should

So I have no frakkin' clue as to what I should write today. In the blog. I know what I should be writing elsewhere. I should be working on my spec show I work on with Keaton and my stage play I'm working on with J.Vlo and another project I'm trying to juggle with Zubov. And I will. Right now though, it feels like I should be blogging.

Been absent from the blogosphere for a couple of weeks. Much has happened since that last post about the universe's ironic sense of humor. I have to admit that the universe is also pretty kick-ass. Yeah, there's been good developments since the last post; and hopefully I'm knocking on enough wood right now not to jinx everything. Actually, I won't get into too many details, but I will let you all know that the "vacation" that began in June is now over.

And that's a wonderful thing.

After a brief stint "assisting" with the editing of grade school math books, I was offered a full-time position with another organization that I had been waiting to hear back from. So my life in text-book publishing fizzled out as quickly as I could make it do so and last week I began a life in communications and marketing.

And thus far, the decision has worked out for the best. Yes, it's only been a week and several months ago I sincerely questioned whether the Monday to Friday, eight to five world was really for me -- but this one seems like a great fit. I'm using actual skill sets that I went to college to learn. I'm getting the chance to be creative. Me and this organization's website are going to become quite good friends. And the people are absolutely wonderful.

It's like getting a Christmas present early, you know? Sure, it's not the writer's life -- being published and produced -- but I know that's somewhere down the road and I'm going to keep on until I get there. In the meantime, I've found somewhere in the "corporate" world that I like and that won't be sucking my soul out through my feet (with twisty straws).

And speaking of Christmas -- when did it get to be only a week away?! It was sixty here today -- sixty! In December. For those of you who do not frequent the mid-west of the United States a week away from December 25th, let me assure you that sixty is not normal. It is actually quite disturbing, the way quiet blond-haired, blue-eyed children standing in corn fields are disturbing.

But the spoiling weather has been great and I'm sure come January, the snow will fall. And I will long for the sixty-degree days of winter, no matter how disquieting they can be.

Time to bolt. With the new day gig, sleep is becoming a hot commodity and I'm burning moonlight here. And may I add that my dreams are getting weirder by the day! I'll blog about some doozies soon (ranging from terror to absurd surrealism). Just wanted to update you all and let you know that the upswing seems to be happening and that I'll be getting back into a regular blogging routine again soon and I'll be adding some new blogs to my links. The usual.

And I really feel the need to discuss the dichotomy of good and evil in humanity, but for now, that topic shall remain only thoughts in my head.
