still here?

Wow, this blog is still here? I'm amazed it hasn't been shut down due to inactivity. I guess like so many other things in my life I really like the idea of doing it, but I can't seem to get my shit together to actually make it happen. I'm the kind of guy with incredible potential, but not a whole lot more. That's not me being down on myself, that's a calmly spoken truth. Besides, when I reflect upon the entries I've posted, both here and at my old blog, I see that I have complained about things much more so than having said anything interesting, funny, or constructive.

It's funny to me really. Sometimes, like just yesterday driving home from work, I'll look out across the land and just know it, just feel like I can be so much more than I am. But I don't know what to do with that, or how to make it happen. I'm not sure whether I let myself get bogged down by the little details in life, or if I'm just lazy, or if I'm too uptight. Or maybe none of it matters and I should simply smile more often. The scary part now is that as a father, I want to provide the very best for my son, and I think an important part of that is setting a good example of how to be happy and sane. Hopefully I can set that example!

I don't know. Anyway, happy (almost) Independence Day everyone. Go have fun with fireworks without burning anything down.
