2010, Adieu.

It's been a comically long time since I posted anything, but it's the end of another year, so here I am. Leaving my thoughts to the internet, sending them into the nether reaches of cyberspace. I'm not even sure what I want to say. Maybe that's why I post so rarely.

2010 was pretty good to me. Nothing big initiated, but a lot of things continued and developed beautifully. It's been a year of trade-offs and give-and-take. I'm working a job I don't necessarily like, but it provides me opportunities I couldn't otherwise attain, and it's not hard or too time-consuming. I'm in a place I love surrounded by people who love me, but I miss a lot of friends who are far away. My social life leaves a lot to be desired, but then again I've always been sort of a semi-recluse. But I have an awesome dog and an amazing, beautiful girlfriend. Lots of family around and I live in Beer City USA. That can't hurt, right?

I took some fun trips with Megan this year. We camped in the snow at the beach, rafted in whitewater and were assaulted by manatees. We laid in the sun and splashed in the surf, spent some great times with family and friends, though those times always ended too soon. We ate some great food.

Subject change.
I've always had a restless spirit. I don't like to stay in the same place for too long. I tend to like variety and change and newness. My time in Black Mountain has been changing me, though. Megan has been changing me, planting my feet a little, so to speak. I'm happy here, though as I mentioned earlier I'm not really enjoying my job that much. I do like working in the restaurant industry, but it's just this particular incarnation that I don't like, I guess. Or maybe it's the B&B side of it I don't like. Possibly I would be happier if I didn't live on site. Whatever the reason, I'm not really certain what, I'd rather be doing something else. I've recently developed an interest in being a butcher. I'm gonna explore this a bit more, I don't think anyone I've told is nearly as excited about it as I am, but I think it could be something I would really get into. We'll see, I'm not even sure of how to go about it.

This entry ended up different than I intended when it started, but that's the way a lot of my life goes.


Goodbye, 2010. I'm leaving you very happy, all things considered. Spiritually I'm developing new thoughts and ideas that I'm quite excited about, and things are advancing wonderfully with Megan. What else do you suppose I could need?
