Gosh...

Has it really been over a year since I started this blog. I'm sorry I haven't lived up to my own expectations in here. I'll try to do better in the future. Where does the time go!?!?... I have been recording various little beats in a voice recorder. I should upload them somewhere and put links to those uploads in here. I need to probably stop playing Entropia Universe and Diablo II as often as I do and focus my free time more on music, and art creation.

I still don't play that darn midi keyboard much. I need to start doing it more often. It sits there right next to my computer all hooked up collecting dust (although there's some issues getting sound out of Magix's midi studio due to something I've got messed up in the hardware setup, but after saving all is well and the midi sounds plays ok in other applications...)

Finding time to do creative stuff shouldn't be hard for me... but it is. I'm easily distracted and get on to one thought pattern type of things on occassion. Lately that has been focused on online gaming... before that it was free-to-air satellite and recording of movies off of fta satellite on to dvd that was constantly blowing my time online and giving me lots of thoughts throughout the day, etc. My hobbies just eat so much freaking time, and I'm so diverse that I have many hobbies... There just isn't enough time in the day to do stuff. Lately, I've been getting up at 3 AM to walk our dog, Genesis, til about 4 AM, at which time I get a shower and start getting ready for work...

That's a good thing to do since I've sort of let myself get out of shape... but sometimes in the past, excercise, just like some other hobbies, has eaten at my time and mental and physical resources... I remember in college I would start out doing like 1 mile walks, then 2, 3, on up, and before long I was out jogging or walking 2 to 3 times longer than I was when I first started and was blowing too much time doing that that should have been time spent doing classwork...

in college the same thing happened to me with role playing (I still have a whole library of books on World of Darkness games like Vampire, Werewolf, Wraith etc., and Palladiumbooks games like Heroes Unlimited, Ninjas and Superspies and other similar stuff.)... I've mentioned in some of my other blogs that I am a bit eccentric and think I may have some symptoms of ADD or
asperger's Syndrome...

I've never been diagnosed with either one, but then again, have never been tested, and rarely see my doctor... I think I've been to his office once a year the last 5 years, if that much, and that was just to get allergy prescriptions... Now that clariton aka Loratadine, is over the counter, I don't really even go see him for that. Maybe I should? I don't know... I didn't know that I needed glasses until after I graduated from college, and had gone through many painting, design, and drawing classes doing a lot of squinting til I got headaches, and just thought that that was normal... and did all of that while being color blind, so who knows, maybe I should see a doc. My wife says I also might want to look in to taking a sleep study test since I snore a bit... I'm not too keen on the idea, but may look in to it someday.
