Two Months

So I took a two month blogging break. Shoot me.

After becoming unemployed, I decided to take a break from everything. Anything I felt was an obligation, I unplugged from it. I took the severance pay and took time to myself to purge the fixation. Simple as that.

I also did not blog. Why, you ask? The short answer was that for those two months pretty much nothing was going on. I sat around here and did nothing. I tried to work on my book but it jammed on me, no idea why. Pretty much I sat around and played video games for almost two months.

You might find that idea somewhat repulsive. Self-indulgence to the highest degree. You know what? I don't care. I needed it. I needed a nice, long break from the grind. Now that I've had it I can go back.

At first I thought I'd try something different. I contracted myself and my truck into a nightly delivery route of medication to nursing homes around Indiana. The work was enjoyable, though a bit on the humdrum side. It turned out that it wasn't for me, though; not only did the company take every chance it could to screw me out of money, I also hit a deer and destroyed my truck. I'd only been at the job for two weeks and I'd already obliterated my vehicle. The signs, as the eight ball say, pointed to no. So I quit that and am now returning to my office, which coincidentally developed an opening for me.

I feel that--and correct me if I'm wrong here--that my unplugging from everything may have accidentally disconnected me from my relationship with my friends as well. That I would also like to remedy, if you guys are still reading. Here's hoping you are.

Anyway, I will write more tomorrow. Time to start hooking back in to life.

Everybody else was doin' it...

I just wanted to feel popular.
