I've been feeling particular of late. Particularly reclusive. Spending six hours in the library, listening to music and not talking to anybody really feels great these days.
Christmas and New Years came and went without a bang. Got to spend lots of time with Rü and Bink, always a good thing. I think it probably started me on this habitual hobbiting I've been doing.
I don't like where my head's been for the last year or so. I've spending too much time obsessing with what could have been, what I should have done, what I did ten (or fifteen!) years ago. That living in the past hasn't been healthy. Its also why I haven't been blogging. Meditation and yoga have helped a lot, I'm looking at the future and the possibilities. Hopefully I'll be able to finally let go of the past.
See, the strange thing is, I don't even know why I've been so obsessed with reviewing my own personal history. There isn't anything specific that has been at the forefront. Random moments from way back have been popping into my head, swimming around for a little while, and then popping out. Very strange.
Anyway, things are much better. The ISE stuff is moving along rather smoothly. I've developed a bit of a plan for completion, although I don't know what the timeline will be like. ISE work has to be intermingled with the homework (which is really starting to pick up) and life (to which I plan to return).
So, who wants to party?

Hmm... what you are describing is striking a few chords with me, but in some ways the variables are opposites.
I have become so obsessed with my future, lately. All I can do is predict, predict, predict... I feel like a fish that is fighting its way up-stream in vain. I just have to realize that there are greater forces at work, there are people in the present who need me, and my inability to live in the present will leave me stupefied when I am an old man who can't remember where he put his life.
Ha! There I go again, worrying about what will happen when I am an old man!
I think I'll take you up on that party invitation. I have somehow convinced myself that hedonistic fun is a shortcoming of my former self... in some ways it was... but in other ways it is so ingrained in my nature and crucial to enjoying the NOW.
This post is long and blabbering; I apologize.
