Prisoner of Life, Missing In Activity

I almost feel like a teenager sneaking in the door after hours here. I almost feel like I need to be sent to my room and assigned to a 2 month punishment with no phone and mall privileges until I get my act together. I've been gone for so long everything seems different and it almost feels like all eyes are on me. I sometimes wish I could go back to those simpler times (the teenage years). Back to when you honestly believed the entire world had to be against your specifically and the most important things in your life were homework, friends, money and sex. It seemed like a lot to deal with back then but looking at it now it doesn't seem all too bad, but I digress.

I've been off doing life things (as expected) but for some reason not by me. There have been quite a number of adjustments I've had to make recently (and don't read this post as some extended apology to the masses of cyber strangers out there I just want to let those who happen to stumble across this blog know who I am and what is going on in my life) and those changes have taken me away from my precious 505. So what type of changes can make a man sacrifice what he loves for such a long period of time. Well here they are:

I have a new job which is actually two jobs.

I'm still working a my old job just a lot fewer hours then before.

I'm taking business classes every Tuesday and Thursday from 7pm to 9pm.

I've been designing web sites and business cards for various clients (for very little or no pay at this point) at least 3 a week because I need the promotion

I have to do 6am conference calls with my old job every morning just to see what extra work they need my help on

I still have to take care of my precious Destiney

I still have homework to do for the online school I attend sessions.edu
I still have a girlfriend to ~~deal with~~ love :)

I guest blog on Blogaboutyourblog.com and YBPguide.com for a bit more exposure

I still have to remain sane!

That is just a glimpse of what I have to do. There is still the standard household/car/relationship maintenance items to deal with as well. SO the purpose of this post is actually an appreciation of those that can balance life and blog so flawlessly that people come to depend on your insight and encouragement and begin to believe that you may actually live online somewhere. These bloggers are tireless and unscathed by the turbulence of the real world because they have come to love those that read and comment on their work as their extended internet family. One day! One day I will be just like you. One day I will be able to blog and not care how it looks or how many people don't comment on my posts. One day someone will notice me here and I will become infamous. One day.

I hope you all enjoy the three day weekend and also take a little of the time to reflect on why you get an extra day off to begin with. Martin Luther King [Wikipedia MLK] didn't do what he did for attention or fame. He did it because he felt that it was something that needed to be done. I hope I can make a difference on day.

One day.
