Post Holiday Treats

Yeah, that's all I need right now... more treats.

Feeling sufficiently uncomfortable in my skin due to overindulgence in food and booze (cut to cliche of resolving to lose weight in the new year). Truthfully, I can't resolve to do anything right now unless it's less than a week away. There's too much uncertainty swirling around in this little head of mine to commit to more than taking each day as it comes and trying to better myself with each passing hour.

And speaking of, I am going to blatantly plagiarize right now by copying a section from a true artist's blog - there's none that's said it better when it comes to the new year - "Another year is fast approaching. Go be that starving Artist you’re afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not put here to work and pay taxes. You were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at TGI
Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. Be the change you want to see in the world. You’ll thank yourself for it."

While this is a total non-sequiter, I've fallen in love with a new online web series called 'Quarterlife". Given it's namesake, you can pretty much deduct that it has to do with twenty-something year old people and the drama they go through - but the approach to the series is genius - and so is the online community they've built around it. Video blogging...amazing. Check it out:

Happy New Year to you and yours...bring on 2008!

Inspired... Again

In the scheme of life, we all tend to get caught up in the day to day droning that often takes us away from doing what fulfills us. Whether it's a sport, a hobby or some other form of interest, we lose touch with it when life takes hold and makes us focus on the task at hand.

That's what I realize has been happening with me. Throughout all of the trials and tribulations I have endured over the last year, I've never taken the time to sit down and express myself through the words that I so often formulate in my head. I've truly been inspired with a recent visit to another blogger's site and have decided that these words will no longer sit in my head without a real home - they will be given a place to live and thrive - here in this virtual world.

That said, I hope you enjoy and/or take something from the random thoughts that will find their way to this page - whether it's a feeling, a new recipe I love or something about a new musician I discover... I am enthused to start sharing the joys of my life again.
