slump

i'm in a slump, let's face it. the past week and a half has been relatively easy. some good news, some prospects for the future, and an unrelenting desire to rise shining from the muck may have left me without much to say. or, on the other hand, these coincident circumstances have left me gushing a bit much, loving self a bit too much for real reflection. did it rain yesterday? are the socks in the laundry ever going to come out to an even number? lots of questions are out there, and some have even been asked. what happened to our toaster that suddenly made it decide to work? am i dreaming, or did i for the first time since leaving school find the apartment toaster functioning in a relatively normal fashion? why did i come home to abundant light, when mere days ago, even the kitchen was doomed to greyish haze by faulty bulbs? yes, despite a general lack of affirmatory evidence, i have roommates. while i am sure they had plenty to do with the increased on-demand electomagnetic radiation, i have no explanation for the toaster. i feel sure it will let me down next time.

Go West, young man...haven't you been told, California's full of women, whisky and gold? And Salt Lake is full of me...that's enough for anyone to need a reason;]

There are times one wonders - am I just unhappy for a period of time, or is it because of actual things that are going on? Perhaps moving somewhere would be no better; perhaps I am not as good at being myself as I once was. Then again, Salt Lake...sounds like a good idea much of the time.

I'm just into lyrics or something these days. They're just so chock full of wisdom.

In all seriousness, you just gotta sit down and write out what it is you really want, and what it is possible to attain given the circumstances you are in and then make some goals and go from there. People seem happier and feel more of a purpose when they have something to work toward.

Most folks who blog are in a slump. You'll know you're out of it when you no longer have the time or desire to blog. That's my theory anyhow. Happy toasting.
