Don’t even get me started on my personal blog. *ugh* It has almost been ONE WHOLE YEAR!!!

            So, initially, this was just going to be a short introduction to the other blog I was writing (another taxi-cab rant) when I realized I hadn’t written a blog entry in about… uh, I’m actually not sure when my last blog was. Several deadlines ago. Then, I realized that there multiple re-cuses (when a reason and an excuse become one) as to why I have not been blogging.

            I will admit that I may not be able to supply bloggage on a weekly basis due to some new life circumstances. So, until then, you will just have to be satisfied with this simplistic post of truth, honesty, and humorous self-reflection. Full disclosure:

1.     I started driving cars and I’m trying to get back into writing my fictional, short-story works—DAMMIT, no, I can’t start this blog off with a lie… let me begin with the WHOLE truth…

1.     The real 1.: I apparently enjoy my Sunday Fundays in San Francisco (SFSF?!) too much. I admit it. Bottomless mimosas in San Francisco, time in Dolores Park thereafter enjoying a pleasant bottle of beer with some delicious snacks, and then gorging on dinner equals one thing: an early bedtime with minimal productivity. It’s not my fault, it’s society’s fault! And the mimosas! And the non-marijuana park treats!! (Seriously, pot-free. And delicious!)

2.     So, funemployment provided the perfect forum for blogging, tweeting, over-facebooking, job-hunting, career-dreaming, tv-watching, comic book reading, video gaming, regular reading, social interacting, beering, shot taking, swearing that I’m not an alcoholic…ing… Getting a job kinda took the fun right out of funemployment! (Don’t you dare glare or sigh at that last statement—THAT WAS PUNNY DAMMIT!!)

3.     Tacoma provided a good location for bus-blogging… that and the fact that I could actually bus around for free right when I became funemployment. I maaaay have kept my free bus pass after I got let go for a month in a half. (Not my fault work never asked for it back and didn’t shut it off until late June. #forthewin) Yeah, bussing around in SF/the Bay Area is kinda expensive and also sorta sketch sometimes.

4.     I actually only have a 5-10 minute bus commute to work now. My walk to my bus stop is actually longer than my bus ride. Sooooo I’m not on the bus as much anymore (no more 1 ½ hour commute to work from home)!

5.     It’s not that I ran out of ideas… because I have a blog idea for next week. BOOYA!!! It’s the week after that I may be screwed. I’ve also been distracting myself with other side projects, like Mathias' Jacket, my personal twitter, books, some writing (nothing big), mimosasing—so I have some writers block, in certain arenas.

6.     Some days I remember that I’m in a slightly sketchier part of town, wherein if I jot down notes of what people are saying I may accidentally be recording evidence in a trial of some sort… seriously… not trying to start trouble. The docile crazies of Tacoma are… y’know, too crazy to do anything.

7.     People are just sliiiiightly more aware of if you’re taking a picture of them on the bus here. Also, people beside you are more verbally protective of random strangers on the bus in San Francisco. TOTALLY makes photographing strange bus-goers wayharder.

8.     Some days DailyGracetakes over your freetime, your creative world, and your soul…

9.     Bonding with the new roomie and catching up with old friends!

10.  Some days I just get wrapped up in the new environment that I’m now in… not so much in the beauty-aspect of the city, just more in the “I really don’t want to get lost in my newish city and end up in the wrong part of town… or get off at the wrong stop… or miss the coffee shop or bar or restaurant I’m trying to find.” In short, I’m wrapped up in my own business.

BOOM!!! Truth! That sound right there… that was honesty. And honestly, at least one more blog is coming. And here’s a pledge: I will try to eavesdrop more, be more sneaky with my photographing, and find inspiration (not in the form of mimosas who hath no bottom) in something that will provide AWESOMELY FUNNY AND MOVING BLOGS.

Till next I blog. ~wanz
