Sometimes I get so caught up in everything life has to offer that I forget to sit down and write a little something about it. Regrettably, it's the good times that usually get neglected in this particular forum. That's not to say I don't still take the time to reflect. Just that I neglect to reflect publicly. So for those of you, my readers, who have missed hearing from me for the past several weeks, I offer my humblest of apologies!
Over the course of the past few months, I have caught myself wondering time and time again whether or not there might be an upper limit to the amount of joy and excitement any one human being is allowed to experience before things go sour or mellow off. And to date, the only conclusion I've been able to reach is this: perhaps it simply isn't healthy to ponder such preposterous perplexities.
I have recently been blessed with an unfathomably favorable work situation, my classes at Tusculum couldn't be going better, I've remained in comfortable financial standing for over a year since I set out on my own, and my band is about to make a considerable splash on the local scene after what seems like an eternity of inactivity. I'm about to celebrate my 29th year alive on this earth, and I am overflowing!
All things considered, if you were to ask me to pin down the single, most significant source of this ostensibly salient sprightliness, all signs would invariably point to a girl. The feeling I get when I'm with this girl. When I see her face. Hear that infectious laugh of hers. Even just thinking about her in those far too frequent moments when the two of us are off doing whatever it is we do while we're apart...
If I may borrow from the immortal words of former pop sensation, Ashlee Simpson:
this girl absolutely makes me wanna LA LA!
(And I mean that, of course, in a completely non-sexual way! *wink*)
I could go on, but at this point I'm just gushing. I hope you've enjoyed reading as much as I've enjoyed writing. I know I say this all the time, but for all intents and purposes I will try my utmost to keep these coming on at least a slightly more regular basis than in weeks past. Until next time, stay your minds to thoughts of what could go wrong and when it might happen. Instead, focus on squeezing every last ounce of happiness, fulfillment, joy, and excitement out of each and every passing moment!
