Wait – I have a life?

When the hell did this happen?!?


I think I’ve realized why I’m not blogging as much (by “as much” I mean “obsessively”) as I used to.

Somehow, without realizing it, I’ve gone and gotten a life.

Well, what else could it be? I’m still lazy, but now I do more. I still spend a lot of time at home, but I spend almost none of that time fretting over what I’m going to write about for that day’s entry.

Actually, that’s a thought I rarely have these days.

I have enough stuff to fill my day – work, friends, shopping, cooking, sex, movies – that the blog has dropped a few rungs on the ladder of “what’s important to me.” Okay, I know there are a few people who check it to see what sort of stuff I’m babbling about each day – and maybe they’re disappointed in the recent reduction in content.

Sorry.

I realize that can get people to stop reading a site, and while I hope that doesn’t happen here, I’m not going to obsess over it. I like seeing comments on stuff that I’ve written, but more often than not my posts don’t get any. That’s cool – it’s not like commenting is a requirement. I don’t comment on a lot of stuff I read on other people’s blogs, so I can hardly bag on anybody for not commenting on mine.

I think the big thing is that I’m not in Korea anymore.

During the week, I had no life in Korea. It was all work or sitting on my ass or going for motorcycle rides. More existing than living, really. Things are a lot different in Tokyo. So much of everything here is new to me, and I’m really grooving on that. There’s so much to see and do that it’s fun to just go out and explore. A lot of times when I come home from going out wandering (or wherever), I’ll think, “hey, maybe I should blog that.”

But I rarely do.

I think I’m getting greedy. I want my time at home to be all about me. Instead of coming home and plopping down at the keyboard to write I just want to relax and unwind. Maybe toss in a movie, or the latest episode of Lost or 24. I’ll geek around online some, sure, but not nearly as much as I used to. I don’t post much on online forums as I used to. I’ve got a few webcomics I like to read, and Slashdot’s good for a bit of info and stuff, and I’ve got to see what new downloads are available. Maybe I’ll chat with a friend or something. Maybe I just don’t get as much out of the writing as I used to?

Or maybe it’s the sex?

I’d be a fool to think that has nothing to do with the state my head’s in these days. I’ve had more sex in the last four months than I did in the preceding two and a half years. Lots more. And let’s face it, when you’re getting laid well – and regularly – some other things tend to fall by the wayside. I mean, if I meet up with a girlfriend right after work, and we go out to dinner, then back to my place, I’m not going to take a break somewhere in that evening and say, “hey, can you hold on for a minute? I need to blog.”

I do want to keep getting the sex, you understand.

So, I’ll still be blogging (and I’ll try to have posts with more of a point than this one) and posting pics and stuff, just not each and every day.

It’s taken a while to get one, but now that I have a life I want to enjoy every single bit of it. ^.^
