Brimming with vitality
OK, after experiencing a bit of blog inferiority complex ™ after reading the blogs of ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
ikioi, weiskind, and Jamie Sue, I want to post a more touchy-feely post containing no chronological narrative. So I just wanted to post that I feel at this instant a new plateau. I am full of vitality these days and feel like my overall skills at being me are at their highest level ever. I’m working well and hard on multiple interesting and important projects at work. I’m rock climbing enough to make some improvement. I’m finding extra Cannonball Adderley transcriptions to practice online. I haven’t been sleeping properly this week, but I still feel a strong clarity and can still multitask at high RPMs. I’m getting good at complex decisions and I think when I do settle on a city and a house to buy, I’ll be confident and happy with my choice. I am talking to strangers (and often trusting them with my life moments later while they belay me). I have ended my gosh-maybe-the-iPhone-is-the-thing-to-make-me-buy-another-Apple-product phase and decided to stick with my beloved Palm OS and get a Centro. I’m currently inspired by Derek Sivers of http://www.cdbaby.com and folks like Craig Newmark and NiN. The power of the Internet is awe inspiring.
Ack….type-A personality takes over….ack….stop that…. tomorrow I’m flying to HP headquarters in Cupertino and back to Boise on Friday night….stop….no….chronological narrative….ack…met another HP employee who is a printer firmware engineer and plays violin in the Boise Philharmonic….ack…bad type-A personality…bad…
Personally, I really enjoy your blog. I was reading it the other day and feeling a bit jealous of all the cool traveling and seeing of new places that you are doing. Chronological, emotional, or otherwise, I’m glad you got into this blogging thing. It’s cool to hear what’s up with you lately even when I don’t have time to call.
BTW, congrats on your apparently improved being-you skills!
This is a wonderful blog. More importantly, it’s good to be good at being yourself. Your all too touchy-feely sister thinks that everyone comes into being him or herself at a different time. It is such a nice feeling when it happens, and I am so glad you have that feeling. From the outside, I think you are coming into the age you have always been internally — old enough to handle complex matters and responsibilities with ease and young enough to smile ear to ear at the free reign you have to eat as many oreos as you want because you’re a big boy, damn it.
I also love your lj. Especially your storytelling about travel.
However, I like this post too, because it’s really great to hear how you’re doing.
Really great. I wish I could spring for a ticket to come visit you.
what?
So as soon as I set you up in my rss feed, you stop posting, what’s up with that? Where’d you go?
Re: what?
Heh. I’m in Boise, Idaho and I’ve been here a while. Not much no to report. I’ve been working a lot. Friday night Boise Philharmonic is playing Pictures at an Exhibition and The Firebird. I head off Saturday to Bend, Oregon.
