master of none

I blame it on the overwhelming capacity at which I suck in information from all corners of the atmosphere.  Or, it could be all of the sugar I consume... whatever the case my lack of focus and scatter-brained tendencies have left me with being really good at a lot of things... but phenomenal at nothing.  Let us back up for a moment to allow me to preface this post:

This is not a self-deprecating moment in which I rant and rave about how the world is against me and everyone should feel sorry for lil 'ole me.  Not even a little bit.  So keep reading...

Being "phenomenal" is clearly relative to an individual's context as to what is good and bad.  Some would argue that my lasagna is "phenomenal" - and it's likely because they haven't tasted anything better.  However, I have tasted better, so I would rate my lasagna as "damn good... but still needs work".  I came to this series of thought because it's the end of the year... and at the end of every year (for the last few years at least) I begin to rethink the focus of my blog.  What I really want to do is be the authority on something... just one thing... but I'm having a hard time on figuring out what I know enough about. 

I would love to write about travel, but I don't do it nearly enough (nor can I afford to) - so my blog posts would be sparse at best.  I love to eat, so I thought about a food blog... but I don't need another reason to indulge myself further in the world of food... if anything, I need to indulge less. 

Herein lies my conclusion... I'm good at a lot of things... so I need to continue to write about just that... alot of things. Every last one of them... until the flame burns out.

gift. of. focus.

DateWednesday, April 8, 2009 at 12:46PM
Whenever something of halfway epic proportion happens in my life, it pushes me into a tailspin of revaluation, reprocessing... and re-focusing.  This particular halfway epic thing was my birthday.  Not a milestone birthday... not a "damn, I was suppose to have done this by this time" birthday... just a regular... birthday.  I have always taken the time to celebrate my life, on my birthday... even if I am the only one celebrating. This particular birthday backed me into a corner that screamed GROW UP.  I am always talking about how scattered and spastic I am... well it's because I allow myself to be that way.  I am always talking about how crazy I feel, and un-focussed... well..... Well... this year, I am giving myself the gift of focus.  I am going to make decisions that I have been putting off for years... I am going to do things in which I have been holding back. My first item of business... FOCUS my blog.  I have been debating on this particular move for almost a year now.  Alot of bloggers have a focus... photography... mommy stuff... art stuff... computer / technology stuff... finance stuff.  Not me... I just talk about whatever I want.  But it's a little over the top... even for me.  So... I would like to focus on Growing Up.  One of my categories is called "On Being Better" and I find myself writing about that more and more.  It's what consumes me... it's what I aspire to be... better.  I have so many lessons to share... and I think alot of women... and men, can relate to what it means to Grow Up. That's all I got for now... you will be the first to know how it all pan's out.
