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.

Write Brain...

I know. I'm all over the place, indecisive, spastic, indecisive... curious, indecisive, quirky, scattered.... yea, I know. Ever since I left "Chaos in Translation" in blog history - I haven't settled in a new name for my unscriptd blog.  I enjoy the notion of write brain... because I write... and as a lefty, I apparently think with the right side of my brain.  Maybe I should call it scatter brain... Write Brain. This one might be a keeper, but don't be surprised if I wake up tomorrow feeling not so sure again.  At this rate, I will never get anything done.... why is it so hard to make a decision? So - a recap of the last three weeks...
  • I rescued a puppy.  His name is Cooper. So now Alex has a brother.  He was not a fan of the little rat looking creature scattering around the house for the first 3-4 days.  But now they are BFFs.  Whew.
  • I started my business website... and my business cards.  And... decided to create a store in Etsy... more to come on that one.
  • I had to kick my tenant out of the townhouse I was renting out.  Too many months of super late rent started to make me itch.  Seriously...  she had a few choice words for me, but in a Zoloft free mindset, I opted to take the high road - and not call my "people."
  • I thought it was a good idea to take a stab at giving Alex a hair cut.  We are in a recession, and I was not feelin' the whole swiping of debit cards for $60 that I could very easily save.  Well -- perhaps I should have gone on and swiped.  Good think Alex's hair grows back fast, and his love is unconditional.
  • I realized that I have some long eye lashes.   I went to the beauty counter at the mall the other day, and she convinced me to try mascara.  I explained to her that I always rub my eyes (it's relaxing) and while the notion of this eye stuff was great and all - I rather not look like I have a black eye.  Well she tried, I liked a little, but I was excited about the length of my lashes... I never knew.

Still.

<br />

I was looking through some photos I took with my new camera - and realizing that I have yet to put any of my latest photography on display - thought this was a good place to start... after all - it reflects how i'm feeling at the moment... randomly placed, slightly scattered, almost there - but not, a bit solemn... and finally, still.  Everything right now is... still.
