In with a blizzard and blizzard jr, and out with a teasing of Spring. February I will miss you. But I'm more than glad your time is up.
There have been things that I've wanted to write and words that needed spoken yet the flow has been but a trickle. Well I think that the flood gates are about to be broken.
It's still true that I lack that driving force in my life to push me over the edge into stardom. But that's because it's in me and I can't rely on others to make it happen. But (again) I can rely on others to provide inspiration, because they do every day. It's almost been a year since I started this blog. My original goal has been for this to be an honest representation of a guy who entered the second third of his life and was developing his planetary orbit. Parts of my goal have been accomplished while there's quite a bit of it that has yet to be fulfilled. But hey the great thing about a second third of life is that it lasts a long long time.
I have the world to conquer and a space ship that's fueled and ready to go.
So what has February done for me that has made my life better? It's proven to me how disorganized I really am. I thought, at first, that I was just lazy. True as that statement is it leaves out a very important second half. I'm lazy and disorganized. Mind yourself, I still loves who I am. I just realized that improving yourself is a lifelong engagement. So, as I tell my friend Geoff in his quest to improve his kill streaks from 2 to 3 in Call of Duty: Black Ops, "baby steps".
February taught me to improve my skills at Black Ops. 'Killin' as me and my brothers call it. We sometimes meet up online to end the dreams of the poor lost soldier who runs across our sights. We've actually gotten pretty good at it, years of practice...years and years of practice. It's like hanging out with my brothers even though we're miles away (shout out to the geniuses who spawned the Internet and to those who shape its way).
February grew my relationship. It taught boundaries, showed areas of improvement, provided opportunities for improvement, and unveiled a best friend who I can't wait to spend eternity with. Yeah, February might have laid the kinder of creativity in me. Mayhaps turning 31 will be the spark?
February also improved my skills in the work environment. With a looming possible job promotion on a 40% hopeful scale, I feel that my work skills have improved and now feel earning of the appreciation for what I do. If I had to define what I do now...I'd be the go to guy for excel projects. Now I'm the IT contact for my department, and very soon I'll be doing Capital Assets for the City. In addition, my current project is to work with citizens in reclaiming their unclaimed monies from the City. No...none of you are on the list. :D
In conclusion (lol), I disliked the sedentariness...yes it's a word...of February,but I'm looking forward to the changes that are coming. Less than two weeks until the ball drops on another year for me....and I am truly looking forward to it.
