bad

Sheesh! Why is it still so hard to write in this blog on a daily basis? I had even put a shortcut to this page so I can just keep doing entries everyday, whenever the mood hits. It could be that I'm too busy living and experiencing to stop and document things. Not that I have much of a life beyond sitting in front of the computer all day long and writing other things and socializing in the gaming community I frequent.

Living in the suburbs very, very far away from the city has its toll. When I lived in Chicago I was constantly doing things - going to cafe, working, enjoying a Friday martini at a favourite watering hole, seeing friends, or merely just soaking in the sheer urban beauty, the buzz of city-ness. I am a city boy through and through. Perhaps I'm simply in hibernation once more. I dunno. Even when I was in the city I tended to do many things alone. I love being an 'island' in an ocean of other people while still being able to watch them, observe, catch the morning sun reflecting off the cool glass of skyscrapers, discerning a handsome fellow in the subway, listening to the violin concerto being played on the train platform by an old Chinese guy. Even in a crowded bar on a Friday night, it was just me and my martini. I adore being alone that way.
