Feeling Reinvigorated

            Well another term has ended and surprisingly I am feeling reinvigorated. I’ve also gotten into Mario Kart 7 recently. That game is just a ton of fun. I’ve unlocked two cups and a car upgrade so far and looking to have more fun with it as I challenge myself more with it. As you probably have noticed I stopped doing the days of the week with this blog. It just makes it easier to post, though it means having to come up with more unique titles. I am ok with that and hopefully you like the new format.

            I am aiming to get back on the ball with some writing prompts now and write more often. They probably won’t be story ones. But, you never know when a short story will pop up on here. For those liking my Odyssey work don’t fret I am still there and doing work for them. I am also going to be looking for other freelance jobs though too, so you will have to keep an eye out for where my work will be appearing in the future.

            I am picking back up on my quitting smoking campaign as of today, with some new twists that I am keeping under my hat. Part of which is going to be keeping myself distracted more, so you might see more posts than when I was doing it on a regular basis, and some more reading to keep me distracted as well. Plus, computer and video games. Then when term starts back up I am going to try and drown myself in studies a bit as well. On top of all that I am going to be working on my religious studies a bit more diligently as best as I can. Not saying everything is going to go perfect, but I am going to give it my best shot.

            I am also going to try focusing more on my writing as well. Might try to get ahead on my Odyssey articles. Will have to wait and see how that goes. Lately it seems like I do better being nocturnal. Now if only my providers worked with me being that way as well as a few other services I need to survive. Don’t worry not going back into that rant again I think I made my point last time. I am just going to have to limp through the day when I have to be part of it and be nocturnal the rest if the time it seems. Not sure how that is going to work out. Though I know I will find a balance in the end.

            I have a stack of digital books and magazine a mile high to read and I know I can read them all I just have to put my mind to them. Probably going to mean reading a few chapters in a book a day and a magazine a day for a while, but I will get caught up eventually. I never mean to get behind I just somehow always end up that way, and then I go on a reading marathon to catch up. Though enjoyable I would prefer reading steady in general instead of fast and slow with reading.

            And yes, I know I have done some stupid things in my life and still am not quite there yet. But, the difference is that now I am trying.   And, people will ask why the change. Well first God smacked me upside the head. Then I met a wonderful woman named Moriah who is part of my life. And, then the landlord came down hard on me. The first two were enough to get me going in the right direction. The third is just speeding things up a bit. I don’t mind moving, but I would rather not have to. So, I am going to do my best to get things squared away with the landlord.

            But, I have rambled on enough for one day. Feel free to leave questions and comments below. As for me I think I might do some reading or more writing not sure which yet. Actually before that I am going to play some more Mario Kart 7. *Tips his hat and walks out the door*.

Grocery Shopping Has Gotten More Fun Recently

            I just got home from grocery shopping and I’m in a great mood and felt like writing while I relax for a bit.  It was more fun than I am used to having grocery shopping, and Moriah has me inspired once more to invest in the house. Alright it is an apartment but it is my home so I call it a house. I’m starting to have ideas once more for decorating and improving the place. It feels good to have these ideas once more. I’m also beginning to feel inspired to be a leader once more. To take chances and be willing to fail.

            Part of it is I lost myself in following God that I forgot he also expects us to be leaders as well. My faith keeps evolving and changing, but so do I as a person. It can be easy to get lost in what you are pursuing at times. And, then that energy hits you and you feel like you could go out and conquer the world. If only you had a military to do it with. But you can still put that energy to good use. Spruce up the house a bit. Do some writing or studying or both.

            This term I have been studying the English Language and it is fairly review work. But, it has allowed me to get in deep with it again. It has been fun so far and since I have been allowed to explore two speeches I find inspiring it has allowed me to find more in them than before. It also brings back memories of sitting in the cafeteria of high school on a Wednesday morning early on a late start day talking about writing with my best friend, Theanna, as we waited to use the library computer.

            Turns out a lot of my friends from the old days have become night owls like me. In the old old days, we would be accused of being some sort of Vampire Cult or something like that. And, companies know there is a market for the night owls yet they refuse to have anything open when we are awake. After all it would be nice to have some regular restaurants open late at night and not just turned into bars. Don’t get me wrong dinners are nice, but it would be nice for a change once in a while.

            And, have you ever wanted to do grocery shopping or had the munchies at 4 am in the morning. Forget being able to do much good about that. All you have in most cases are 24-hour convenience stores to go to do anything about any of that. There are a whole group of people who work at night that if they could would run their lives at night as well instead of having to change sleeping patterns all the time.

            I mean sure you still have to for some family and social events. But, other than that you can function mostly at night if the world was accommodating. People who work at night generally prefer the peace and quiet. So yeah, I supposed there would be some sacrifice on their part. But, then everyone would be equal on sleeping conditions as well. Plus, it might be possible to get more done and put more people to work as well.

            But, no to be considered normal you have to be willing to function during the day no matter what. Wouldn’t it be easier to let people be themselves and live on their natural sleep pattern? That seems more normal to me. I didn’t start writing today intending to go on a rant it just sort of happened. Thoughts just seem to enter my head as I start writing all innocent like and before I know it I am off and running. Other times I start writing mad and the thoughts are already there.

            But, I have rambled enough or more accurately ranted enough for one day. Feel free to leave questions and comments below. And, if you are a night owl like some of us share this with your friends and family and continue the discussion. As for me I have more schoolwork to do as always. *Tips his hat and walks out the door into the night*.
