almost back to the ordinary world

I’ve been pretty remiss on updates as of late. A big reason for that is that I stepped back and realized that I’m involved in a lot of stuff. I mean that I’m really involved in a lot. Probably over my head. Which I’ve known for a while, but didn’t want to officially acknowledge. Or when I did, it was usually in a fit of depression when I’d think “I’m never going to be able to handle all of this.” Thankfully those moods don’t last too long. But in the end I was still left with a ton of stuff to do.

So I’ve been working to organize and prioritize my life. To decide what’s important to me and what do I need to focus on. The great news is I’m just about there. I’ve been kickin’ butt at work, really crankin’ through some un-fun stuff I had over my head. So once I’m through that I’ll have more time to blog. The same is true for my life outside of work, but that needs a bit more work right now.

Matt Look Update: I was supposed to get my new glasses today, but (grumble grumble) they don’t have the sunglasses attachments in yet. I’m not getting a hair cut until I get the glasses and really digest how they look on me so I can make a final do decision.

I’m happy, feeling glad, got sunshine…

I had a great weekend! How was yours. I’ve got a lot to write about, but not enough time yet. But here’s a preview… I’ve been planning to change my blog a little bit. There’s some stuff that I’ve been wanting to add to it for a while. So by next week I’m hoping to make those changes (more on them over the next few days). In the meantime I have another webcomic to recommend Demonology 101. Its sorta Buffy with an manga injection. But that isn’t quite it either. check it out..

addicted to web comics

I’m a big comic… err… graphic literature fan. Actually I came close to getting involved in the industry (but that is a story for another day…). Any way, the internet has proved itself to be a valuable medium for independant storytellers to share their works. It’s allow people a reach that they never could have achieved for the same cost via traditional methods. Of course there is both the good and the very, very bad out there (emphasis on the latter). But every now and then you find one that really works. I found Gim Ji-Hoon’s Pulling today and had to share. Check this simple, but beautiful story out.

ow… and other random things

if there is one thing that martial arts has done for me, it’s made me an expert in pain. Unfortunately that’s usually pain inflicted on me (or that I inflict on myself). And the latest bit of it has been bad pain (as opposed to good pain like sore muscles). Since last night I’ve had a charlie horse like knotted muscle in my left thigh that is making walking a joy. Bleh. I love getting kicked in the leg.

Things are well so far in 2002. The plan is that my new look will be revealed within the next three weeks (I’m busy getting the pieces in place). More updates as they come. Other than that I need to get my apartment cleaned. Hannah has two new sisters!

happy new year!

’nuff said!
