I’m at an interesting point in my life. I don’t like it very much, but I have no one to blame but me. Before I even get into it I must say its not the worst situation I’ve been in and I know life goes on to bigger and better things, so I do know this will pass. But frankly, it hasn’t yet, so here is my dilemma.
Last year, I met a girl through some friends. Long story short we got to know each other, started dating, and fell in love. Everything was going just perfect right up until about April. People that know me know that I am a happy person. It takes a lot for me to become depressed. And when I say a lot I mean like traumatic shit. Otherwise, I have a “go with the flow” sort of attitude. Now here’s where the problem begins. I got my wisdom teeth taken out and I kind of let myself down because I really was expecting to just wake up a day or two later and be back to normal. Unfortunately, for two weeks I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to spoon food in, let alone chew anything. Almost a month later, I still can not eat normally. Now couple that with helping her relocate, living with her and my brother, the rest of life’s daily stresses, I quickly fell into a depressed state. That might not have been such a huge deal, had I fully known what was going on with me.

This video of a guy riding his bike sent shivers down my spine.
Very well made video by Dave Sowerby with the song The Funeral by Band of Horses. Dark-magic-on-a-bike by Danny “Mac-Ass” MacAskill. Well I can’t verify anyone actually calls him “Mac-Ass” other than me, but if not, it’ll happen soon.
I’m sure by now you have seen it, but here it is again in all of its amazing, asian-winning glory.
Now for some reason I have never tried to learn from the video. Maybe its the bright colors and the zany Japanese commentary, but it wasn’t until I saw the english version that I attempted this feat myself.
Turns out, it’s amazingly easy and folded all of my laundry including re-folding the rest of my clothes with little effort. I must admit my folds are nowhere near as perfect as the ones in the videos, but I refuse to iron each t-shirt. Maybe with a little practice I’ll get a little closer. Enjoy!
So, I guess not posting for six months would be considered a little more elevated than slacking. I can’t really say I’ve been offline or not doing anything, that’s been obvious if you follow my Twitter at all, but tending to this blog has definitely fallen off the to-do list for far too long.
Now that the blog is back up I am proud to show off the new, clean layout. My favorite part is that the XHTML and CSS both validate! Check out the new links in the footer. I still have to go back through old posts and tighten them up a bit but I’ve been meaning to do a little post-related spring cleaning anyway. Getting everything to validate was no easy feat, either. I’ll be posting some tutorials on how to do so pretty soon.
I still have a few other things on my plate before I feel I can put as much effort toward this blog as I want to, but it’s definitely getting there. While I clean up older posts I’ll try to backdate a few posts of events I have pictures of. If you check my Flickr you can see I’ve been pretty neglectful there, too. Hopefully that will all be changing soon!
