MIA

Wow, how long it has been since I’ve typed into my blog! I committed myself to keeping this page updated but what can I say, I’m like most ambitious people in this world that start something with the full intention of following it through, only to shift to something new in the following week. That in itself is one fundamental thing that I have discovered about myself this year, my tastes tend to shift. From music to reading to hobbies, I’m constantly shifting, and I don’t know why. I love my hobbies, there are several that tend to repeat themselves, but I believe it’s because they don’t last longer than a couple months at a time. Specifically speaking, I’m referring to my hobby as a hunter, and my hobby as a gardener.

I go through many interests during the year, but hunting and gardening repeat themselves annually…but not for longer than a couple of months at a time. Right now my garden is overflowing with weeds but I’m tracking several deer and I’m way into it. In a few months, my garden will be immaculate but my guns and bow will be dirty and dry. Will I do this forever? How can I merit spending time, money, and effort on my interests, when I know they’re whimsical? I guess I’ll just have to make a note as to which ones keep coming back time and time again then officially make those ‘My Interests’ for that ever popular blank on every job application. I guess after-all that it is beneficial for a person to keep shifting into something new, it keeps us versed in other peoples’ potential priorities and constantly keeps us ‘well rounded’ and ready to spring at any moment into a conversation over common ground with the next potential acquaintance.
