So, I find today’s title extremely clever. However, I think anyone who wasn’t living in the metro Detroit area at least five years ago may not find it so. I thought about adding the rest of the ad including the flamingos practicing their chorus line, but why beat a dead reference? Or did I do exactly that?
Anyhoo, I’m in between jobs today, and have five minutes before I leave. Since I’ve been such a terrible blogger as of late, I figured I’d better jump at this opportunity.
I was putting some stuff away yesterday (things still in boxes from the great office remodel of 2004), and found my old journal. I kept it for roughly the year before I moved out here. I read it. Methinks I should start writing in it again (in my free time). All those things that just don’t belong here. I have to admit that reading it was pretty fascinating. It was as though I was reading something about someone else. Someone who was young and interesting and rebellious. Someone for who everything was so easy. When did life get so complicated? So, now I am all introspective. It goes along with my weeding out all the extra material crap I don’t need right now. It looks like i should be weeding other things as well…prioritizing and all that. Man, I think it was easier without the extra introspectivity* going on.
Sigh. Stupid journal.
*Yeah that probably isn’t a word. I’m already on the run from the OED police.
