Archive of Life

I really doubt anyone reads what's left of this staggering blog. For now, I archived the old posts.
I was going to selectively delete some, but figured I would start with a blank canvas.

One of my favorite quotes this year has been "Where there's life, there's hope." I made a desktop wallpaper out of that one-- it's on my other blog if interested.

I kind of want to get back into blogging some. I keep trying to make a YouTube video, but never like the result and so I don't post it. Maybe I'll try again.

I've been cleaning my closet again- literally and figuratively.

With the literal closet and room cleaning, I got a more spring floral-cutesy bedspread to brighten the room up, instead of the burgundy bedspread. I've done 3890897383 loads of laundry.

I'm trying to clean out the old and have what I really enjoy around-- and that includes you people. :)

So, with that said, I archived my YouTube Facebook and Twitter. Please find me on my old accounts. Links to all are on my other blog. I had meant to turn my YouTube channel into something, then post on the FB and Twitter accounts for it more. But, I never thought of a channel theme (ok, so I was too chicken to upload any videos I kept trying to make) and having multiple social accounts made me neglect them all.

I just uploaded some fun city pics on my FB showing two places I've lived. They're so different... it's a fun album and kind of makes me miss the other city. I've neglected photography this year, but at least edited some older photos and tossed those on FB. If you know me, I virtually never upload pics online, so... be amazed.

I'm torn between cities and trying to decide where I want to live and settle down. Pupcake asked me the other day: "if you could live anywhere, where would you live, and why?"

I'm not sure how people decide where to live. There's always a trade off: big city with tons of events and fun, but high rent, lots of traffic, crowds, expensive restaurants. Or, small town with few events, but friendly people... and you somehow make it fun anyway. Smaller towns tend to have less traffic, friendlier people, a relaxed way of life, lower rent, and cheaper living. Oh, and sometimes lower salaries.

It's funny how some things become more important to you, and others less.

I want to get back into photography, fun hobbies, road trips, friends-- local and you folks.

I want to stop reading a few of the impersonal, corporate-type blogs I read. I prefer one-on-one interaction where I'm reading stuff my friends write or seeing photos or art they created.

I'm spending less time watching videos of people I've never interacted with and those that have hundreds of thousands of views. I would rather watch people I can interact with. There used to be a little YouTube community going. That was fun, but it's all but disappeared. I can't remember when I started watching those guys... maybe 3-4 years ago?

And, I want to frickin' finish my degree. Sheesh!
