5+ years of posting and a few thoughts

I am back. It has been two weeks since my last post, too bad. I did in all this time away miss my 5th blog birthday. I have been posting since February 2005. I cannot believe it either. I know that the number of my postings has decreased, especially of late, but I have been pretty consistent with this.

That means I may have a lot to say. Or at least I like to think that I do.

In that time, I have said some pretty funny things and some pretty sad ones. I have "lost" family members and gained some, too (birth of nephews, etc.). There have been good times and bad. It is like life, hell, it is life. The sweet with the bitter makes it all one big and great paradox. It is the sad that makes me appreciate the good.

This has also been a place where I can get up on my soapbox and let you, the world, know about my life philosophy. It has been rather organic as it has come by way of living and observing events in my life and life in general in my detached state. I intellectualize things. It is who I am and how I make sense of emotions and life events.

It is funny as I think upon that notion of intellectualization. I look back to myself in 1978. I had not tried smoking pot. Yet, there I was researching it and the data of the day to really understand and separate fact from propaganda. I did the same thing with LSD, in terms of its effects, and found my first acid trip to be quite enjoyable. It was because I could call it a random firing of neurons that I knew my hallucinations were just that and temporary. It made for an enjoyable ride or trip.

I will endeavor to post more often, though I really do not know who, if anybody, is reading out there. I have enjoyed this five years of posting and hope to enjoy more of it in the future.

Ciao!
