All or Nothing
There's not a lot that I feel merits writing today,
but it's been three days since I posted anything to my weblog, and I refuse to
allow it to fall into disuse.
There's not a lot that I feel merits writing today,
but it's been three days since I posted anything to my weblog, and I refuse to
allow it to fall into disuse.
That's the strange thing about my life that I've never really been able to understand or control: things are either all or nothing for me. Take for example exercise. Either I'm in the gym 5+ days a week or not at all. I can't seem to get myself to go periodically. It's all or nothing. Keeping a journal, seeking auditions, eating healthy, pursuing a social life... it's not that I see any of these things as "all or nothing" deals, but the fact of the matter is I'm either doing something all the time or not at all. Maybe it has to do with my one-track mind.
Anyway, the web site has been an important goal of mine, plus all my life I've wanted to keep up a journal and this one exceeds any previous attempt by orders of magnitude. So with nothing else to write I write about having nothing to write!
Actually, I've done some stuff. Right now I'm trying to focus on getting a near-final draft of the master's paper out the door. I'm really pushing burnout, but I'm going to try to do a marathon weekend and say "this is (nearly) as good as it gets!" to everyone on Monday. So I'm going to finish this entry up, do a tiny amount of housework, and then hope I can hyperfocus on the paper for the next 72 hours. Maybe I should schedule in the occasional bit of exercise so I don't kill my hands again.
GOD I'll be happy when this damn this is behind me!
