The Putter Effect

I've been living somewhere between inspired and depressed. Somewhere between stagnant and going too fast. Wake up the day blossoming with opportunity and end pounding my head into a brick wall of my own making. I start bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to take on the world and by 2 I've logically removed every last puff of wind from my sails. After all, I dont really like bundt cake that much, so why make it?

Why make it, I ask? Because it makes me feel good to do something, anything. Especially if that anything is something I like. Because doing something I enjoy reaffirms who I am, why I like it, and what I want my future to look like. Because in not doing it, I loose myself. I'm lost, hence the loss of my satisfaction, happiness and motivation for the next day.

The most troubling factor, I suppose, is that I quit in the first place. I love to write, and I enjoy looking through a camera lens. Mountain biking in Thailand was an amazing experience(if excruciating, I don't have those muscles). While Tango's a bit out of reach right now, jewelry smithing isn't. Nor is painting drawing and ceramics. I enjoy this but... I fall off the wagon, succumbing to my laziness and mediocrity and loosing myself. Maybe its conditioning or stamina, maturity level and discipline....

Toda, I made, according to Tanner and with his help, a Coco Sour Cream Butt Cake with Tanner. Today I wrote, a little, hence the blog. I loaded the stupid dishwasher, as the dishes were dirtied and fresh, and cleaned up after myself in the kitchen. That'll work for now.
