Vegetating after being carnivorous

eating over 1 lbs of meat causes one to become a vegetable. I feel this is an irony of life.

Hrm... this isn't healthy...

I'm bored. Very very bored. With the exception of a few things going on (climbing trips, hanging out with Johnnie) very little has been exciting to me lately. This is bad - last time things got this way I started getting depressed.

When not doing the things that I look forward to, I seem to be doing things to "pass the time". I feel like I need some goal to be working towards. My student friends are all working towards a degree, my working friend are working towards that promotion or move to a different field office, or to make a name for themselves. I used to work towards being the best climber I could be... but lately with all of my injuries, I've started to feel this stifling sense of a self-imposed cap on my upward progress. And that leaves me with little else to work towards.

I hate whiny posts. so I think I'll end this one here and see if I can't find something new and novel...

Would we interrrupt this program?

Random thought: Do you suppose a network such as CNN or FoxNews would interrupt their commericial breaks if a nuclear missile was fired somewhere in the world? Or would they wait till the commercials would end?

lack of climbing is good for the neurosis...

Grr... nearly a month now with no climbing. I can feel myself getting antsier each day. Starting to have problems sitting still... :(

It's times like these that I hate being injured. I truly dislike having to limit myself in having fun - part of the allure of climbing is to feel free in the movement and the moment. I don't get that these days because both knees are acting oddly, as well as both shoulders being permanently injured (at least it seems that way).

To pass the time till I can climb again, I've taken to playing Go, spending more time on youtube, and cleaning things with a stack of Q-tips.

Gotta go now - the space between each key on my keyboard needs a good cleaning now...

patience

I sit and wait - for what, I'm not sure. I hope it gets here soon.
