Post 217 | Happy

I was writing in my moleskin last night when I realized I had not blogged in quite a while. Then I asked myself why would that be? It's not like I am not doing anything. I am doing quite a lot. But it is all boring school related, well, stuff. Nothing exciting is happening. Sure fun events occur and I have laughs and quite a good time, but that is just it, I am having a good time.

Life is really good right now. Sure, I am really worried about money. I am really worried about school. I am really worried about just making it through the semester without making someone angry. I worry about the fact that I do not have guy friends I talk to on a regular basis. I worry about the future. BUT. I am happy.

I am enjoying learning, and enjoying my friends. I am enjoying my relationship with Tasha and just enjoying life. We go on little adventures from time to time, like going to see the Buried Life a few weeks ago. We went Geocaching a week or so ago. We went to Chicago a few weeks before that. We are going to go pet and feed giraffes in a few weeks. Just because something exciting does not happen every day does not mean I cannot be happy and content with life right now where it is at.

I am doing really well. Like I said, I worry about money, in fact it is probably what I worry about the most. I am attempting to get some online job stuff happening, right now I am simply waiting. I was thinking about trying some freelance writing. If more people visited this blog I could get some ad revenue flowing which would be great. But it is what it is right now.

And I am remarkably ok with that.

Tasha has started working which means she will be making money to start paying for things I would normally be paying for so that will help. She has started working which will put more of a strain on our time together, but I'm not worried. She is excited about being able to work again and have money again, which she has not been able to do in a few years now. She is using my car to get to and from work so she will be putting gas in it. That also means I have to be careful about getting a job, hence the interest in online possibilities.

Maybe I will start writing here more. I have been watching through The West Wing for the first time and it is sort of inspiring me to get writing again. The writing in it is really quite something, if I can use an Aaron Sorkin line, and I even wrote a little "walking and talking" parody I was thinking about making into a short video. Ya know, just stuff I like.

Trying to keep myself busy while Tasha is working is a little challenging, but I have some ideas that could generate income for myself. It is a matter of being resourceful right now. If I could land a job on campus that would be great. I was not rehired by the radio station this semester which is really unfortunate, but it is what it is. Seniors take priority. I really am going to try and shine in my radio classes... That was on accident pun, I promise for you Olivet people... And garner more attention from my teacher, perhaps work my way in more.

Life is moving right now, it is interesting. Some parts of me regret coming to a Christian college, but I know I am getting a great education and am gaining some really great friends. If I was not here I might have gotten into alcohol and some other stuff I would not be happy about, so I glad I am here.

You guys should really comment if you read my stuff, helps me know there are people out there on the Internet who perhaps care a little. Keep being awesome whoever you are out there, seriously. If you are down and need to talk I am here. If you are happy and content, keep it up. Don't worry about the little things, you'll just create problems for yourselves. If you aren't happy, change it.

Before I started I titled this post "Fallllll." Then I realized I reached the end of the post and had not mentioned fall at all, so I changed it. For those of you who are interested in "behind-the-scenes" sorts of things, that is sometimes my thinking process. Alright, thanks for reading. Stay awesome.
