| ElusiveWords Recently blogged about a topic that I was debating writing on; where am I with my dreams. I told somebody recently that the last time i went to China it was a lot of soul searching and identifying who i am and what i want. I wasn't sure if the upcoming trip was going to be the same and he commented "Quarter life crisis?" to which i replied only if im destined to be 120...
Smart ass comments aside it kinda makes me wonder why at this point in my life i still dont know what i want. I know things i want... to die happy. have friends and not be alone. but what i want out of life and how im going to get there... im pretty lax. There are a few highlights. a few things that are on my bucket list but they are all very very very nerdy. and not very practical, very selfish desires/wishes. oh well... | | |
| It has been awhile since I have been on xanga. I drifted away from this blog for a number of reasons most because a number of things in my life changed all at once. I feel i wasn't alone in this change as a number of people on here have moved on. I came back a few weeks back or was it months... and I noticed that a few number of people are no more. Accounts missing is a bit more of a shocker I feel then just a quite site... Its like having a mailing address only to find the building has been demolished and is now a parking for a Wall-mart...
I am honestly not sure if i will come back here. I think a part of what made Xanga such a wonder at the time was that it fufilled the niche of gossip/ information feed that we now get via the FB wall. There was social interaction via comments and eProps and all manner of random foot prints you got to look at. And just as Xanga let us lock who could see our accounts and people controlled what aspects of their lives were made public I think that was the time when some of us took our leave. Xanga stopped being an escape and required accountability.
Ah well. Perhaps its for the best that most of the people i know via xanga I have met in person and when i introduce them to my friends it goes something like this "Oh... I know him from Xanga" and then a good majority of my current friends look at me either wondering what xanga is or wondering that I even had Xanga.
I can't promise ill be more active but I am going to spend some hours this weekend trying to catch up on some of your lives. I will say this; nostalgia and I though on speaking terms do not have a very good history together.
So happy Canada (aka Dominion) day to all my friends up north and to all the rest happy Thursday! | | |

| There are times in our lives when things that we know come to an end. Transition periods. Some we look forward to; rites of passage like graduation and marriage. Others we dread; becoming an only child at the age of 50.
I would say right now i am in the later group. Options, purpose, meaning, value, depth; its all gone. It feels like i am leading a lie, a life of disbelief in of all things who I am. I suppose that is the inevitable conclusion of anybody who has been made redundant. I think it would be a small comfort if there really was "no future, there is no past" but as much as i would like to believe life is a musical, i know its not true. I know this because everybody else has a future, they have a past, and this moment is certainly not their last.
