I'm out of shape. Or at least I feel out of shape. Both mentally and physically, I'm feeling a bit doughy. While it's all fine and good to revert to a liquid form for brief periods of time, I think life is much better lived when one's body and mind are toned. As such, I'm resurrecting this blog to at least give my mind something to do. I doubt my body will be mistaken for Adonis any time soon, but that's another story altogether, a slovenly descent from dedicated runner to lethargic waddler.
A few days ago, some kickball friends and I were shooting the breeze at a post-game BBQ. The weather was absolutely perfect, the type of June weather people ideally associate with June, but don't often see because Missouri weather is akin to an armpit in both dampness and temperature. Somehow, the topic of personality came up and I was asked to described mine. After thinking about it for a few moments, I gave a flippant but unexpectedly honest answer, "sporadic obsessive." A few friends nodded in agreement. I suppose I could explain what I meant, but if you already know me, then I'm sure it needs no explanation, and if you don't know me and are reading this for some reason, it'll probably come together after reading a few of my posts.
So in the spirit of starting a new project with initial vigor, I'm giving blogging another shot. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's once again summer and summer always brings out a certain amount of reflection. I can't promise that this will be interesting or that I'll even be honest. If you want honesty, go watch a hawk swoop down into a field and shuffle a rodent off its mortal coil. What I can promise is that I have no idea what direction this blog will actually take. I don't know if this will be more biographical, observational, or hobby focused. In the end, I think you'll be just as surprised by what gets written here as I am, and that suits my personality just fine. Here's to another modest adventure.
