Hmmm

You ever get news that irrevocably changes your life? Yeah I got some of that recently. I know that I did not handle it well initially. I know that I want it to go back to the way it was for many reasons. Some very selfish, some very practical and logical. But in the end, it doesn't matter. It is what it is. And I think I have finally gotten to a point in my life where I can decide how I view things. So, I can view it as a negative and let it consume my life. Or I can view it as a positive, and what is supposed to happen right now, and move forward. I have had enough negative in my life, and frankly, I don't need it anymore. So, here's to the positive. Here's to taking what life gives you and making the best of it.

Welcome back...

I thought I would come back to writing, as I am taking a hiatus from Facebook. It got to be that my addiction was readily apparent, and as a 29 year old man, father, Army officer, veteran, graduate student, that tiny fact just didn't seem acceptable. So I wrote a little note on FB saying goodbye. I want to get back to what is important in my life: my daughter, school, fitness and health (I would say that cooking falls under the health part). I have let those things suffer because I am too busy wasting time. Well, no more. One could argue, I suppose, that this is a time waster as well. But I disagree. I think a forum to get my thoughts, feelings and emotions out is a good and necessary outlet. Writing by hand is great, but really, my handwriting after a very short while gets indecipherable and even doctors look at it and scratch their heads. Yeah, it gets bad. So typing it and having it forever memorialized in cyberspace seems to be the alternative. I can deal with that. With that being said though, I don't want this to become a consuming thing either. So I will try and moderate it the best I can.
Also, I contribute to my friend's culinary blog- http://leetsstreet.com/ which is pretty awesome. Her stuff if amazing. My stuff works. Check it out if you feel so inclined.
Apart from that, I will try and keep the posts mildly interesting while still trying to communicate whatever it is I'm trying to communicate. No one likes to read boring shit. I know if and when my daughter ever looks at this, I don't want her to think that I was a total lame ass. But now I am going to get back to being taught Voodoo, otherwise known as Radiology. God this shit is boring. And made up. Made up, boring shit does not make for a conducive, post-lunch food coma learning environment. F.
