On Being Lazy

I'm coming upon my 5th blogiversary now. My how my thoughts have changed. I'm nowhere nearly as "profound" as I used to be, and when a brief moment of intellectual glory does appear, rarely do I blog about it. I believe it to be a product of where I am in in life. I'm not surrounded by those that stimulate me intellectually, nor, have I made overtures to those that could/do, to engage in "profoundly intellectual" discourse.

I've been hella lazy.

But da hell, people change, as do blogs.

This one isn't going anywhere, and I will continue to post intermittently. I've skimmed over the thoughts I've posted in the last 5 years or so, and even before then. I'm not engaged like I used to be. I don't care like I used to. Clearly. Wonder what that's about?

I'm lazy, yea. I'm not nearly as busy as I could be. That was brought to my attention by my latest realization. Funny he thinks all I do is party and hit the streets. I doth protest, but really, if I ain't working, I am out socializing. But not with him. Perhaps he DOES have a point. I'm enjoying my social life in the ATL, finally, but at the expense of my altruistic and other personal endeavors.

I could blame it on the house hunt. That's just about over.
I could blame it on my career. Nah, I like that too much.
I could blame it on my sister. Giggles.
I could blame it on my rotation. Kicks and Giggles. Aloud.
I could blame it on the economy. This ain't funny, ain't a damn thing to laugh about.

I'm just LAZY.

But I'm tired of being lazy. I had a long conversation with my best friend about life and how he's getting along in China. I came away realizing I'm not engaging my friendships and relationships to my benefit. Our conversation has inspired me to get off my arse and stop being lazy. There's much I can contribute and much I NEED to do. And even when I think there's not much I can add, turns out I've made an impact, where I least expected.

Now THAT'S profound.
