It's About That Time

Hey All,
I thunk it was about time i blogged something here. Starting to smell stale and musty around here lately...

Well, life is changing. My life, that is. Slowly, but i can see some progress. It's weird, really. Lately, things just seem...different, in various areas. Hard to describe, hard to put a finger on, but i will try (for you, my faithful readers, all for you)...

Various stuff is going on with me. I applied for, and will soon be receiving, my very first-est credit card (ooo...let's all bow down and worship the shiny plastic...***thick dripping sarcasm***) . This is exciting for me, as I will be using it to order my 5-issue comic mini-series Omega Flight direct from Marvel Comics (see http://canadas-own-the-flight.blogspot.com/ for much more info and excitement on this subject).
Also, i will be able to, in time, use my credit card to order more obscure and annoying-to-my-family-due-to-its-antiquity Christian music online. Only, though, when i have available funds to be able to pay for it as soon as the bill comes in. (Nuts! Responsibility SUX!)

Lately in my life, i am feeling more relaxed. That is not to say that i do not get stressed at times, or angry at times. Rather, i just feel more comfrotable being me, and allowing a lot of me that i have repressed over the years come out. Really, i am amazed sometimes at the person that i used to be, before my ex-wife cut my heart out, and the person that i became after that. Like two completely different people. Now, i am consciously (or is that unconsciously) trying to let more of who i used to be come out. A little more fun-loving, a little more relaxed and a little less uptight.

Some examples of this. Well, one tell-tale example that I see, is that i have begun to hum and sing a little bit more. You see, i used to break out loudly into song when i was a younger man. It didn't matter how loud or off-key or off-tempo i was - the whole point was to be heard. Now, i am nowhere near where i used to be in this regard. But lately i have noticed myself humming or singing quietly, even with people around me! This has been unheard of for the last 5 years or so! I dunno, maybe nobody else has really noticed it yet, but i sure do!

There are other changes going on in my life. I am completely enjoying a return to my teenage years of loving comic books. Although i have not bought as many on E-Bay lately (after having some money stolen by a fellow Canadian on E-Bay, and getting nothing from him in return - the Crook! I leave him in God's hands to be dealt with swiftly and drastically! ), i have bought a few used ones locally, and am just enjoying the experience - searching for them, purchasing them, putting them in protective bags, labelling them, listing them on my computer, reading them, blogging about them; it is all so enjoyable! What a lovely hobby, i never realized how much i missed it! And to be able to collect a new series, albeit a mini series (5 issues only), still, what a tremendous pleasure, one that I have not been able to enjoy for about 19 years or so. Wow, time flies, doesn't it?! Hard to believe that I am already 36 years old!

Also, i have been pushing myself in my commitment to reading my Bible in the mornings after i get up, to start my day off by focusing my thoughts on the right things. Although I , so far, have not been perfect at this, still I know it is a very good thing to shoot for. And my bass guitar, is something i have recently took back out of mothballs, dusted off my Bass Guitar For Dummies book, and I still believe that, God willing, I may still have enough time left on this earth to learn to play the bass.

Okay, that is it for now. I blogged a lot more than i thought i would! Tata for now, true believers!
