I just realized that it has been way too long since I have posted to my blog. And quite frankly, I am pissed off at myself for letting it happen again.

We all have “To Do” Lists. My problem is I cannot outsource them to anyone. The other problem is once you start writing them they have a tendency to be something that rivals a novel in length. And who has time to read one of those? I guess the key is to do it in pieces. I definitely have plenty of “pieces”.
A few weeks ago, I was at school to renew my certification for being able to operate the ropes course on which I work. It was a good time and the weather was good. I like 
events like this because they attempt to recharge my internal batteries which have been on a low level for last few months. The problem is after such events I have a pathetic habit of winding up dealing with bullshit that kills the mood in a matter of no time what so ever. And this time was no different. I will spare you the details. I think the “Service Engine Soon” Light was signal that was meant for more than just my truck.
However, let me get back to this blog. I was going to write about what I did over that weekend. What I learned. And so forth.
However, I decided not to go that route. There are things that happen to you. The revelations that you more or less stumble into. You begin to realize what you want. What you have. And the distance between the two. You begin to realize that there are some things you need and the rest is just a waste for the most part. And you become surprised what ends up in each category. You want to share this new found knowledge. In the end, when it comes to dealing with others in this moment of truth. It is best to just smile and say nothing. Just file under the designation “If you were not there then you will not understand.” It is not meant to be rude or arrogant. It is simple. This is going to sound cryptic. And that is how I want it. I just need to do what needs to be done for myself. And come to a new balance when it comes to dealing with virtue and vice. I think there are times when you can over-explain yourself. And then you will spend too much time defended yourself.
You want to tell people what you need and your initial plan action. However, more often than not people will try to sell you what they think you need. I think this is why I like those “Lone Gunman” style action movies. “The Man with No Name” comes into town and sees what needs to happen. He does it without a lot of talking. And when it is all done in the end he then makes his quiet exit. Today, too many people want to talk about everything they are doing. Then after while you realize if they are always talking then they really are not really doing anything at all.
There are more ideas behind this posting that may appear somewhere in other writing pieces. But that will be another time.
And therefore, I need to get back to work.
