Well its about that time again.
Feel free to read into that however you like. I mean, with a statement like that applicability is the thing isn't it? For me, it boils down to making another highly irregular blog rambling.
I have been remiss. Part of this blog's purpose was to help me focus on my work, and highlight the interesting things going on with it. Life (new baby, Daddy duties, etc.) has a way of making your attempts at scheduling your narcissism seem less important. Not to say I haven't wanted to! On the contrary there have been some really awesome things going on! Seeing the new baby (via both ultrasound and my own x-ray vision), and getting ready for it to join our family, and of course all the awesome projects I am grateful to be a part of.. and come on, who doesn't love a little narcissism now and then?
It would appear that one cannot simply snatch hours out of the air to add to their days. This sad truth coupled with the grinding at the wheel, has led to some tiring stretches.
That said, it isn't all work and no play.
So far, I have had a hard time reconciling being a geek with my family. I mean, my son and I share interests, while my wife looks on confused and (more than a little alarmed). I just haven’t found a way to make the two halves meet. As a husband/Daddy, that nagging voice in my head tells me to “Put aside childish things.” resounds clarion. I just don’t think that voice understands though, the wonder, the hope, the joy of childhood, those things sustain us throughout our lives. Why let that go? Why blow out that candle?
Been a long time coming, just never got around to it. Not surprising given my penchant for overloading myself with work, and then freaking into hysterics over it. It isn’t earth shattering or anything, but it is still pretty cool. I will be getting the Imagine FX one scanned in soon :)
