New Year's Blues

Well, the year has ended, and new year begins... you know, it happens every year about this time! Not sure what the year will hold, but it isn't boding well on a personal level. Household angst is reaching a boiling point. But I'll leave that be for now...

My commitment to blog every day for 2009 ended successfully. The whole year's worth is archived here on the site - I just imported the whole thing from eBlogger. What that means is now I'll have more time to dedicate to other things, like this website here. Plenty still on tap. I also have 2 novels in the works. 

But as usual, the way I handle stress and angst isn't the most productive. Instead of diving into productive avenues of release, I turtle up and find solace and safety in frittering away time playing games or browsing funny videos online... this can consume hours, and I have nothing to show for it, like I would if I spent the time revamping this site, or writing. But maybe something will happen and it will change, who knows. We'll see.

In the meanwhile, all I can do is try once again to commit to spending time doing productive, encouraging, beneficial things with my time. Grow up, in other words. It's rather exquisitely difficult, considering, shall we say, certain details of my marital situation.

All that to say, Hi, I'm Dave, it's a new year, and with your permission, I'm going to hope for the best.
