It’s not lost on me that it’s been a minute since I last wrote anything. And among the last things that I did write about, it was probably sports and or professional wrestling-related in the first place, and admittedly I don’t like to stick to the same topic too frequently because I like the idea of being a well-rounded person who has thoughts, opinions and words to write about a myriad of things and not just a small pool of interests.
Sure, a part of the dormancy is the fact that I haven’t really found much to write about, but also the fact that in my work and personal lives, I’ve actually been kind of busy. Not a day goes by where there isn’t some local news that isn’t violent and could easily be twisted into a racial commentary, and there’s otherwise little else locally to talk about other than the impending Republican runoff for governor that I’ve already said numerous things about.
My taxes are going up in the upcoming fiscal year, which isn’t a surprise that the primary culprit of it all is the Atlanta Braves, which is something that most everyone with a brain saw coming, seeing as how the construction of ScumTrust Park and The Battery was a gigantic money suck to state and county coffers that is naturally the unfortunate responsibility of taxpayers. Obviously, I’m a little salty over the fact that my monthly rates will go up, but at the same time, I’m okay with it if it means that things like parks and libraries aren’t shut down and rendered inaccessible services to the people. Granted, I’d rather the Braves never moved in the first place and this wouldn’t have happened, but I don’t have the completed Infinity Gauntlet in my possession, so I can’t go back in time to rectify that.
By the way, I actually caught up and watched Avengers: Infinity War, which is in large part to making this reference. It was slightly better than I had anticipated, because I felt there was a high possibility of them fucking things up by having to cram so much crossing over into a singular film, that it could convolute things real fast, but I didn’t think they did a bad job, and put out a pretty decent flick.
The main reason why I’ve fallen behind on writing lately is that aside from work, my life outside of work has been pretty busy over the span of the last month or so. Obviously because I’m still offline, nobody but me is ever going to read this until I get shit up online one day so I can say it without repercussion, but I’ve been doing things around the house to surprise mythical gf for when she gets back from being abroad.
Namely, I’m redoing the master bathroom in my house, primarily by painting it. The colors that they came in were a little gaudy and not quite necessarily what either of us really would have wanted, but in her absence, I’ve taken the liberties to repainting the entire room from top to bottom, from walls to baseboards and trim. It doesn’t sound like that big of a deal, but having painted the vast majority of my house mostly by myself, I’ve gotten to the point where I absolutely abhor the act of painting, and if the cost of hiring people to do it for me weren’t so absurdly disproportionate to doing it myself, I’d probably prefer getting punched in the dick ten times over doing any painting.
But I’m doing it anyway, which I hope goes to show how much I care about mythical gf, and I certainly hope that she recognizes the effort as well.
Also, I’ve been doing a laundry list of little things around the house like patching up blemishes and repainting scuffs or drywall tears, or any of the little things that occurred a year ago that I’d said I’d take care of, but never did until recently. And although I’m pretty sure I talked about it in my post about how it’s been a year since I moved in, but the air conditioning in my house has been completely replaced, and it’s absolutely amazing that for the first time since moving in, I’ve actually got really functional and outstanding air conditioning in the house, and it’s making life so much better this hot summer.
But I’m done now with the painting, and like 80% of the projects that I wanted to do while mythical gf is away. I still have one last task that I’d like to complete, but it’s contingent on the delivery of the key component, and hoping that it arrives earlier than its estimated delivery date, so that I can get it up and installed prior to her return.
Regardless, with the major project that I wanted to do now done, I feel like I can actually relax some before she gets back. Because as you may or may not know, relaxation is a talent that I have zero of, and as long as I’ve felt like there was something I should be doing, I had to be doing them or working towards them, but now that I’ve accomplished most of my goals, I might actually be able to relax for the next week.
I’d like to catch up on some movies and television that I feel like I’ve been falling behind on, and with most of my projects out of the way now, hopefully I’ll be able to sit back and actually enjoy them. And in other non-screen free time, maybe I’ll find some crap that I’d like to write about, and get back to some semblance of some consistent writing too.
