Judging by my post count since December, I guess it is fair to say I have been in a state of hibernation. Winter gets more difficult every year as I’ve grown so tired of the cold, constant grey skies and excessive use of road salt that eats away at my car’s finish. I completely get bears and why they’d prefer to just sleep through all this mess. I had a slight taste of this as I spent 6 weeks recovering at home, unable to drive and rarely venturing outside unless absolutely necessary. Sounds horrible? Not at all.
I started to wonder if this is what retirement might be like. The thought of not having to be anywhere every day, to wake up and do whatever felt good, even if what felt good meant doing nothing at all… boy, absolute bliss. So many days were spent burning hours in countless games, which at first thought made me feel very guilty as though I were throwing the days away, but honestly I was having a great time. My only regret is not having a balance of exercise and lethargy but my recovery prevented any physical exertion so I had a legitimate excuse to be absolutely lazy – probably not a good thing 🙂
Unfortunately all good things must end and that is exactly what has happened to my brief taste of retirement or life without responsibility. How grand it was. Now that I am back amongst the Lemmings and fighting through my regular routine, I’d like to get back to posting here and offering bits of nonsense for your consumption. As evident from the few postings that exist from last year, most content will relate to gaming or general geekery… ideally just about anything that comes to mind when I get the urge to share.
It is great to be back, looking forward to more activity in 2015 and a return to Twitch. I hope to see you around.
