Lack Of Update: An Explanation

Things were looking upward after last week. "A Wednesday Wupdate? On Wednesday?!?!" most of you probably exclaimed, jumped out of your seats and feasted on the fatted calf as you slowly read my update over a period of 48 hours, savoring and analyzing every word like it was your last. Or so I imagined.

Also, I think that the first sentence in this update is so long and convoluted that it killed all other sentences. Sentences are survived by his wife, statements with ellipses, and his bastard children, fragments and run-ons.

Alright, I think that's enough grammar humor for the night.

So, this week was updateless. This doesn't count. It's more of a mea culpa. It's not that I haven't had anything to write lately. It's just that most of what life is throwing me right now deserves a more intimate writing. I would post the progress on the screenplay i'm writing or all of the poetry, but A) screenplay's story is a secret (I've only divulged any of the details to one person), and as for the poetry B) this is not the livejournal of a 15 year old. So, those private writings remain just that. For now.

I must just write a little bit about transformation, because it's been on my mind recently. It's hard not to be after seeing family members for the first time in years at my sister's wedding, and pretty much the only thing I heard all weekend was "I did not recognize you at all!" It gets a little old saying "yes, I got older," but it was amusing as well. This year featured one of the most profound changes in me. Physically, I grew up a bit. But really, mentally, I went through a dramatic shift, which I've only been seeing the fruits of very recently. The last four weeks of my second semester were really odd. I sat around and didn't do much, and played way too many hours of videogames. It was like I was in a cocoon, and now I've emerged. I feel oddly responsible, strangely health conscious, and suspiciously ready to take on anything. I work out and write every day. I'm doing things that scare me. And I'm playing far less videogames (I mean, I love videogames, but you would think that my consumption would go up rather than almost disappear once coming home). I feel like an adult, and for the first time, that doesn't scare me.

I'm ready now.

So, I'm now prepared to be surprised. We'll see what transformations life leads me to.

Life is good.
