Conductor: "all aboooarrrdd"

Hey, its been a while, and you should know i've missed you as much as youve missed me.
but i'm back in action, and this should bring a smile to both of our faces.

Its summer finally.
Time to lay outside with the sun shining on my currently pale skin.
If you havn't heard, its the Summer of Brent.
I dont know exactly what all that entails, but I will be enjoying myself as much as humanly possible.
We're 3 days in, and i'd be hard pressed to be happier with how its turning out.

With the advent of summer comes time to start a possible new tradition.
Summer Resolutions.
Not some bullshit new years resolutions that end up less resolute and more of a fantasy.
Without snow on the ground, I have wet pavement and a stick to make these resolutions more concrete.

1) I'd like to make this blog a tri-weekly thing... being as how i like writing so much, but the motivation illudes me (a common theme).

2) lifing weights, another common summer goal.. but also a common carrot on a stick.

These months are ripe with opportunity, and i will take full advantage of it.
Let me out of my comfort zone and take a step into my personal bubble.
Theres no need to wipe your feet on the welcome mat.

The age of narcodic experimentations may be grinding to a halt.
As much as I still stand by my theory of 'have to try to know'
it does leave an empty space inside,
i've felt addiction, and i've seen it... and its much scarrier than i thought.
chemicals will fuck you without lube.
so i feel a few weeks of spiritual and physical cleansing are in order
to get my head back level on my shoulders again.

Heres some insight.
Ever wonder how honest people really are?
Ive been on a year long conquest to lie as little as possible.
I feel many others however... people close to me... may not be on the same page.
I start out thinking everyone is a honest and lacks flaws,
then build character from there.
What i've found is deception and lies rear their ugly heads far too often
in situations that leave others feeling poorly.
[insight over]

3) Above all, build that summer self confidence. As my theory of life progresses, my stance is that confidence and a true sense of self is far underated or overlooked. You dont even have to learn to love yourself, its in there somewhere, and i usually allow the sun to let it rise tothe surface of my skin where i can baste in it. Unfortunatly it seems to be a seasonal thing, like hurricanes or wildfires. But thats work in progress, its a lifelong journey i'm on, and expectations of perfection now dont seem healthy or plausable.

Love seems to be just beyond my fingertips. I lack the vision to find it just yet, but i am going to the eye doctor in the morning, and we'll see what he has to say.
"with these, you'll have 20/20 vision"
"with these, you'll know what you want/deserve"
Thanks doc, youve been more than kind, and a tremendous help.
Now its up to my strength to climb out of bad habbits i seem to fall into in a cyclical way.

This is life baby... a work in progress for sure.
