Back to Work Day
Day's over and done with and I'm about 6 or 7 hours away from getting back to the grind for another four days. At least I have a Saturday off to look forward to.
Went over to my brother's place tonight to watch some shows but ended up talking about a whole bunch of stuff instead. It was mostly relationship stuff but we covered other interesting bits like the paralyzing fear I tend to experience whenever I consider making another short film or contributing to this blog in a honest and mostly unedited fashion, and we also managed to squeeze a little chat in on his new and budding relationship with a very nice woman he's recently met. I don't usually talk about really personal stuff with family members or spouses for various reasons, but I decided to break the rules tonight on the off chance that it might actually help to hear myself talk about some stuff that was bugging me about life, the universe and everything.
It actually started out of a conversation about this blog, to be honest. I was telling him about how it was nice to get a response from a random passerby and connecting on the "Abby" issue, but also how freaked out I was that someone ran across the 'secret blog' that is supposed to be hidden away from hidden, familial, prying eyes. I never realized that About a Boy is linked to through my profile page making it accessible to anyone who wanders through there. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that, but for the time being I've kind of committed myself to making an effort to using this blog in the way I originally intended, so I'm just going to look the other way on that one.
Neurotic, paranoid or just crazy, you tell me.
Anyway, the talk tonight was actually pretty cool because we talked about stuff I haven't really discussed with anyone before, especially those I'm related to. I'm generally used to being judged before I even say anything so it felt good to get a few things off my chest. It's a little late to get into any of them right now, but there's a good chance I may touch on some of them in a later post. Maybe when the courage to be candid gets a little bit stronger.
I think I'm going to do a little surfing and then I'm going to hit the sack.
Good night and good luck.
