Been a long time since I...

...Rock & Rolled!
...Did the Stroll!
...Wrote in my Blog!

Yes it has been a long time. And honestly I'm not completely sure I know why. Although, I can say with certainty that I am beginning to remember why I don't do any serious typing on my laptop anymore! This keyboard is too freaking small! I am so used to the "Naturals" style keyboards I use on my desktop at home and at work, that this flat little thing is really making me nuts with all the typos!!

So, on to my free forming thought parade.
There was a time in the past when I first set up this blog when I was contributing to it much more frequently. Even when I felt I had nothing important to say, I would still bang out some useless drivel just to try and keep my mind sharp.
But lately I haven't had the drive to even make meaningless postings.
I haven't felt like sharing my life on the Internet, not because I was afraid of who might see it, but I was afraid that no one would bother with it.
I have friends and family that I know love me and care for me. And I feel the same to them...but we are all so caught up in our daily lives that stopping to read the inane postings of a man with nothing important to say is...not very high on the priority list. So...I figure...why bother when there's no real audience. I mean, all the really meaningful dialog of and about my life takes place in my own head, so what good comes from tapping on the keyboard? (especially THIS keyboard!)
But in the tapping comes some kind of calming effect. Some generally therapeutic sensation that by doing T H I S I am essentially doing what Dreams are supposed to do. Releasing stuff that's been locked up in my mind. All the drivel of the day that gets tossed in the back of my mind because at the time I think of it I don't have time to think ON it...or because some outside factor pops up to interfere with the process (that's what happens with four dogs in my house...)
So, here I am...tapping my sub-conscience thoughts out on a laptop with a keyboard I am not fond of to the point of being distracted by the sound of January's panting.
What can I say. I just don't have anything BIG to say at the moment. But I still wanted to say SOMEthing...
OK...SOMEthing. There, am I happy now?

I am SO not looking forward to summer this year. I am really not a big fan of the heat...especially when the AC unit on my house is so old it hardly cools the air anymore and I have no way to replace it cuz that takes money that I ain't got.

So...let me ask you this: If you had the funds to do one of these two things, which would you choose:
1. Replace all the horrible carpet in your home with some kind of hardwood flooring
or
2. pay for a significant chunk of the cost to replace the old AC unit on your house.
Either one of these two things should increase the value of your home as well as improve your comfort level...

I dunno...I'm stuck. I have a refund due soon that could put me in a position to have this choice for real, but damned if I know which one to do...which way to go.

Story of my life: Too many choices. heh...
