Passion

I love writing. Someday I hope to be a famous writer and get paid for something I am totally passionate about. I admit I’m not a very good writer. My punctuation isn’t up to par and I love run on sentences.  On the other hand I love sharing.  I took a writing class last year and loved it.  I wish I spent as much time as I did back then on each piece I wrote because those pieces were so much better then what I post everyday on my blog. The pieces I wrote during that class were written in a way that you could actually touch, smell, and taste the story. Now I’m more factual and my pieces quickly get to the point.

I really need to get back to really writing. I still have that book I was working on last year tucked away. One day I’m going to drag it out and get back to editing it.  That is on my list of things to do next to get back to exercising/going to the gym.  These are two things that are very important to me and that I’m very passionate about. I came across my weight belt today.  It was a good reminder to get myself back on track.  (I used to be into bodybuilding. Now those were fun times. I used to spend a couple of hours in the gym every night.  I gave it up when I got married and thought it was a waste of money to pay for a gym membership when I could easily work out at home. That was a mistake.  You live and learn.) It’s not like I don’t have enough time to do all these things. I’m single and have no kids; I’m never going to have more time to do these things then now.

I know so many people who are going back to school that I’ve seriously thought about joining them and going back to school to be a writer.  It’s like listening to those infomercials. After hearing them so many times you really begin to think that your life won’t be complete without that item.  I already have a bachelors degree so it’s not like I really need to go back to school to get a degree, but I was thinking about taking some writing classes so I can improve my skills.  

I think it would be kind of fun to go back to school and be a student again. I seriously missed having fun in college. Or maybe I watch too much television or movies. But, seriously don’t they do a great job portraying college as being a blast, an endless stream of parties. When I was in college I was so focused on my schoolwork and getting done in 2 and then 4 years that I forgot to breath and have fun. Don’t get me wrong I did have some fun times. Especially at Rick’s. I’ve never dated or danced so much in my life. I picked up a passion for swing dancing, both west and east coast, and county. I loved doing all those flips and aerials.  Those were fun times. 

At the time I didn’t realize it, but I had great roommates those first two years. I really wish I could roll back time with the knowledge I have now and really enjoy living with those girls.  And OMG did I have so much time back then. It’s hard to believe that my roommate had time to bake cookies from scratch every week. We actually had time to bake potatoes in the oven, not microwave, but the oven.  

I need to work on organizing my time better. I need to go to bed earlier and get up earlier and move a little bit faster. This past week my parents visited and my mom got my gas heater working so until I get my bill I think it I will use it so I’ll be more motivated to get up earlier in the morning and get exercising.
