This, That, and Then Some

I cannot believe I have had this blog for over two years now. Of course, the last year it has been largely ignored. Not intentionally, just kinda lost interest.

So here I am again, on Thanksgiving, working overtime on my websites to revamp, restyle, and re-ignite interest and content in them. For now.

I have been focusing on writing my novels, and work has been stressful and busy. So needless to say, everything else has gotten pushed off.

Except for my drumming. That has never stopped. In fact, it has increased quite a bit. Again, I haven’t even updated my drum blog either, just left things hanging for now.

I have also deleted a LOT of old content. I wanted to start more fresh with new content, but had to leave some of the older postings up.

So, here is the new look, new directions, and new ideas. Read on!

Which I haven’t been doing. At least not on blogs.

I have been in the process of doing other creative things, like writing a book, music (my new drum band) and of course, work. I went balls out on this blog some time ago (I cannot believe it’s almost a year ago) and now it has taken a back burner to other interests. Plus the fact I kinda ran out of ideas. I know, it seems hard to do. I think part of it is that I lost some interest as well.

That sometimes happens to me. My drumming has been a constant in my life. Always will be I think. But I get interested in some things and go at it for awhile - then stop. Why?

I guess I felt as though I wasn’t contributing enough, or perhaps I wasn’t reading as many blogs as I was used to. I read a lot. But, again, my focus has been elsewhere.

I am still here, though, and I hope to add some more words here soon. Hi to everyone!

As a follow-up from the summer issue, I have always been a night-owl. Daytime work or functionality barely exists for me. I am not a morning person by any means, and do all my best work at night - sometimes very late at night.

No matter what daytime schedule I have worked, I could never get used to it. I also tend to be an insomniac, and even though I may be tired from the day, I sometimes cannot sleep. I can sleep all day, however with no problem whatsoever.

So I cope with it and drink coffee, energy drinks, and the horn of a rhinosaurus. Whatever works to keep me awake during the day!

Any other nigh owls out there? How do you deal with work and a life of night alertness?
