Blogging (again?)

I forgot I had this thing. This blog. I recently started keeping a bullet journal as a sort of daily history and in the process I lost the doggone book. In one of my Facebook memories the link for my blog came up. I wonder if between keeping a blog and a bullet diary (if I can ever find the damn book I wrote in!) if I can maintain some sort of personal journal type thing?

Anyway, I'm reading some of the stuff I wrote back in 2012 and remembering those emotions and then recalling all of the things that have happened and things that I've done since then. I am just a normal dude, but we've been werkin' hard up in here (me and my family that is) and there's so much I still want to do.

I left active duty military, transferred to the Army reserves, moved back home (where I'm weird now because I'm FROM where I live, but I don't already have the set group of people I've been hangin' with since I was 4 because I left for 12 years so people I meet are always surprised that I don't act like a Seattleite and I actually talk to them), I got back into teaching, we bought a house, we're putting roots back into the place where we came from. I'm coaching baseball, I'm taking care of my grandparents and my uncle, I'm there for my parents. Lots of stuff goin' on!

But when I blog instead of journal, what do I write about? Politics?! I'm definitely under-qualified for that, but I still have some very strong opinions that I am encouraged NOT to share considering my military career. Religion? I started that blog several times and what it boils down to is that writing about that crap is just not worth my time. Seriously. I suggest some Richard Dawkins. He has a lot of good things to say on religion. I hear complaints about how mean he is, but have you seen peer reviews in science? They're ALL that savage! How about parenting?! Now there we go! I have two kids that are (so far) not sociopaths! My wife and I were discussing the other night how there's all this crap about how Mom's are Mothering poorly and Dad's could give two shits about someone suggesting how to parent better. I could absolutely write some sarcastic Daddin' stuff! Do like Cosmo/GQ articles for Dads. Oh man that would be funny! I bet someone's already done it!! I wonder if I need to read GQ articles to get a feel for that writing style... Good Bob I hope not. I couldn't read that blathering drivel (or... shit...).

I suppose I could write about the things I still want to do, go to more protests, act more locally in our political system, change my military career to warrant, I wonder if I could find a deployment that way? I sure as hell didn't find one as a bandsmen. What else do I want to do?

I guess I'll just mindbarf for now!
