At Last, Existential Clarity

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Hi blog. I’m sorry I’ve been ignoring you. I don’t really have a good excuse, except that life happened.

But you’ll be happy to hear that while I haven’t been reporting on my gardening, I’ve still been doing a lot of it. The nice thing about gardens is that once they’re started, they basically take care of themselves. So my “gardening” has been more watchful and supportive than active or determinate.

It’s been wonderful to watch these young lives thrive and stretch in just a few weeks. Plants really have an amazing single-focus existence: eat nutrients, absorb sunlight, grow taller. They’re totally focused and (seemingly) completely fulfilled.

Hah. Good for them.

I feel bad about falling down on my blogging, you guys. And it seems like I could be doing a lot more with my life in general. What the hell am I doing with a full-time job that keeps me busy 40-50 hours a week and never fulfills any of MY real goals? Where am I going in this crazy ship called life, anyway? I don’t want to settle ever, let alone when I’m under 30!

*sigh* Let’s look at happy pictures of cats.

See? Adorable.

You are small and round. Clearly you are a toy.
Seems like I fulfilled somebody’s expectations at least.

Mine.
Clearly designed for the discerning feline.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I see. It all makes sense now.

I do have a purpose after all, and it seems my life has fulfilled its ultimate goal: eco-friendly cat toys.

Look for more success stories in coming weeks.
