It's amazing how quickly things can change, and then be forgotten. Considering how much I love to write you'd think I'd spend more time on this blog instead of only the three posts that I've managed to throw up since I've started the dang thing. But alas, by the time I finish my day job and go to practice and any volunteer activities I may have scheduled, it's hard to find the time or the energy to put pen to pad, or in this case, fingers to keyboard to compose a new story, or anything else. I know writing is like a muscle and like anything it has to be worked and flexed if it is going to be of any use. So why not flex it? I flex regularly in practice, and do other things to try to expand my knowledge on trivia and random factoids, but as my friend Monica told me a while ago, why don't I keep doing those things that I do? Karate and writing. That's what I do. (I'd like to add guitar in there, but that's just me).

So it has me thinking that I might be a little lazy. I mean I have these three things that I really enjoy, but I only put a cursory effort into doing them. Well let me rephrase that. I put a lot of effort into Karate. Guitar comes in at a very distant number 2 and writing even further behind that at number 3. (now maybe i'm some kind of masochist, because these three things are very hard to get down. Karate in terms of the physical side, guitar I'm teaching myself, and writing, well let's just say I have very exacting standards, but I digress).

This most recent time I was in Japan, I was told I should pick up my CPA. But if I can barely make time to do the things I really enjoy, how on earth am I going to the things that are WORK I should be doing to get the better life thing going? I hope the idea of Kanako come is going to keep me going cause if not, I'm in trouble, and I need to get myself Motivated and keep sprinting. I guess I could always just stop sleeping...
