god, i hate this.

but i inevitably do it about once a month or so.  it’s that blog post that you write when you’ve been too busy or too uninspired or too WHATEVER to blog.  the blog has no meaning or substance.  it’s just filler to let you know i’m still alive.  so, i apologize in advance.

this time around the excuse is “too busy”.  at some point, i think i should have realized that trying to work a busy advertising agency job and running a small record label out of your apartment would be a total time vampire.  between those two things, i feel like i barely have time for anything else.  tonight i intentionally took it easy and watched half of inglourious basterds and the state of the union with bill.  it was nice, but it didn’t exactly solve my problems.

so we’ve got the job and the record label.  then on top of that we’ve got this blog, which i definitely don’t want to start neglecting.  then there’s the fact that i’ll have DJed three times this month which is way more than usual, and while it’s been fun, there’s definitely a lot of prep time involved as well.  on top of all of this, we’ve got kenny moving out of the apartment, lindsey moving in, me feeling like i gotta clean the whole place so it’s a fresh start when she gets here, then the fact that i want to buy a kitten once lindsey settles in.  SHIT!  i need to slow it down!  today i commented that i need to make going to the gym more of a priority.  WHEN?!  during what non-existent remaining hours?!

today, rather than come up with a meaningful way to manage my time and responsibilities, i decided i could de-stress by unfollowing people on twitter.  while i don’t think it had much of an impact, it felt amazing.  there were a ton of people who follow me that i followed back, but we never interacted or had any kind of meaningful dialogue, nor did it seem either of us were doing anything that was interesting to the other.  so i bailed.  and it felt great.  i only axed 15 or so people that i haven’t even met in real life, but even that little cut made a difference.

so hopefully tomorrow, i’ll make another small incremental change to help slow the craziness down.  hopefully not to twitter, but to something in my real life.

wish me luck!
