choices

so instead of going to the all day into night outdoor concert that closes off downtown Deland, FL from about noon till midnight or later, i went to a classical chorus concert with the roommates as Precious wanted to see her best friend in the high school honors chorus of Florida cuz he was featured twice as part of a quartet... it wasn't bad at all, if you are into classical and religious choral singing (Jewish songs, I believe... a whole lot of adunoys, or adonoise, with a long harmonized aaaaamennnnnn at the end)... the kid is great (her best friend, who does have a name in this blog, but i forget what it is at the moment)... the choral teachers consider him one of the best baritones in the state... he is great at musical theatre, though i haven't heard him try anything outside of that or the classical realm...

after the concert we went for pizza and ices and then home as Rasputin works kind of night shift {2am to 11am or so} and needed to get to sleep (he was up way past his bedtime as it was as he's usually asleep by late afternoon and often nodding off on the couch by 2pm... so following his schedule for social life leaves me with none but him and Precious and here we are on another Saturday, home on the web)...

yeah, i can still head out now, but i'm thinking let the college football on the TV try to generate some testosterone (hey, i'll try anything) and motivation in me as i babble on a bit and try to talk myself into doing some exercise tonight for a change since i've been eating salad all week and splurged on pizza and carbs today and if i don't want to slide back and undo a whole week of salads, then exercise is necessary... alone again, naturally...

there's this meetup group that does some early morning running, but driving a half an hour or more to run at 5 or 6am is probably not going to happen... if they were a few minutes away, it might, but fitting an hour a day of exercise into each day is doing good for me... adding an hour or more of drive time just doesn't work for me... or for the seats of my car, for that matter (i perspire a lot, profusely, even... i know, you just had to know that, dincha)...

besides, i've got babbles galore piling up in my babble files (many months worth, actually) and the least i can do is keep the entry-a-day pace up here even if i continue neglecting the behind the candoor world of the babbler... speaking of DLand, though, i did stop back over there this week for a bit to say hello to a few (not enough, but a few) of the great people i miss from there... this month were two of my favorite people's birthdays (dandy and moo and of course i had to go rile up ol' smash, as you might have noticed)...

as i said, there are many others i miss and a few i wish were closer from over there, but our online habits often keep us browsing the same sites and not stepping out to others, so my habit of wandering around online obviously keeps most people from following me around and i understand and appreciate you guys who reach out wherever i am babbling all the more... being multifaceted can be a detriment to online bonding, but then, I'm not gonna pretend i am not or limit my babbling just to fit in and attract attention... i'll attract attention (or not) in my own odd ways, thank you :)

for me and those like me (and there must be at least one, i mean, what are the odds?), the choices are the fascination of life... and i love continuing to provide myself (and my creative muses and peanut gallery and kids in the head) and you choices as i create my different web spaces...

so we make our choices and we live with them and if we don't like them, we change them or we get miserable... i'm not miserable yet and i'm definitely changing at my slightest whims (at least from my perspective, but then, i could be wrong as i only see things through my eyes, after all)... so tonight i choose the usual pattern, mostly, i think, because i have not written or posted much this week and i have gobs of words piling up in me... so it's the same old loop with my roommates that adds nothing new to social life and continues the lazy sedentary eat-and-sleep habits (and not eating healthy at that), rather than going out by myself with hope of meeting more like-me people with healthier, more active interests and habits...

and now, or soon, probably, unless i get distracted by my web surfing or something else (like a new friend or neighbor knocks on the door and changes life forever... or is that just the movies... butterflies are free, after all), i'll be popping entries into the missing dates during the past week (yeah, as i often do, as if they were always there) and for anyone hanging out at home tonight, you'll have something to read (and hopefully enjoy)... it's fun, if lonelier than some fun, still fun...

hope life is fun for you too :)
