This 'n' That

TRIP

I am thinking of taking a trip. I'm not sure where yet, but I know that I need to take a trip. It probably won't be too far away, but it needs to be far enough so that I am able to take a break from the ever growing bubble that we call the Bay Area. This trip that I am thinking of taking will probably be out of state and will involve me going to a place that I haven't been to before. Any suggestions?


BUDS

Lately, I've been hanging out with some great people. People that can take the time just to sit and talk while drinking a glass of wine, mulling over life. I've always been a type of person that loves to interact with others. And in this past year, I feel that that strong part of my demeanor has diminished a bit. My buds are spread far apart throughout the country, so I try to bug them a lot and interrupt them throughout their day.


DAILY GIGS

I've been trying new things, painting, writing poetry, even trying to step out of my sheltered self boundary. The thing about change and Jonathan Ruff is that they don't usually go well together. It is like they are enemies at first, they have their battles, then they work on a relationship and solidify some ways to make it a reality. I really enjoy Camera work. I love taking pictures, I just wish I knew how to get the maximum effort out of the device itself by studying it a bit more.


OBSERVANCES

I feel older. Just by living life these past few years, I feel a tad bit aged. I feel that I've matured in my life choices and ideas. As many of you know I am a diabetic and have had certain issues with being high or low with my blood sugars throughout the years. My doctors let me know through the years that blood sugars can vary on attitudes and stress levels throughout the day. I used to have Insulin reactions all of the time when I was married. (I am not blaming my marriage or the state it was in for them) I just know that I was stressed out and depressed for a lot of the 8 years in which I was married. As of today I have not had an insulin reaction since before January of 2010. I feel happy. Not as tired. Not as exhausted. I feel content.


Have you had any new thoughts on me? I know some have commented on art, writing, and the overall demeanor of me. I enjoy you reading my blog. I love your comments. To tell you the truth, you are a big reason in helping me transition to my new life. I'm trying to become a better Jonathan in all that I do. Have a wonderful day.
