why? why not?

so here i am, starting this little blog to record my day's doings. feeling like i want to do too many things at once, and in the end it seems i get not much done, from trying to get a stab at everything. (hence this blog, as another awesome little distraction - but it is the journey and not the destination sometimes)

::so here's a little background::

i left my steady job a few short weeks ago, and in the meantime have been:
a) catching up on lots of sleep (i realized that i naturally wake up at 10 am!)
b) have been attempting to get crafty with the solder gun and have in the process discovered metals/wires/early attempts at jewelry, or rather bit sculputral things, but considerably scaled down
c) have discovered the floating pool in brooklyn bridge park, and their 9 am swim sessions
d) have been going to lots of free events in nyc: movie screenings, concerts, art, outdoor activities, etc.
e) ah, yes, made attempts to finally set up my website, v 2.0 (i'm still working on that)
f) portfolio updates
g) attempted to sew
h) volunteer dog walker for a no-kill animal shelter in bkln
i) ride the bike (including the first ever mostly successful attempt to change a tube - tube was fine, it's now the bike chain that has become loose after the wheel went back on the frame)
j) see friends
k) read lots of design / neighborhood / environmental blogs
l) as well as read lots of nytimes online
m) read many many many books
n) and films from netflix (it all started again bc of dan and the secret)
o) find love (does that even exist? not so sure)
p) figure out what i want to do with myself, meaning how to settle on 1 thing out of so many

there's about 50 other things to add to the list, will go over them another time.

sometimes i have a feeling of being suspended on time and space, a feeling i'm familiar with through scuba diving, only in a more exotic/foreign setting
