Here we go again?

To be honest, this may only last one blog, but I decided I'm going to try and keep up with this again. The last two years have been bad as far as blogging goes. Most of my writing powers have been utilised to keep up with my card trading site, which even that, I haven't nearly blogged enough to make a prominent blip in the search engines. Eh, oh well. Throw it into the new years resolutions bin. I think Twitter and Facebook sort of demolished my ability to sit down and write up a blog. Funny how communication keeps getting getting compressed. I'm waiting for Twitter to be preceded by another service that only allows their users to type 75 characters worth of thought. Sometimes it's all you need.

 

Winter usually takes a toll on my ol' morale, but this year I'm pretty pumped. I decided I'm going to kick the frack out of February and get some stuff done (Febuary is my arch-nemesis as far as months go). Sounds like we are going to have a few trips this month which include the Cities next week, to see friends and go to artsy shiz. The week after that is Schell's Bock Fest in New Ulm. I am totally pumped to check that out, looks like a blast.

 

In the last half year, I've started brewing beer at home. I've done two batches so far and will probably do another batch tonight. Beer is a ton of fun for me. I generally like to cook (maybe even love, on occasion) and beer making is basically cooking. Drinking it is always fun, too. :-) I'm still getting the basics of cooking it down, but eventually I'd love to start making my own recipes and the likes. Since I started brewing, local brewers have peaked my interest. I'm planning on visiting a few breweries this year to see their setups.

 

I'm still doing Tae Kwon Do. I received my second degree black belt in December. I passed on my first try, which I'm thankful for. It was a very rewarding test and now my name's embroidered on my belt, which is pretty fancy, if I do say so. The adult class as a bunch of fun people in it right now. Can't go wrong!

 

I think I'm mainly excited for the new decade in general. I can't wait to see what's going to happen, where we are going to go,

what new things I will experience, everything. I will turn 30 this decade. That feels a little weird. 

 

BTW, Peewee's Playhouse started up again. :-)
