Writing what I’m thinking

Which is to say: Lookout, I’m writing and will likely say nothing!
I’m attempting to write what I think in an effort to record something meaningful and worthwhile. It’s tough not to stop after every word or sentence and think ahead to what I may write.

I think the natural breaks that people take when they speak are adequate in length to provide time for the necessary thoughts through what they should say next if they haven’t yet decided. Thinking back on that sentence, yes, it’s obvious, but I feel that to become a better speaker I need to make use of these natural pauses, such that
I need not plan the things I say to the extent I do. I believe this policy will result in me saying more embarrassing or simply incorrect things as it has in trial runs.

I thought much more about the above paragraph than it may let on. I know, I’m describing something as opposed to an attempt to type unfiltered; I’m ok with that. Recording my thoughts in words puts that limitation on this attempt, and the level of clarity I use in the things said here, represents the extent of this limitation.

Anyway...

The world seems much more manageable to me in 2010. My relationship with Sam A has been very rewarding. This summer has allowed us many opportunities, in many different places, to spend time together and I’ve enjoyed it a great deal. We are both very calm people that have a lot of fun and enjoy being in love with each other.

The world seeming more manageable may have something to my shiny new engineering diploma. I still consider myself to be in school because I don’t have a serious job. However in less than a year, it’s a safe bet that I’ll be desperately searching for a very serious job with my shiny new Master’s degree. And once I get said serious job, the second quarter of my life will be just beginning.

I like where I stand in my life. Things are good. Things could always be better and someday they might be. I imagine grad school will be very educational and will require a lot of work.

The above took around half an hour to write, setting a record in my blog. I see this post having many simple sentences.

Peace -- Mike
