Life is...

To be alone is to be different, to be different is to be alone.
- Suzanne Gordon

Life can be boring. That's just how it goes sometimes. Heck, that's how it goes a great deal of the time. It's something about life we just have to expect. One just has to realize that routines get made, ruts get dug, the things that once seemed new and interesting are transformed into the norm. I, for one, do not wish for my life to be simply rountine. So, how is one to deal with this tendency of life? First one has to accept and understand that that's just the way life is. Then the fun part begins: one must find ways to make life less dull, boring, and monotonous. This is accomplished in multiple different ways but the best way is to spend time with friends and family. Get out, enjoy life, be yourself. That's the way I would prefer to make my life more interesting than it is.

Unfortunately this has become a problem where I currently am. I do not have any friends in Chattanooga. Yeah, I like it here, but without friends to do stuff with everything that Chattanooga has to offer is a little less enjoyable. Every friday the city holds a free concert in downtown. It's a great little gathering; good music, good food, lots of people, I couldn't ask for a better thing to do on Friday night. Unfortunately I have to go alone. I simply have nobody to go with. The music groups have been amazing though. Last week we had a group called Screaming Orphans perform. They are a group of four Irish sisters who play pop, rock, and traditional Irish music. They are amazing. If you want to hear some of their music you can find their CD on iTunes or you can go online to www.myspace.com/screamingorphans. But, without friends to share the experience with, it isn't quite as interesting. It's also not as fun seeing movies by myself either. I have different tastes than the rest of my family when it comes to movies. So, a lot of the stuff I want to see my family simply has no interest in. So, I see movies by myself. Again, without somebody to discuss the movie with after it's over or at least having a familiar person sitting next to me during the flick really detracts from the enjoyment of a movie.

Now, I'm not depressed or anything about all of this. Don't get me wrong. I am enjoying life. My job is amazing, Chattanooga is a wonderful city, and the people around me are interesting (not friend material, but interesting). All I'm saying is that I'm a bit lonely. I wish I had people to enjoy life with. I'm sure a few of you might be feeling the same way I am. So, you understand where I'm coming from.

I'm also not complaining about my life. This is not me complaining. This is simply me getting this off my chest. This is simply me writing down the feelings I've been having as of late. Some of you might be thinking that I should try doing something about my loneliness. And, truthfully, I have tried. Not very hard, mind you, but I've tried. I tried finding clubs and organizations in the area to do things with. I looked for an anime club, I looked for a go club, and I looked for a fencing club. The only one of those three that actually exists in the area is the fencing club. I haven't followed through with it though. I work so much that when I'm not working I just want to hang around at home. Fencing hasn't been on my mind. That and I'm not sure if the fencing club would really be much of a source of friends anyway. I expect it's mostly middle-aged adults in the club. Granted, I haven't actually been there to know, it's just what I'm expecting. I can probably do more to alleviate my loneliness, but I haven't really been that incredibly motivated until recently. It's a weird predicament to be in, I'll give it that. I am enjoying my summer, but I am looking forward to getting back to school in August if for nothing else than a return to a place where the stucture of my social life includes more than one person.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you have. I'm sorry I don't have much other than this to post on. Not a whole lot has gone on in my life that is really worth posting on. I'm also sorry I haven't been going to anybody's sites. I really have no excuse for that. Sorry. I hope you all have a great day and I'll see ya 'round TheO! Sayonara!
