Original Thoughts .... or the lack thereof

I have a minute, so I sit down to go ahead and think of something inspiring to include in The Journey.. Why?? Because I’ve tried to refrain from blogging about the zit on my chin or commenting about someone who cut in line in the express checkout at WalMart the other day or sharing the fact that I’m watching Kill Bill Part 1.. I’m not sure why I withhold that – except that I try to keep The Journey above the trivial.. I’ve tried to blog about issues, thoughts and meanderings that have come across My path from time to time.. But what happens when I find Myself at a loss of anything new?? Right when I think: “ah, I’ll blog about this” I dig and ultimately find it somewhere in My archive…

So much for an original thought.. Drat!!

And I decided a long time ago that I didn’t want The Journey to be a full-fledged fodder-fest either.. I could keep writing ”The Inside series” as I have about all things kinky and erotic – but I’m not sure I want the direction of The Journey to go that way.. Because ultimately The Journey just isn’t about sharing your fantasies and dreams, but also how we cope with the realities that surround us.. The Journey is an extension of our website -- Within Reality.com because we strive to keeping things real..

Yet when I think about my typical day – it’s really a culmination of work, work, work, some incredibly wonderful kinky thoughts scattered in between bills, errands, break, phone calls, eat, napping, and more work work work.. That is My reality.. To those that can live the lifestyle completely and totally – without interruption from the realities of the world on a continual day-to-day basis, you have My deepest envy..

But that’s not My original thought for this post..

Ultimately I don’t want to repeat what I’ve already typed out – it’s redundant and unless I’m offering a change in My opinion or stance – who wants to read the same crap over again?? So when I try to look for things to blog about – nothing seems really compelling.. One reason is the common stance I take on the lifestyle and bdsm related issues: to each their own - loosely translates that as long as the parties are informed, aware and consenting – it doesn’t really matter what you do..

I have been tempted though to call out certain bone-headed things I’ve read about on the news or in some of the group lists.. But even as I try to find an original thought in there … I find that I’ve already blogged about it in one form or another.. Again – it’s redundant.. Have I become redundant??

*sighs*

I know this is probably just a phase … but there are times that I look into the blog-verse and seriously wonder what else I could add to it..

Gas Prices Are Yucky...

I haven't blogged in quite a long time -- mainly because things have been so incredibly busy around here the last couple of months.. Gas prices have zapped us pretty good so we spend a great deal of our time doing work here and consolidate our trips more efficiently.. Unfortunately no day trips which saddens both of us.. Mind you - we're paying substantially less than in other parts of the country - and to our dear friends who are paying more for gas - you have My deepest sympathies..

We've also started watching the NBC show "Heroes" lately.. We're hooked and what's really sad is that long before we even watched the very first episode -- we both thought: "we're going to get hooked ya' know..." I think we were both trying to look for reasons not to be hooked .... but we are.. It's hard not to like Hiro -- and being a trekkie and a geek resonates well with Me.. The intertwining plot lines so far in season 1 are really cool.. It'll no doubt be a "keeper" when they go on sale..

For whatever reason though -- I feel like I'm in a lifestyle drought right now.. Nothing is particularly compelling or spellbinding.. Nothing is particularly noteworthy or interesting right now.. Maybe it's being so busy and overwhelming that there isn't enough room to contemplate things right now.. We both need a vacation - but I'm not sure that's even on the radar..

That's it for now though..
