\nLife Review – 2\/22\/2000<\/strong><\/p>\n \nPeriodically, I do a full review of everything I do in life. Every little thing. I then rate those things on an evaluative scale: like, dislike, indifferent.<\/p>\n Examples would be like this…..<\/p>\n Like: Reading OD, messing around on the computer, being on the air<\/p>\n Dislike: Doing Dishes, thinking about my psycho ex girlfriend, watching Kathie Lee, doing my taxes<\/p>\n Indifferent: Brushing my teeth, paying bills.<\/p>\n I then try to cut out the things I don’t like, and don’t absolutely need to do. Normally, I can hit upon some things I’m doing that I don’t like, and are really holding me back in life. I haven’t been able to find anything certain in this round.<\/p>\n So why am I in such a funk?<\/p>\n Why do I feel like I’m having so little success?<\/p>\n Why can’t I, for the life of me, find a girlfriend?<\/p>\n Sorry for the bitching, but I’m a bit frustrated right now.<\/p>\n I was twenty when I wrote that.

\nI haven’t done much in the way of life reviews since about my thirtieth birthday. \u00a0To paraphrase someone, the die is cast. \u00a0(Yes, I know who it is….)
\nLikes: \u00a0actually building things, spending time with my wife, eating good food, drinking good drinks, trying to follow football and baseball.
\nDislikes: \u00a0working to just stay above water, MS (and all its negative effects on me), the segment of the population for whom politics has replaced religion.
\nIndifferent: \u00a0There’s too many to list, really. \u00a0(And, no, that doesn’t mean I’m really depressed…just that I don’t really get excited or depressed about mundane things.)
\nChanges are happening in my life, whether I’m ready for them or not. \u00a0I fully expect something by the time I finish up this round of writing (20 August). \u00a0Whatever those changes entail, I’m good with.
\nThings are better than when I wrote this two years ago. \u00a0Worse than last year, but I was getting frustrated with what I was doing.
\nI am getting back into things that I really do enjoy, though. \u00a0Rediscovering that which made me me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
