Writer's Block

For almost two months now I have been remiss in my blogging duties. I don't know what explanation I can give except I found myself stalling in the hustle and bustle of my daily existence. Although not that busy, I was sandwiched between a backlog in household errands and chores, taking care of my son, looking into repairs in the abode, among others.

I celebrated my birthday a bit quietly, I just had my friends for dinner and that made my 32nd year. I told myself, I gotta be 32 flavors and then some. Some more passion with what I really dream of accomplishing in my life, some more time with myself, some more time with the Lord, some more peace of mind. Very wise wish if I may say.

For the time that I had a writer's block or lack of topic to write about, I come to work each day mindless of time, usually idle and running out of something valuable to do. Then I discovered there is really more to browsing the web, it seemed entertaining because now one can watch an entire movie online. From TV series to documentaries, even old flicks are all there. Name it, they have it. And there are tons of sites to be able to see these films. But that's another discovery of mine. This month, there is a handful of season premieres to watch out for, Grey's Anatomy Season 4, Ugly Betty Season 2 and Private Practice Pilot Season. I love watching these shows.

Because of the web, I also became sort of a "psychosomatic" individual (but I fear this because it might turn me into a phobe freak). Everytime I felt something was aching here and there, I would look up for causes of these so-called symptoms attempting to find a specific medical condition. And I'm telling you, this is where I encountered terminologies like "plantar fasciitis" or "myocardial ischemia" or "gastro esophageal reflux disorder"....and the list goes on. It is highly educational indeed.

Then for most of my free time I learn songs in Portuguese, Brazilian, Spanish, and French. I realized I should have taken up Foreign Languages in college instead. Songs that are hard to sing are the ones that put my in my element, giving me a different perspective, a very worldly perspective of things. Right now, I am learning to sing "One Note Samba" performed in Portuguese by Astrud Gilberto and "Samba De Mon Couer Qui Bat," a French cut by Coralie Clement from the soundtrack of Something's Gotta Give.

Then entered my interest in this DVD collection I saw one time in home tv shopping. The Hip Hop Abs is a different kind of exercise series. The trainor is Shaun T teaching weight loss buffs to groove to the hip hop sounds and swear by its engagement principle "tuck, tilt, tighten." I am now on my second week with hopefully getting the dream abs. I sure was a groovy dancer in my twenties but then again, so help me God with these workouts.
