ToysRUs

After partly drafting another slightly more aimless post, I happened to glance at the clock on the other side of the bed and see the time. And it occurs to me that regardless of whether I want to or not, I'll probably never actually grow up and do the things that adults are supposed to do. Like go to bed at a reasonable hour when I need to get up and go to work in the morning. Instead, I'll play my newly purchased RockSmith game until 11:30 pm, order an electric guitar (so I can learn that in addition to bass), then shuffle around getting ready for bed and then decide that I want to write a blog post so it doesn't look like I started a blog for no reason again.

Of course the lack of adult characteristics isn't universal. I have a house and a mortgage (a word which I can frighteningly spell without having to think about it now) and technically I do have a husband now (though nothing about our relationship changed on the day we tied the proverbial knot other than our tax return... dolla dolla bills, ya'll). I have a couple car payments and 401K. But most of the time, I tend back to the same "childish" vices and tendencies I've had since I was in middle school, like staying up late, sleeping all day and generally doing things that are fun instead of things that are productive. And none of these things are bad things. Just not "adult" as I always pictured it growing up.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll hit a point in my life where going to bed at 10 feels right and getting up before noon on the weekends is a thing that happens. Sometimes I wish that it would happen so I don't lay awake until 3:30 on a Sunday night/Monday morning. That way I might be on time to work on Monday morning instead of rolling in at 9:30 and knowing I need to stay late. Maybe that will happen one day... but more than likely, I'll end up doing this for the rest of my life: deciding at midnight that there's still so much that I want to do with my day and I don't wanna go to bed just yet. Just let me get that last song in on RockSmith. Let me get that last blog post done. Let me post one more picture of the dogs on Facebook. Let me get one more level in Star Trek Trexels. (Oh hells yeah, they fixed my game today and I've got all 7 of my crewmen to work with again. Woot woot!)


ps- This may or may not have made sense; this is a blog and I'm honestly just rambling at this point in time. Maybe more structured posts will come in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The only really neat thing about this post is that I wrote it on my ZAGG keyboard for my iPad that I haven't used in nearly a year and it still had battery power. Technology blows my mind.
