Gathering dust


I have been really inactive in the blogging community as of late. I apologize for this, not so much for neglecting my own blog as for neglecting others'. I feel it is important to show that I am interested in my friends' lives but I have done a poor job of that as of late. This post examines why.

I haven't been particularly depressed or busy as of late. It's not that I am constantly weeping in my room or running around finding treasure and escaping danger. That being said it is also not that I haven't had things to write about at all. Jay and Valerie's wedding in particular deserves a post but I just haven't done it.

I think part of the reason for this is my recent setbacks in Ultimate. Let me explain. At the time of my last post (about a month ago) I was in the middle of training for tryouts for local club teams. These teams are competitive and fun and I was dedicating myself to making one of them. I was excited at the opportunity to improve my level of play and enjoy the upcoming club season by playing with friends. As it turns out, this would not come to pass as I was cut from all three teams I tried out for. I didn't want to complain about this or go into detail about what I needed to improve. I didn't want to talk about it at all. As such, since it was the biggest thing going on for me at the time, I didn't post. I instead just left my blog in stasis.

We also hit the end of the Spring League season. My team (pictured above) had lost only one game but managed to get screwed out of a bye at the last minute. As such, we didn't have a full roster at game time during the tournament and lost to the lowest rank team in the league. This didn't make me happy either and I didn't want to write about it at the time because it may have been just an unending stream of curses and I didn't want to have to google that for a picture.

So that's what's been going on with me. I am not depressed or hectic, just unmotivated. I apologize again for not commenting on blogs.

I offer no promises.
