Simple small steps they said. And so it is that I'm taking small steps everyday. I'm wondering what I'll be blogging about today. As you've probably noticed, I've not been able to get into the habit of blogging. It seems rather pointless as I'm not even sure who reads this anyway. All in all, I guess it's just a place for me to rant on about nothingness.

This is me.

Picture this, I'm sitting in my room listening to Billy Joel - Piano man while sipping my 12 year Chivas whiskey from a mug. Horrid sight I bet but to make things worst I'm in a pink shirt (the only one I have mind you) and black shorts.

My day's been pretty monotonous. It was work, hectic work which reminds me, I've not finished yet so I'll most likely be working again after I'm done with this. Life's getting pretty dull without a girlfriend around. Well, yes, of course I am still with Shino and I very well will be till my last breath but for the moment she is not beside me again. To stick to the tradition, it'll be another 15 days till I see her again. That apart, let's write about something else today eh.

The big hype over the final Harry Potter book is still going on. I figured this out since I drove my sister to Tesco yesterday to get her copy and I read a friend's blog today about Potter Potter Potter.

?

Blankness. I try to write what I'm thinking as it comes along without actually thinking about writing (if that makes sense) and right now I'm thinking why people write blogs.

Oh heck, I guess I can't help it, let's talk about my icky soppy feelings again. The past few days have been taxing. I find myself strangely demotivated and compelled to ask myself over why why and why do we have to wait. Everything would be picture perfect is she was here with me but instead I find myself wondering about the current state of my life. What's that? Well, the current state of my life goes a little something like this. Wake up, clean up, work, have lunch, work, have dinner, talk to Shino, sleep, repeat. The occasional dinner with people helps to keep the social person in me satisfied. Still, it's a wonder how I've survived so far. To have a girlfriend and yet not be with her. Technically I still see her everyday. So let's move into the next topic. Physicallity (if there's such a word).

I find that being physically together is an important part of a relationship. Even though the heart is fed with emotions, having your partner beside you is equally important. Of course not every single second of the day but it is nice to come home from work to hugs and kisses and just someone to talk to (althought technically we do talk everyday). In any case, life just doesn't seem complete. Don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to physical intimacy (although that is just as important) but rather the company and companionship that a relationship should bring with it. It's more of the comfort and security that comes with having the person you love beside you. I am thankful however to the lackof the above as I know in the long run it'll turn out better. Being able to experience, what should I call it, Shino-deficiency has helped me understand the importance of appreciating the precious time we have together. Not just now but in the future too. Life is short. However, I can't help but wonder.. have I not learnt enough? Have I not had my share of loneliness yet? And here I am whining and groaning and yet everything that has happened so far should have taughtt me to always keep a positive outlook. Negativity is like a disease. It spreads and it spreads fast.

Enough of my rambling today then. Let's get cracking at doing more work.
