stuff and montreal

wow, it has been a while since i’ve updated. and even longer since I put a real meaty post up. I guess i got really caught up in the day to day. and the few big things i can’t really post about.

sigh. it feels like i’ve just finished mentally sprinting for the past couple weeks – lots of thoughts running through my mind but having to just focus on the immediate tasks at hand to get through – but i think i’m through it now.

actually, in thinking about recapping, i realize i still can’t really talk about anything. no wonder i’m not updating anything. well I can say this much i’m planning on coming back to montreal on the dec 19th and probably staying for 4 weeks. can’t wait to be back. i think i’ve been waiting since I left chase to come back and have a really long stay… that was 2 months ago.

sitting on the fence

i’m really not sure what my long term plans are yet – i think i’ve hit a big fork in the road with too many choices. i don’t think i’ll be anywhere permanently, montreal, columbus or elsewhere. i do know i will try hard not to jump into any situations right now. i’m in this position where i can’t commit to anything; in fact i’m in the exact position, i want stop for a bit and really carefully think about my next moves. sometimes its good to just sit on the fence… you can see farther from there.

i’ll try not to stop for too long. i’m aware that indecision is something i already tend to have too much of. i think i’ll timebox myself; give myself 3 months to stay here. that sounds like a good start. i gotta make a few lists of what i want to do in the next year and 4 years (will try to put those up). and most importantly, i think i need to experiment with more stuff. i’ve done all the thinking i can do. i want to spend a couple months in san francisco, i want to go all over europe, i want to find something that really motivates me. i’ve been really lucky in too many ways to be in this position and i feel like i’d be wasting it if i dont fully take advantage of it. So,

1. 3 months
2. make list of todos
3. do.

seems simple enough. thoughts?
