New year stuff.

Man I got nothing tonight, I could yell about impending nuclear apocalypse but what would be the point? Hey guys, did you know that nuclear war is... bad? Fucking hot take right there lemme tell ya.

I don't have the energy to talk about feelings or any of that shit, I can't muster up any outrage for things, hell, work was even pretty decent for once.

I have a few days off in a row starting tomorrow, that is pretty unusual, I think I am gonna try to play some Magic and maybe find a D and D group or something, I need to start seeing people in person and I don't have a ton of friends left in Portland so maybe it is time to add some new people to my circles.

That's actually a big step for me, I haven't really made new friends since high school and to be honest, I am not entirely sure how one goes about it anymore, I am sort of dubious that doing my nerd shit will find me people, gamers are actually pretty horrible by and large, and as a dude approaching his mid-30s, I am in a position of being old enough that it is sort of creepy to be hanging out with the kids. I also have to consider that adult gamers are usually even more horrible than the younger folks too, many are very set in their ways, and by that I mean they have terrible opinions and smell bad. But hey, worth a shot, at least I get out of the house for a minute.

I am trying not to worry about long term plans right now, oh they exist and I am working(sort of) on them, but worrying about it doesn't really do much except add stress and they aren't exactly rapidly developing plans or anything.

I have goals for the new year, I hesitate to say resolutions, they are more like trends I would like to get in the habit of following. Getting out more is one of them. Working seriously on one or more of my writing projects that isn't this blog is another, figuring out what my continuing education goals are is in there too, maybe I can accomplish something tangible, that would help my self esteem a little bit.

So things are generally positive I suppose. That's all for now.
