From the overwhelming email response, I still can tell that no one reads this blog. Just a quick "hey" in the comment area, people. No, it's OK, really. I am kind of shy too, sometimes.
Speaking of shyness, it is weird how I all of a sudden become super-introverted at times. By nature my job demands that I be extroverted. Business to business sales. I consult with clients about the ever changing world of work. Talk, talk, talk. Cold calls and networking events and expectation meetings and things like that. Sometimes I wonder how I do it.
Am I bipolar* when it comes to the whole "Intro" or "Extro" vert thing? Probably. Most days I can strike up conversations with absolute strangers and talk at great length.

Sometimes trying to find time to write songs is difficult. I know, I know. My wife has been telling me to set up a schedule and stick to it. I keep telling myself that I'm a creative type and love spontaneity and could never work like that. The truth is that I am a procrastinator and just sometimes lazy. I just have to make time. We'll see how the schedule goes.
Since I am on a "What is wrong with me" kick, I sometimes don't follow through and complete things. I have things I start and never get around to fin
*If you indeed are bipolar, please don't think I'm making fun of either one of you. (Sorry, couldn't resist!) I just could think of no other way to describe whatever it is that makes me, well, me.
