Being Content With The Mundane

One of the biggest things I’m dealing with right now…

is the silence. the routine of “normal” life.

I just can’t seem to get into it. Even though I want to get up at the same time each day, I don’t. Even though I want to cook more for myself, get out more, call friends more, I don’t.

Being content with normalcy

An outsider looking in on my life would probably say, “wow. you’re really busy, doing some really neat work. how exciting!”

And it’s true. I am busy. I am working on cool stuff. I also work from home, which most of the time is 100% awesome.

I cannot deny that I am incredibly blessed.

And while I am excited for the future, the present feels a little boring. I think a part of me still longs for the “rush” that I used to get staying up ’til all hours of the night trading. I do miss that excitement. I have no desire to trade like that again, don’t worry! But I do wonder if I could fine a healthy way to come close to that rush again.

Until I do, or if that never happens, I need to be more “content with the mundane” as I say in the title. Content with being a grown up and accepting that it may take me more than a year (!!) to fix this mess that I am in.

Casey Serin is back. Oh dear

So, I noticed Mr. Infamous himself Casey Serin started following my twitter feed. He is back to blogging again at truecasey.com.

Casey contacted me a few months back about some short sale stuff. I just don’t understand him. His story is so fascinating to watch, you can’t help but wonder what mistake he will make next. Still, part of me wants him to succeed and realize the potential he has. I dunno, I feel bad that he lost his wife over his mistakes, but that’s life. When you do stupid things, there are consequences.

His story does make me glad that I am single. I already hurt my Mom with my past misdeeds, I am glad that I didn’t hurt a wife as well.

Speaking of ladies and the mundane

I am back to square zero with any lady friends. The two women I had my eye on both politely turned down my outing (date) ideas. Their loss…right? (or so my mother tells me)

It’s not a bad place to be really, it allows me to focus on work stuff. But I really wouldn’t mind a date or two someday…

More on my mistakes

I poured myself into what turned out to be a pretty nice post over at Lending Club about my 7 biggest business mistakes. I’ll probably write a follow up on the 7 things I’ve done right, next week. Come to think of it, if you like the article, I’d appreciate a thumbs up on stumbleupon for it!
