Deschanel, Bones, and Resolutions

Words or phrases coming to mind: Lap. Three's company. Sandwich. Giggity.

I'm having issues. Yeah, yeah, don't speak up all at once. Bitches. So yeah, I'm having the post-holiday blues. I'm not really sad about anything more than usual. I'm just finding it a bit hard to get going again with work. I'm not behind on anything, just not at my usual badass like Christian Slater in the movie Pump Up the Volume level.

Who is to blame for this that is definitely not me? I nominate my current fascination which is completely not creepy with Zooey and Emily Deschanel (pictured above). Specifically, I've really gotten into the show Bones. Think of a version of CSI that doesn't take itself so seriously, has genuine chemistry among the cast (especially between Deschanel and the great David Boreanaz of Buffy fame) and doesn't have a douchetard like David Caruso and his overacting.

You see, TV on DVD is both from God and from the devil. Sure, its genius lies in the fact that you can watch an entire TV series in a shorter period of time without commercial interruption. But I'm beginning to wonder if that's truly how God intended it. I'm about halfway through season two and I'm completely sucked in. To the point that until I finish it, I'm indifferent to most of what's going on outside my apartment. To the point that I don't find getting out for much more than a trip to the YMCA means much to me right now. To the point where I have no point.

Pro: Like a good book, I can get lost in another world and distracted from my own.

Con: Life is passing me by outside.

Rob: Outside of my friends, I don't feel like there's much to miss right now. That kind of indifference is of great comfort to me. It is also of great concern because of what it may say about me. Hmmmm...

I promise, I'm angling at being a better man this year. I just want to finish the three seasons I have on DVD first and then I'll get right to it all. Then I'll get to all those resolutions I made. I asked God for more wisdom, especially concerning the hard choices I feel I'll need to make soon about certain people in my life. I am working on letting go of my bitterness and cynicism about women as they relate to relationships. That attitude helped me to become self-reliant after a life-altering breakup, but it no longer serves much of a purpose and only keeps people away. And I want to become great at my job, learn to play the guitar, maybe learn Spanish. I'll get around to all of it right after I'm caught up with Bones. I promise and swear to Jesus Santa. The great potential self-improvements of humanity are always just one more distraction away, right?

And finally, my "Just 2 Guyz" are back with "We Like Sportz". Giggle.
