It’s been nearly two years since I began that next “phase” of my life and became a working young adult. For some reason, I had tons to say during that first year and posted ridiculously long Xanga entries nearly every 2-3 days. Lately though, I seem to have retreated from frequent and lengthy posts and seem to be content updating once a month. In fact, my own personal website hasn’t seen an update since March 11th!

Anyway, for the past month (or even longer), I’ve been contemplating life. What else is new? =)

Yet, whenever I’ve managed to sit in front of my computer to start typing… I blank. Like right now. My muddled thoughts are accumulating somewhere in the deep recesses of my mostly empty mind… and I can’t seem to find the catalyst that will cause those thoughts to gush out.

Haha, maybe it’s that I’ve spent too much time deep beneath the sea that the intense pressure has squished my brain and has so thoroughly compacted my thoughts that I can’t extract them. Looking at my log, in the little over three months that I’ve been diving, I’ve logged 31 separate dives totaling 1,332 minutes spent beneath the surface. And most of the dives were at depths ranging from 40 to 130 feet which means that I was experiencing anywhere from 2 to 5 atmospheres of pressure. Hmm. I wonder if there are any long term problems associated with spending so much time in high pressure enviroments? I think on my next deep dive, I’ll take a ping pong ball with me to see if it turns into a pancake at those depths! =)
