Back to Blogging

So I'm back to blogging. I need an outlet for all the heat that I've been generating through burning all this creative and productive energy in the last year.

Four major developments have occurred in my life:

1 - I've finally moved on to 100% self employment. My company has gotten off to a good start and things are really ramping up lately. Marqx Creative Communications has spawned off an entertainment photography company: TdotSPOT. More to come later on...

2 - I discovered that my high expectations in finding the woman I want to be with can indeed be met! My ideal woman does exist and just like exoplanets which were initially thought to be rare, these are in fact plentiful. I found her but as it turns out, women are really as complicated as legend has it.
I found a woman who shares similar goals, who's independently ambitious, who's optimistic and who lives a positive life.
We instantly connected which led to a rapid series of events that took us full circle from being crazy for one another to realizing that the exact same recipe of ingredients that attracted us to one another also made us incompatible (for now). Dedicating time to another person interferes with our ambitious and goal oriented nature.

3 - I found the perfect loft! However, I'm not prepared just yet to make the big move. Luckily, the characteristics that I love so much in this loft can be found throughout the city in other lofts.
I'm now looking to move into a loft in 2008 and make it both my home and my photo studio. Within the coming months, I'll be setting the conditions for home ownership and then putting down an offer on a loft by June '08.

4 - Ever since moving out on my own, I've been dealing with a pestering procrastination problem which has grown into an outright health disorder. My childhood Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has been resurfacing as Compulsive Avoidance (chronic procrastination).
I've seen health professionals and have even been coerced into taking medication, but my true diagnosis came as a result of many years of self examination and getting to know myself.
I've realized that by avoiding certain states of mind, I can avert my compulsive avoidance.
• Hunger
• Tiredness
• Anger
• Loneliness
Either one of these four, with a large emphasis on the last, trigger an almost zombie like state of mind impeding me from being productive. In fact, I can spend an entire day thinking of doing something but getting nothing done at all.
The next step is learning how to automatically change direction after falling into one of those states. It won't be easy, but at least I know what I need to do.

Each of these points deserve a blog post of their own and they'll probably be addressed again in upcoming posts.

In a single post though, that's what's been going on in my life for the last year or so. I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts here more frequently from now on.
