that sucks....I know that I lost any and all my friends from high school when I graduated....I went to the local community college and made new friends....but nobody was really a friend...they were drug drinking people that I put before any classes or anything else....I have changed that now but it is pretty boring sitting alone at home with nothing to do...my business is slow right now and I am conserving gasoline as it costs money to drive places....I do have a meetup tonight to go to....it is euker night....

There's always something to do, even in the dead of winter, even if it's just taking a walk. I used to live in CO for 6 years and the winters were brutal, with blizzards and such. I found myself addicted to filmmaking, which at the time was shooting on Super 8mm movie film and editing the developed film on a splicer block. Those darkest, loneliest times were also my most feverishly creative. I was alive with the fire, the passion, of ideas for storytelling. Now I live in the tropics and I think the heat and humidity have sogged my brain for storytelling. I still like photography though, and music, anything in the arts really, that force me to think creatively, not merely accept the status quo that I see on TV, but attempt to improve on it.

I like koolman's idea about doing something creative. If you don't finish what you start, go back to it later. I am actually feeling more energy since I started taking supplements and now I actually WANT to start getting some exercise. Our town's middle school has swim sessions open to the public so we are looking in to that. You might want to check into that yourself. If nothing else, splash around for a while to get your body moving.
