My "Latest" Obsession

These are my latest obsession. Weird, since I am almost always obsessed with shoes (and luggage...but that is for another time and blog). And also because I just got them last night—way too soon for my unnatural attachment to them. The other awesome thing is the fact that these are leather boot-sneaks from Converse. Yep, that's right, Converse.

I got these bad boys with some extra Christmas cash (thank you, Groupon and Empower Software) and couldn't be happier with a pair of shoes. I know it sounds all "woman-y", but I've been feeling out just as much over my Blu-ray player, iPad and iPhone. So, back off!

On another note, my wife will soon start her own blog and I'm sure I'll be mentioning the other (and hopefully amusing) side of her foray into her own iLife. Not that she won't be amusing on her own, quite the contrary. But, I'm sure she'll leave some of the fun stuff out. And that's what I hope to catch.

So, that's what's going on right now. As for the shoes, go get tour own, these are all mine.

Back in the Saddle Again...Again

Aloha.

We all know what it means. We've heard it a gazillion times. In Hawaii, aloha means hello and farewell at the same time. John and Paul made it sound better with "Hello, Goodbye", but I'll just stick with, aloha. And I really mean that.

I said all of that to say this...this isn't the first time I've done this—taken a break from blogging. Taken a looooooooong break from blogging. About two years, to be exact. I really need to stay on top of things, but it's just too easy to get out of a habit, especially when most of the things I "say" anymore ends up fitting into a nice 140 character or less snippet for all of my followers in Twitter/Facebook-land to see.

Perhaps this will be a new start or era or just another interruption in a long string of non-blogs that have spanned the past two or three years of my online life. In the immortal words of Pooh, "Oh, bother!".

For now, let us call it what it is...I'm here, blogging, and hopefully, someone—anyone, is reading. If not, all I've done is littered the information highway with just a few more ones and zeroes. And maybe a fun, coherent thought or three.

No promises. No commitments. I'll say something else when (or even if) I ever get around to it again. I guess this is the defining mark of my iLife.

Aloha.
