I, along with many (most?) people, have a tendency to lament about how boring my life is. After all, my general day-to-day routine is usually just that: routine. I get up, dink around on the ‘net, go to work, come home, dink around on the ‘net, and go to bed.

Repeat, ad infinitum, ad naseum.

While talking to one of my regular customers tonight, though, we both started laughing.

Over the past six months, I’ve bought a top-of-the-line computer, been dismissed from my job for posting a photograph on my blog, caught some small amount of fame because of that event (which isn’t over yet — I’m not going to divulge too many details just yet, but I did spend a few hours over a couple nights being interviewed last week…), been able to watch two fires at the building next door, seen Howard Dean, had my website design appropriated twice, seen my little brother get married, been served a “cease and desist” letter for my participation in the Grey Day project, lost my camera, and now I’m working three 13-hour days in order to get a little more money to replace the lost camera.

Not bad for a “boring life”, is it?

iTunes: “My World (Visual Valley)” by van Dyk, Paul from the album Goa Rave (1994, 4:16).
