I somehow ended up here after reading some of your recipes thread on TDN and I just wanted to say that I really related to your post and enjoyed it.

Well done, sir.

You should write a book.

You write so courageously. I really admire that. I don’t think you should plan on leaving quite yet, if that’s what you’re thinking. Maybe just try hanging out and stuff first.

And you guys are ALWAYS welcome to come down to Des Moines to visit!

Some of the things you could do if you’re ever interested:
- Eat great food at restaurants approved by the local foodies.
- Climb on my friend’s rock climbing wall IN his apartment…and have a time trial tournament going side-to-side.
- Go to a Wes Anderson/Halloween/Oscar’s party in a costume (I’ve heard the list will be growing, heh).
- Go to the “Soup Kitchen,” a weekly pot luck/free food offering of bohemian, yet non-hippie 20-somethings who just hang out and chat for several hours.
- Join some creatives in a screenprinting jam session making stuff for local musicians/friends.
- Go to a board game night.
- Watch an abstract/artistic film like Tarkovsky’s Solaris.
- Just plain hang out.

That was really good and I think it has alot of truths in it. I always have to convince myself to keep working and I forget that there are people out there who have trouble stopping.

Lesson learned: IndieCade is bad for your health.

I figure I’m a Lazy Workaholic. I spent the entire day thinking I should be working, but distracting myself with other things like TV and going to the pub.

The big realization for me was understanding that “being lazy” (when it came to work) wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. I get a lot of stuff done in the short amount of time I do spend on it.

Good for you though, taking a stand to better you life. Hope you find balance.
