Half heartedly

Maybe I do too much half-heartedly. I don't know. I
draw on a daily basis, but don't do anything with my
artwork other than put it online for friends and
family to see. I don't really throw myself into
projects any more. I used to. I should more often. I
haven't put a lot of effort into much lately. I have
just been floating. Or really just drifting.
Half-hearted.
Take tonight for example. Got home around 6:45. Made
some dinner, sat and thought about what to draw. I
had to do a make up drawing for yesterday. So I had
two drawings to do. While thinking of what to draw I
put on the TV. Not to watch but more as background
noise. I took a bunch of pictures of myself, which is
what I do when I come up with ideas to draw put need
specific poses or images to draw from. I got a small
glass of whiskey on the rocks. I drew, which took me
a few hours (really...when I sit to draw it takes me
a while to finish a drawing). Some days I can finish
a drawing in a few minutes, most of the time it takes
me half an hour to a full hour. And I drew two
tonight. I played with Angelo, drank some more
whiskey, read some news online and chatted with a few
friends. And here it is. Midnight.
Things I intended to do tonight included sending out
resumes, knitting (I actually got out some knitting
stuff, but only located it in pieces and didn't start
anything), the dishes, or read. But I did none of
those. Eh....just feeling, out of sorts a little
tonight. No friends around to hang with tonight. So
its been a long night of very little.
So maybe, I'll start putting more effort into my
life. I wonder how many people say that to themselves
at one point or another. I wish I could say that its
a sobering moment. One of those grand realizations,
but its not.
