Hello everyone. Monday, I took a trip to Tampa for the first time in nearly three years. The last I had gone down there was to attend a Lightning playoff game in 2022 against the Florida Panthers. Man, what a depressing day it was; the sky was wintry, and the temperatures didn't rise very much during the day. At least it didn't rain though. I was surprised to see 1) how much Tampa proper had grown in three short years, and 2) the Bucs flag at the Advent Health Training Facility (since my sisters passed it en route to my appointment) wasn't flying at half-mast since their season came crashing to an end the night before. But there were some things I definitely didn't miss about being in Tampa. One, the absolute wasteland that is the radio market there, they ALL suck, hence why I exclusively listen to Spotify nowadays. Two, the traffic. I swear it was like qualifying for the Daytona 500 out there, including the Suncoast Expressway. Carmel was holding on to the steering wheel as tight as she could on the way down to Tampa and on the way back. I think she finally relaxed when she pulled into our subdivision.
On the way back, I thought about what dreams and aspirations I have for the future. Thinking about it kind of makes me a bit depressed because I know that my late sister totally screwed me over after my stroke. Not only did she screw me, but she screwed my sister Gwen as well and probably would have done the same to Carmel. That said, maybe it's been a blessing to have been single for so long... but I digress. With me hoping to land myself in a relationship in the future, I'm pondering what I should do for the future, aka the rest of my living years. Sure, I'd like to continue writing this blog, but I know in the end it isn't going to put food on the table or take care of the ones I love going forward. Not enough people read this blog, it's just the way it is.
I could be a content creator, but what exactly would I do since virtually every subject I can think of already has four or five content creators as it is; I would just be a face in an already large crowd. Maybe I could continue to do what I have been doing for a couple of years with my semi-regular flashback feature. I could expand on that potentially, to include news headlines and sports of a particular week. It's something I'll have to have discussions with my current family and potential future family about. I know I'm smart enough. I will figure out something, and hopefully soon.
In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy what I am writing up to this point and thank you for your support.
