...this is what it's all for. I mean, I guess you might think that it's all for skating. I guess in my head, right now, skating is something that I have to do. Not like I have to do chores, more like I have to breathe. That probably sounds precious, but a) it feels true to me, and b) skating like breathing insofar as it's necessary, and it's like breathing insofar as I take it a little bit for granted. Whereas I'm not sure about writing, whether it's something I'm going to have time for.

It's not that I can't make time for writing, you can make time for anything that's important to you. That's what I'm saying, skating right now is that important to me & I'm making time for that; and by "make time," I mean find time. As everybody knows from Lost, you can't make time. You can find time & there's a limited amount of time that you can find. I'm not sure that's what they're saying on Lost. I'm not sure what they're saying on Lost, period. What I'm saying is. You find the time for skating, and you're not sure how much is left for everything else & it might not be enough.

But this is a good amount, I'm happy with this. I should acknowledge that this will mostly be made possible by waking up at 5:00 AM on Saturday mornings for Fleetwood speed practice & not really feeling the need to run after that.

Right now, I'm still in talk to the pear mode & just doing what seems to need doing: writing for this blog, designing a screensaver that's supposed to keep me on task when I'm at work, printing my name on the back of my practice shirts. It's random, and it's enjoyable & the latter probably has to do with the former, and is another counterpoint to how skating feels. Which is why I'm not pushing to get back to the time travel screenplay. If I randomly fall into writing that, then great. You can't push for everything and everything's not going to fall in your lap, but you're living the right life if you can get a little of both in—
