What's happening, non-followers? Well...actually... ACTUALLY...I think there is one of you out there...who may or may not happen to be my mother-in-law. We'll leave that mystery lingering. Well you know, here I am, with no good reason to be writing or publishing it to any lost souls who happen to stumble upon this...humble little blog, with no relevant information to offer you. But here I am anyway. I left you guys hanging there, with that last ass-clown post. I think it may have to remain a mystery as to the reasons of my anger at good old Mr. Peck. His wife died and essentially...he was a prick...specifically the reason eludes me BUT, suffice to say, if you happened to see a picture of him (not that I would violate his privacy and post a picture of him but...ACCIDENTS HAPPEN) then you would be able to tell for yourself........................... ....................................That is the space where I would also be giving out his address and SSN if I knew it. But, as I said, a mystery. So man it's been like...fourteen months!! What's been happening?! Let's see what's happened between then and now...I turned twenty five about a month after that last post, and then I turned twenty six about a month ago. Dammit. Apparently its an annual thing. So that, plus I've been trudging through school, going for that psych transfer, (YES REALLY!). If it all works out, next quarter will be the last one before receiving my Associate's Transfer Degree. And then on to a Bachelor's. And then a Master's. If it all works out. I was on Christmas break after my first quarter at college when I wrote that last post. Crazy, how the time flies. Lord. My sister moved away, to...ALABAMA. Nobody lives there, except humidity, and apparently now, giant man eating mosquitoes Or so I am told. Apparently her husband's family lives there or something and...his two daughters. I know, right? What an ASSHOLE. He is. For being near his...family. Pssssh. So that happened. Plus what else...the last Nolan Batman movie, Looper (awesome yes), Lincoln, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Silver Linings Playbook, lots of good stuff. Also the blink-182 E.P., the long awaited Matchbox Twenty reunion album (disappointing), the not long awaited or even generally known it was going to happen Ben Gibbard solo album (quite so not disappointing). Yes I measure my time by mass media. I got in a blow out with my sister, on my birthday, on a road trip, to my grandfather's 80th birthday. So that was great. I had two grand mal seizures back in January, which caused my current state of occasional back pain and unemployment. Which was my decision. But it seems complicated to...explain, right now. My job blew nuts, my health gave me a reason to leave and I ran with that bastard. Okay, guess it wasn't. So life is in transition, when I get a new job (notice that callous certainty in which I believe that will happen), it will be my first time that's happened in six and a half years. Will be hopefully transferring to WSU-Vancouver. God, I really hope so. No one in my family has a college degree. Not that they aren't financially successful, my dad makes around 70k, and one sister is a massage therapist (Alabama), and the other one runs a successful at home business, and her husband makes pretty good money working for the city. But, with this economy we millennial s (Yes, I did it) are entering a college degree is looking more and more like a basic requirement, i.e. a high school diploma. Less options for people without higher education. Plus I'm kind of like the least likely to get a college degree, I wasn't so hot in school. But, in my defense, I didn't really care about grades then. Now I do, and my grades reflect that change. Honestly I can't wait until I even just have that Associate's, and hang it on the wall. I really thought that could never happen. When you get shitty grades your whole life, and you try to downplay any intelligent thoughts you might have (because it's school and the cool thing was indifference), then you start to believe everyone else. That you're a dumb-ass. And to those people, having a degree makes you smart. Which, I'm now experienced enough to know that don't make one difference. But still...I like money. So that brings us to now. There was a brilliant sunset, and now dark has set and so I think I'm going to go finish making Easter eggs for Sunday. With my daughter and wife. Something else I thought would never happen. All for now...
