Well here we are folks. Here I am anyway. It's been a long time since I've written regularly, almost a year. I've had some pretty wild experiences in that time, how about you all? The short update is that I'm back in school full time, I've got maybe two and a half semesters left to go and I can definitely see the light. I'm working at a bar/restaurant now, which is way more fun than my cafe job, which was more fun than my desk job. I must say I haven't been perusing the internet for funny and interesting things much these days. I've been working a lot, and climbing a little, and part of me feels that all that junk on the internet is simply that, junk. But I understand, and I remember what it was like to be stuck in front of a computer all day. You want to be stimulated, because your job or your schoolwork or perhaps your social life aren't quite getting the job done. Can we talk just briefly about the presidential race? How wonderful was that speech Obama gave at the convention? I gotta tell you folks, he's a quantum leap ahead of anyone we've seen in a long time. He is the first politician I've ever seen speak about love and hope instead of fear. That alone is enough to get my vote. It's about time somebody realized that we're all in this together. But I like what Bill Maher has been saying, isn't it time for someone to come out against war, totally against it? Not just to pick the smartest or most reasonable war but to actually acknowledge the fact that war is not a way to resolve conflicts, it is a way to create them. Anyhoo, I hope you're all doing wonderfully. And who knows, maybe there are some funny and interesting updates coming to you in the future. After all, I still knowwhatimdoin ;)
