Even the best laid plans...



I've been afraid of changing 'cause I've
Built my life around you.
Time makes you bolder, even children get older,
And I'm getting older, too. (Landslide, Smashing Pumpkins)



I'm getting older, too.

I miss my younger days. Things seemed simpler just 3 years ago. Whatever happened to me?

I thought I had my life figured out - finally - that I was on my way there, that hypothetical somewhere I decided I wanted to be in. That I was following my own decisions, becoming responsible for myself, cleaning after my own mess. And that I was finally growing up.

Someone might have told me this is what it's like, growing up. But I know me: I didn't listen.

So this what it's like, growing up. Is there really something to look forward to?


I am sappy and I write like a bad emo song, forgive me. I need something to do to motivate myself.

I know: This week I will put a list of memorable movies I did not see. Before the year is over, I should be able to watch all of them.

I'm dealing with backstabbing here, Sweetie. I miss you.

they still have it there, do they?
at least WH is relatively better now. we have more pressing concerns than stabbing other people's backs.

I'm glad that WH has matured. I wish I could bring myself to go back to Earthlink, but right now, I'm fed up with the whole Call Center Industry. I want a change. I need a change. I'm actually thinking of going back to the band circuit. I'm writing songs again as you can see.
