Don’t ruin a good story with the truth.

We all grow up, but some of us never leave home.  Some of us will always remain close to where we grew up.  It’s not a bad thing either way, sometimes it’s born out of necessity.  I know a lot of people who moved so far away from home, but they ended up moving back.

Travels take me far from here.
But for some reason, my mind stays home.
not that it’s lost or forgotten,
It just decides not to come.

"Adventure is just bad planning."

so, i have been slacking on this majorly.  pretty much on everything.  I got GTA San Andreas the day after it came out, so i had been playing that a lot.  over 40 hours logged in the game, and only 50% done.  the game is huge.  huge doesnt even begin to describe this game.  so that is where most of my wasted time has gone that have kept me from my pc.

other than that, work ofcourse.  going well, kevin is working here now, makes it easier to get up in the morning with someone to be accountable to since he picks me up.  I’ve always known that i will do nothing for myself, but everything for someone else.  I don’t know if that is laziness or just low self esteem.

I turned 22 on the 16th.  spent most of the day at kennedy space center.  yes, florida.  I had some vacation days i had to use before the end of the year, and i have never been to universal, and had been planning on going the past 2 summers, but job-loss got in the way both times.  so i figured it was a good time to go.  And it was.  i was down there from the 12-16th.  went to universal, epcot, islands of adventure, and the space center.  i’ll post pics soon.

Dragon game is starting to show it signs on no developement.  wish i had some programmers.  I think i scare people away by saying “coders” or “programmers.”  not sure why else no one really is stepping up to the plate in a major way.  I even offer up to $20 for a decent addition, and no nibbles.  I just don’t know how to get people involved.  thoughts?

working on setting up the old space game i used to have up.  that was a fun game.  hopefully others will think so too.  i’d be happy if it was half as successful as the dragon game.  I am also in the hosting business now.  email me at sixf00t4@hotmail.com if you are interested in something.  i’ll beat any advertised rate.  Just looking to get some customers.  so if you need a website or hosting, let me know.

other than that, just plain old overwhelmed like usual.  sleep, trying to lose weight and get in shape, thinking about how bad i am going to do in the spring when i start classes back up, and other crap.  keep your stick on the ice.

pfff. friday the 13th. Sometimes i just wonder why people are the way they are. so it is friday the 13th, and because there was a movie about that date i am supposed to go around reminding people what today’s date is??? I just don’t get it. but i never really got why 2-liter pop bottles are shaped that way either. [shrug]

so i just got back from the poetry reading. I made a shameless plug (i am the king of shameless plugs) for my site I read “A Will”, “Return”, “Tears of Heaven”, and “A Son’s Shadow of a Father”. For that one, I had a friend come up and read through the red lettering, as i also read through the black lettering. Totally created the effect I was looking to achieve. I saw some people jerk their heads back and open their eyes wider when we both started reading the 2nd stanza together. Good times, good times. i was so pumped to do the readings tonight, that i wrote 2 new poems, “Silly Me” and “Thanks”. I also thought about puting up some of the others i have written in the past, but i read through them again, and there is no way i can put those up:) I also noticed that a lot of the poems i have up have gramatical errors, how embarrassing. I need to fix that, and maybe even add a little copyright on the bottom of each one. eh, i don’t feel like it While i am talking about writing though, my russian fairy tales class has an extra credit assignment to write a tale in russian fairy tale style. I am all about that. I want to get more of a grip of the style though, because i realize that is what they are going to be looking for.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s day. [cringe] I hate commercial holidays. I hate being expected to be romantic. I think 99.9% of being romantic is being sporatic and surprising. Valentines completely ruins that. But i am going to go play basketball with some of the guys from cornerstone, and hopefully that will turn into a weekly adventure/opportunity for physical activity. Then working on the cornerstone database. We’ll see what the rest of the night has to offer.
