Old Friends

I've shifted my life around a few times. Sometimes purposefully, and other times seemingly via an uncontrollable sequence of events that may or may not have originated with sommat that I'd instigated. One thing that for certain has happened is that I've made new friends, alienated some others and mis-placed more than a few that I'd like to see.

In this big world getting smaller, the fucking internet is generally the way to find them. And I have located a few. Unfortunately, some of them participate in MySpace or some other "social networking" cult schema that I refuse to accomodate. Just send me a goddamn email, OK?

I still see most of my college buddies every now and again. We get together when my schedule doesn't interfere. One guy I do miss is Andy Bailey. Add Tom, Stephen and myself to the mix and you get the nightmare of any CS professor at Marshall University. Frontier software design at your service. Now, a couple of those guys just kept getting smarter while I veered away from systems and software engineering. My own choice, I assure you. I'm just tired of IT.

I'd like to arrange some kind of big reunion, but some of the away people have families and real lives. It's hard to plan something of that nature out. Ah, I can just remember, I suppose.

Be seeing you.

Fouled That Up

I was supposed to meet the girl so we could "hang out". I ran into a mate of mine and began drinking. I kept on drinking until she went to bed and was no longer interested in seeing me. I love to drink. If you've heard Gang Green's "Alcohol", then you know my weakness. I wish I wouldn't have messed this up, but it's what I've been doing to my life for as long as I can remember. Got to play with the hand I've been dealt.

"It's a fair cop, but society's to blame."

Be seeing you.

The Girl

Talked to the girl briefly last night via SMS. I'm supposed to call her tonight after work. I suppose I will.

New Signal very soon. As soon as I can motivate Ikteka to actually get his material to me work will begin on mixing the Smetnja/Ikteka/Signal split. I think our Ikteka postpones like I do, so I might have to travel to Cleveland and knock on his door!

Off to work with me.

I talked to the girl for 20 minutes on the phone tonight. That is a painfully long time to spend on the phone for me. I really start to get fidgety at about 4 minutes. Things seem OK. I'm supposed to call her after she gets finished with work to-morrow.

Be seeing you.

Unusual Beginning

Today I woke up very early because I went to bed very early. All of these things are unusual to me. I emailed some friends and played some old videogames via MAME. Now I notice the slight odour of old comic books in the air. I do love that smell, even though I don't read comics anymore. It has been a long while since I last posted and I'm coming off another overly-exciting weekend. I am definitely going to cut down on the exciting weekends.

Be seeing you.
