“Look!” said a man, standing some distance from the ground, atop a building, as he held one hand over his eyes and pointed with the other. A woman joined him at the railing, by which he was standing.
“What is it?!” she cried, also pointing. Within seconds, people were gathering all around; jostling and twisting for a good place to stand, to see the whatever.
“Is it a bird?”, one cried.
“It’s a plane!” another called out.
“No, it’s… a man making a post?” a small boy asked, severely disappointed at what he saw. The rest squinted, and upon seeing that he was correct, shook their heads and went about their business.
That’s right, I have returned! From great trips to far off places! Seeing wonders, previously unknown! Gather around, all who wish to hear tales of my adventures, and you surely shall not be disappointed. Or maybe you will, but that is not for me to say one way or the other. It shall be up to YOU, the reader, to decide the fate of this blog. To decide if it is worthy of your time to read this entry, even.
Now, I do want to say that I would like to be able to change the theme of the blog to something more awesome. However, it makes some of my posts not work properly, because of the way that they were set-up. There are pictures embedded in posts that don’t show up, unless the right theme is applied to the blog. How silly is that? But anyway, I digress into boring things that you don’t really care to read about. Which would make this blog/post a disappointment, which, as previously stated, is something that I am trying to avoid!
Letsee… biggest news in my life since my last blog update, I believe, is that I started school. That’s right… twenty-four year old me is entering the concrete jungle filled with testosterone laden young lads, whom are out to impress the ladies, and seemingly little else. I am so out of my element there, that it’s not even funny. I kid you not; most of the guys there are not paying a bit of attention during class. The teacher will say something, and they’ll all go, “Huh? What’d s/he say? I didn’t catch it.”
Well, no duh, you didn’t catch it! You were too busy chatting with the guy next to you about the roundness of a certain part of a female. There’s been times that I’ve wanted to turn to them and say, “Shut up or GTFO.”
Other than that, I helped my dad move the computer shop to a better location. I then quit, so I could go full time to school. I still go in occasionally to help him out with computer repairs, but for the most part… I am doing school full time. It’s actually been so much nicer since I left. My stress level has gone down, probably 10 fold. I think greatly in part to just being away from those annoying “song” birds. Actually, I am posting this from his office at the moment, and I’m sitting right next to the bird cage. I am about ready to toss the cage out the back door. They sit there and screech… not sing. Ugh.
I had a pretty good Christmas. My parents went out of town for a cruise and had me watch the house while they were gone. It was kinda lonely, but I was able to go to a friend’s house ALMOST every night. However, as a whole… the last month of the year and first month of this year, were pretty sucky. Of course, it seems that it’s always the bad months that you remember forEVER. The good months tend to slip from my memory, much faster. How is that even fair?
Anyway… we’re off to celebrate my mother’s birthday at Longhorn tonight. So, I need to start getting ready. Maybe I’ll be back with another update before too long.
