Our trip to New York two years ago was not entirely fruitless, and certainly life changing.
The people there were quite different from the people I know now. Not that I would trade my friends or want to replace them at all. But I long for something different, something more. I want to be more than the sum of my internet and RPGs. Show me something new.
It's a weird state to be in. You get out of college, you have a core set of friends. Everyone moves to different places, gets different jobs. You lease, you rent, you own and meet and hate new neighbors. You join some clubs, go to some bars, meet people that just don't do it for you, but still some filter in to your circle of friends.
But here's where you are. Not really in the prime of meeting new friends. Not in the dating scene. You play poker (or whatever) on weekends so you still have some reason to hang out with the folks you know. It gives you an in to invite them over to help you move.
Ugh. There's nothing left to do. Actually, there's plenty but there's no motivation here.
There is this particular feature that I need to add to PageCat, like, now, but I can't bring myself to start coding on it. Truthfully, I have begun coding on it, but I only got as far as seeing how complicated it would be before I just kind of dropped it.
I was listening to WCUR last Thursday and heard some of the best radio I've heard since leaving WUPJ. I called up the station and told the DJ as much, and when I asked her to email me a playlist, she did! Thanks so much Ashley, my new favorite DJ!
We visited Mom and Nana at the timeshare Mom reserved in Atlantic City this year. I meant to put up these pictures a while ago, but didn't. Anyhow, enjoy perusing.
