Catching Up..

I never realized how much Jay must really enjoy reading these. Lately it keeps coming up..."You haven't done a new blog in a while". I know I know. I'm hot and cold when it comes to these sort of things, I can't help it. The whole point of this blog is just to more or less illustrate the things that go on in my life and how they amuse/irritate/inspire me.

I just turned 26 last week. No big deal really. No party. No cake. I didn't even get a card from my parents, which I really didn't care about. For some reason, my enthusiasm for birthdays and things like that have really worn thin after so many years of Feb 13th being a day of nonstop drinking (thank you college).

The job situation is status quo...I'm still working from home and still managing to somehow have more money in my bank account than I ever did before. It looks like things will become full time for me very soon. More to come on that...

The real inspiration to start writing again was the events of the past weekend. As always, my friends always give me reason to think, and therefore write. Federico and Gelo came home to SI for the weekend, and a bunch of us went out to the Black Dog to, well, get drunk. The night got interesting when in walked an ex-friend of mythic proportions that I haven't seen in like, four years. Long story short, after a conversation with said ex-friend, I really got to thinking about how people who seem so important for whatever reason at one point in your life disappear as you grow into an older person, and become little more than an afterthought. I guess you can sort of call it friend evolution or something. Based on the conversation I had with this person, I felt like I was 16 again. I mean, I'm not saying it was his fault. What else were we supposed to talk about? The entire thing was more or less the old gossip game of "did you hear/see/read about so-and-so?" I just couldn't imagine still being friends with this person at this stage in life. I don't gossip about people. I don't care what people do. I'm not interested in the lives of people I went to high school with. And I'm not being snotty, I swear, it's nothing against him, I'm just over it.

Enough of that bullshit. I spent today at Federico's where we looked up Cannibal Ferox and Zombi on YouTube in the brand new Federico kitchen 2.0. Ah, yes, some things NEVER get old.

I've been sloppy with the gym and eating a lot of crap, but I really don't care. I start going back hardcore this week... I've vowed to stop worrying so much about what I eat. I'm 26 fucking years old and I have the metabolism of a freight train. Eat some goddamn cake. It won't kill you.

Overall...I'm pretty happy right now. And I promise to write more often Jay. Like you don't know everything that goes on in my life anyway.

Random thing annoying me: Commercials for products/places that are nowhere near the the NY area. I keep seeing Alltel commercials (cell service in the Midwest) and Sonic fast food commercials. The closest Sonic to here is in Virginia. Please stop it already. I will NEVER have a "My Sonic" Card to pay at the drive thru. I don't like in Lexington, KY. Fuckin stop.

Oh- check out the "Angry Nintendo Nerd" on YouTube. He's absolutely hysterical...
