Sometimes you just have to do something to prove to yourself that you still have "it". The "it" varies from person to person, though...

Every once in a while, you find out something that turns the world on it's side for a while. Someone I knew from HS, who decided to go on a self-destruction bent in college, is getting married ("There but for the Grace of God go I..."), and a friend of mine from HS is calling into question their gender identity.

I think I'll go have...

"Evolution is continuous."

I checked out a martial arts class that a few of my coworkers have been doing. They got a little heavy on the philosophy, but damn it was nice to be able to focus my body and my mind like that again...and who knows, maybe I need to hear some of the philosophy.

Work continues apace, with code monkeys yowling their masses...

I'm in need to send out some digital spew: If you don't like my whinging about my life, do move along without comment...I've probably heard it, and I don't care.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...finally. Cold == good. Rain == ehh, ok. Cold + rain == "teh suck". This is Florida dammit, we need sunshine!

...

(Holy shit, did I just profess a need for sunlight?)

"He liked that very much...to be awake, and not able to think."

Yay for friends who will get you drunk when you're feeling like shit!

So...my disgust with staying in all the time finally reached a point last night that I had a burning need to get out and do something. I decided to hit the Castle, because I haven't been there in years. And what happened? It was raining outside.

"Bah, fuckit."

I went anyway.
In retrospect, I probably should have worn my trench, because walking without an umbrella...

I once read a news report about researchers that had found a way to keep roses growing all year long. They did so by essentially replicating the conditions in which roses bloom, and kept them in those conditions.

I have reached a point where I am under a similar...state. I have compelled myself to always work on evolving myself into a new and better incarnation....
