as is my boy POSTOP, i'd say i'm in a rut as well. it's like i've lost all concern for anything and everything. i don't much care about gettin random chicks, i don't much enjoy gambling like i used to ... in fact, the only thing i think about anymore is when i get to drink again.
sad, isn't it?
but seriously. it's true.
really, i've been thinking a lot about my future over the last few days. ('eckhart! think about the future!') and, basically, i think i'm getting over vegas. it's not like i DISLIKE it here ... the problem really comes down to two things. one is that the quality of people here is pretty slim. sure, barbie doll strippers are fun and all but, like, a REAL chick might be nice for a change. maybe that's why i fell so hard for amber. hadn't met a real girl in probably a year and a half and it was a nice change of pace. the other thing is pay for what i do. this isn't a tech town by any means and tech work is worth about as much as highway construction here. i get emails from dice.com constantly about jobs doing less than i currently do for about twice as much money. and i call bullshit on the cost of living argument -- if you go to the right place, it's not that much different. i've researched, goddammit.
i'm just kinda tired of the whole transient town thing. it's impossible to meet anyone decent or real. for a while, it didn't much bother me. but i guess it starts to wear after a year or two.
from what i understand, LA is the place for me. i've heard that for the last year and it's probably true. almost landed there in january; but circumstances beyond my control prevented that.
regardless, yeah ... another year of vegas and then it's on to the sleaze of LA, where i might actually become a rockstar.
or at worst a better paid geek.
so -- SGLA peeps. anyone need a roommate a year from now?

Don't know if I qualify for "hot chick" but, I'm female regardless. LA, huh? And you're on a search for "real" people? 
I hope you find what you are looking for, eventually. You must come back home and visit soon, though. I need a good dose of sweetheart-cockiness and no one quite compares to you in that category. Oh...and happiness is not in the bottom of a Heineken.
