i'd update more frequently, but
1. so few read it, that i am aware of anyway.

2. my life essentially revolves around work lately and i'm pretty much burned out. i didnt have much of a social life/night life before, but now it's shot to hell.

i did survive my 10-year HS reunion last weekend. it wasn't bad though. there were no hard feelings, bitterness or other political bullshit. it was a good feeling to have people who maybe didn't say two words to each other in 4 years hang out, buy each other drinks and philosophize on where we all are in our lives, and just relax and have a good time free of all the pretense that made high school such a tense period for many of us.

as a bonus, i don't feel too bad about where i am. i feel as if i've dodged many of the pitfalls(in my opinion) of early adulthood. i've lived on my own terms as much as i can and really have few regrets about how i got to this point. i feel as if i shouldn't spend as much time obsessing over the rough patches i've hit periodically.

i'm glad i went now. it was cathartic and as fun as it could be for the only person there with my specific interests being me. i only wish my best friend could have made it back east from san diego. but he did call me sunday and we shot the shit for a while.

i really miss him though. he's a second brother to me.

too bad the two people outside my family i care most about live so far away.
