One Month Later...

So it's been a month since I've posted. Why? I write all fucking day long and for some reason writing about spas in Austin, Texas or revolutionary new concepts for coffee shops makes me apt to find something else to do at the end of the day that doesn't involve typing. Call me crazy...


What's in the news? I love my job. Not to the point of orgasm, but pretty close. I feel fulfilled at the end of the day that I've done good work and that I'll be working towards a career as opposed to a paycheck.

The new apartment rules, by the way. Don is an excellent roommate and an amazing cook. All in all, I'm sitting pretty and enjoying myself.

This is mostly a calming feeling associated with having had a very relaxing weekend of good food, good company, and good times whereupon I get to hang out with my friends and not worry about anything. I'm not broke, I'm not stressed, and I'm not unhappy.

Regardless, I'm pensive. I still stare off into nothingness trying to figure out the meaning of life and living.

The Moss job is working out. I still write for Sequart.com (believe it or not). I enjoy movies, concerts, and comics at a low low price of nothing and I have an ensemble of eclectic characters that I shall share here:

Jake: What can I say about Jake except that he's a pretty rad dude. An amazing photographer and an all around decent individual who is honest, loyal, an dependable. These are qualities that I think pretty much personify the term "dude" so I'm not just usually it casually.

Don: Roommate and renaissance man. Seriously, the man can do no wrong. Cook, musician, writer, painter... I hate him. He's just too cool. I will say his obsession with sarcastic puns and plays on words can drive me insane, but hey, he's funny when he does it. Plus, he makes dinner.

Christine: The infamous barista. She's just a godsend of a friend. Reliable, an active listener, wise beyond her years, and very very fun to hang out with. Plus, the complete lack of sexual tension makes it so nothing could ever fuck up this happily platonic male/female friendship.

Jen: I really dig this girl. She's honest, outspoken, and literally on her own plane of existence and not in an annoying way. She's just a very LIVING person.

Meredith: Seriously, a girl so cool, I think I accidentally made her up. An uber-hot, sarcastic, witty, and intelligent geek who is never, ever what you think she is. Always cool.

Alisha: Adorable is the only word that can describe this coworker of mine. Not only that, she's just very, very fun to be with and always tends to light up a room.

Alissa: Although I've known her for a year, she's become like a little sister in the last few months. Good soul, kind heart.

Justin: We were ok friends in school, but now that we've both had our fair share of bad times, he and I are on similar wavelengths of the absurdity of society.

Ashley: One of my friends from PSU who stuck around, she's smart, funny, and can knock a few back with the best of'm.

The usual band of brigands still bandy about: Will, Karl, Sanelle, Bentley, Meg, Kevin, and Jeff are still around and we all still hang out and catch up. The above are just the new blood and the people that I get to hang out with on a daily basis.

*New Chuck Klosterman book. I'm in heaven.

*I'm up to... 3 trades a week, so Sequart.com column should be well and regular from here on out. This brings us to...

*My writing for MossLive will be available at www.mosslive.com for consumption. My Pete Yorn coverage is up right now and coming soon, my Pennywise interview and concert report.

*New Sequart.com column is up! Finally!

*Only working one day a week at the video store: Thursday. It's just hard to throw it in during a long week of work. We'll see how long I can keep it up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in awhile... Well...
