Well I've returned to blog my thoughts. The title of my blog is in Latin. I've always loved Latin. The fact that it's a dead language attracted it to me and made me appreciate its rarity. Any way, the translation is Life is a Journey. Now you can argue if that is a correct translation or not but I'm pretty sure I'm right. If I'm not then, that's what I meant it to translate it to. Anyway, rambling just a little. I've been considering going to Austin once my lease is up here. I'm tired of this city, the bad memories, and basically tired of this city in general. I've always been fond of the city ever since I was little, and my reasons for staying here are gone. I had three reasons for staying in this city instead of going to Alaska with my parents back in late October. Reason one was Energy Girl aka Keil (decided to change her secret name. She isn't like energy girl to me anymore.) She was my girlfriend. The one I'd felt was the one I would be with for the rest of my life. We clicked together, and it just seemed right. Unfortunately, i was wrong and we were only together for 2 months. It seemed longer at the time but either way it didn't work out. My second reason was Juliet. She was like my best friend, second only to my good friend RecklessStripe, who lives in Austin now. In the end however, JUliet and I drifted apart too, 5 months after my parents left. My third reason was school. I was taking classes at a college and I wanted to finish them. I ended up failing them anyway so it didn't matter. So all my reasons for not leaving came apart, and now I'm stuck here. Life is a journey and we never know where the road will take us. My road as taken me to somewhere I don't want to be. I'm ready for a new place to live, and a new place to call my home. I have resolved to go to Austin when my lease is up, no matter what. There is no reason for me to stay in this town with this same old job. I've been in this town for almost 6 years now, and I've had this current job for 3 and a half years now. I've never lived in another place for more then 3 years, and I'm ready to move to a new place. This town is done, and Ive set my sights on Austin. There I can do new things, meet new people, and start a new job. Now I may be repeating myself, but this is whats been on my mind more and more lately. I may be leaving some good memories and friends behind but I'll be leaving the bad behind as well. When people ask me how was my day or what did I do today, I can finally say something different besides work, sleep, eat, play games. I can say I took a walk down congress ave, I went to a dance club, a local concert, a comic book store, and etc... It's time for a change in my life, and that time fast approaches. And if Juliet is reading this, I hope you like the birthday gift I'm sending or have sent. I figured it's what you would want. Right now I'm still wondering how to get it to you. I don't know where your staying this summer so if it's late or was late, Sorry. I know you don't care two licks of bean about me but do onto to others and all that. Your still a friend, no matter if you want to be or not. So is Keil but anyway yeah. p.s Sexting is not having sex. If someone is sexting with you, you cant say there with you fro the sex. You people are not actually having sex. God women. (In case one of my friends read this.) Goodbye for now, sorry about any spelling issues, and until we talk again.
