Wow .. It's been a while
Hell .. i long for the days of full disclosure once more. It's been a tremendous week but I can't spare too many details.
Working at a great new job .. pay is pretty solid, less than I deserve, but the job isn't in my realm of expertise. However, the benefits are fantastic (like $12 a month for a gym membership at a world-class facility across the road, discounted laser vision correction, 2-1 matching 401k) and the people I work with are great. Plus, it's a HUGE company with plenty of opportunities for upward mobility, and incredibly stable to boot.
No real news of substance to report on the legal front .. situation is pretty much the same for now.
Romantically .. well I'm pretty damn happy .. and not happy. Had a weird 'deja-vu' moment earlier this week that I realized rather quickly was not necessarily due to facts presented, but "Previous Relationship" baggage. Good experience, because it really didn't take long for me to realize I was assuming the worst due to past transgressions. Not being haunted by my past is a good thing.
Speaking of the past and obligations .. I have a message: I am a person of honor, and as such keep my promises; consider yourself informed and my oath fulfilled: Yes, it finally happened.
For everyone else, hate being fucking elusive, but that's what my situation dictates, for a variety of reasons, chief amoung them is respect and avoiding causing any undue suffering. Safe to say, if you have to ask, then it doesn't concern you.
So .. let's see what I can share with all of you who love and respect me, and whom I should not leave out of the fun.
To everyone that has been riding my ass: You can finally give it (and me) a rest. And yea, you were right you bastards.
To the giant "Full Tilt Boogie:" Had an awesome time .. it's been far too long. We really need to work on running amok together more often, in both a social and professional sense.
To my "Bro:" We're a killer damn team. I will be heading up there again soon to make another night of it .. and there's a job that is PERFECT for you I just found out about.
To my Brother: I love you. I won't be such a fucking distant fuckwit anymore, I promise. I've finally gotten a handle on things.
To the wheeled bruiser: No shit that was an honest mistake. Glad you got a giggle, and no it didn't happen, which is a blessing, believe you me.
To someone distant: Can't wait to see you soon. As much fun as it would be (and to joke about), it won't come to fruition. Which is cool. While the flashing lights would be amusing for a bit, it'd be an awful distraction in my day-to-day affairs.
To someone suffering: It's a dark time, keep your head up. We made a great team, but we're both right: It is a bad idea. Best not to risk it. Was fun to tempt fate though .. thanks for a great time.
To those who worry: The gesture is much more than that. Everything is working out perfectly, even if my patience is worn a bit thin. It's just a matter of time now, but the road is back on course.
To my benefactor: Words can't express my feelings. Soon I will find another way, and it will prove insufficient. I only ask for one more favor: Don't dwell on such things, for you will never be burdened by them.
To a Wonderful Friend: Well there really isn't anything else to say that we haven't already, and what I want to say is for you alone. You bumped up the timetable on me a bit, but I wouldn't have it any other way. No matter what, you're the greatest Lantern I've ever known. Next time the games are on me.
