Random Thoughts
Today I intended to go to Berkeley to 'my old Berkeley office' and do some writing. I haven't hung out in a coffee shop since I got Internet access in my apartment and wanted the time to think without being lazy. On my way there, I get a call from mandaryn and bleego wanting to hang out. Haven't seen them in a while so I drive to Emeryville and wait in the parking lot of Chevy's till they're about to arrive. Caught up with our lives and then went to IKEA where they got some stuff and I determined that my 'media center' will not be furnished won't be found there.
So here I am back in my apartment and yet another weekend I don't do the writing I intended to do. This is my fault entirely as I haven't really kicked the old, lazy habits I had in Boston as far as motivation. That and I jump at any opportunity to be social.
For the past two weeks, I've been spending an evening at the Zeitgeist in SF with what is starting to become a weekly goon meet. Interestingly, I keep meeting goons who work for the game industry including Sega and Sony. Some of them also worked for LucasArts for a while and have shared even more storied about the land of Lucas. While I didn't know exact details at the time, I can't help but think to myself how right I was that things went to the shiter.
Even with all this, I'm still finding myself still a bit thirsty for different social circles. I'm trying to find my niches here and while I have a few strong person-to-person friendships and starting up strong in the Goon sector, I still feel I'm missing something here. The people I found are great, but I'm craving for additional great people (not replacements, more people). That and it would be nice to find a woman who is available and mutually attracted to. Ok, mostly that. I'm just unease that I'm loved by a few women elsewhere but not where I am. But that's a can of worms for another time.
