i'm back! i'm back in the saddle again!
Some of you who check your friends' page are wondering what the hell you're seeing here. Well, most of you know that I had a page (which I coded personally) on alpha.gdc.wpi.edu. And as some of you know, the system administrator had a bit of a mix-up, and now my page will never see the light of day. All my archives, completely lost. So while I'm waiting for that to be definite (it being 98% definite at the moment), I thought I'd return and write something on here.
So today was my first day working at Kinko's, and although I'm getting a paycheck from the man now, the next few months will be just about enough to cover my current debt. If I want to buy Christmas presents for anybody, it'll probably have to come out of a second job. Which I have yet to get. So we'll see about that.
Tomorrow, I'll be 23. I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm living away from home, I'm employed, but I'm still far from responsible. Working on the last part.
I've resigned, more or less, from the FTJ forums. It was a love/hate relationship. Lots of intelligent people on some (like Religion/Philosophy or Politics/Social Issues), but lots of idiots on some as well. And the musical forum was getting a bit too elitist for my taste. Somebody mentions they like some pop, or some rap, and it was "DELETE THIS SHIT". Warm, inviting, fun-loving crowd. And if it wasn't that, it was somebody who couldn't spell. Who would usually be replied by somebody saying "DELETE THIS SHIT!!!!111!". [sic] Actually, the real reason I'm getting off there (because for some reason, I fed off the stupidity) is because it was eating into my time. ALL of my time.
So-- out with the old, in with the new. And to PROVE it... I'm changing my aim profile. WOAH. How so, you ask? Bullshit "you ask", nobody's reading this but Angela, me, and Emmanuel when I tell him I wrote something. But moving on. I needed space for a new Samuel Johnson quote that I saw on the back cover of a one-a-day quotes calendar (while waiting over an hour in kinko's for the manager to tell me when to come in for training).
So, out goes:
"Where is the life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?"
~ T.S. Eliot
and in comes:
"Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw before."
~ Samuel Johnson
I figured it was time for a change, so there it is. That, and the fact that days go by where I never step outside... actually getting out and seeing things and experiencing change would be a good, healthy thing for me. So here goes.
I'm changin'.
