Havent posted since July... I've been rather distracted since then, mostly dealing with a certain female that entered my life last February that I became deeply involved with... Well, as of Xmas eve, that all ended. Her name is Emi. I don't really feeling like going into details about her or us at this time so I'll save it for another post... maybe.
Anyway, in the last 6 months, I've aged another year. Yep, turned 41 in August. I went and saw Lords Of Acid and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult on my bday. Hooked up with some cute girl for about 15 minutes before her pissy friend dragged her off, haha! Went to a couple bars with friends afterward then left after one of my friends had an alcoholic meltdown in the bar. Good times!
No more temp jobs for me, I FINALLY got hired somewhere! I work as a quality control tech for a laser-optics company. It's nice having a little job security plus vacation and holiday pay again. Not to mention benefits...
And speaking of benefits, my health insurance kicked in just in time for me to break the shit out of my leg in October! Im not 100% sure of the details in what lead up to it, but I ended up in the hospital for 4 days. Had to have surgery too! They inserted a titanium rod in my whole shin bone and I have a large screw in my knee and I think, 4 in my ankle. I broke both bones actually, but they left the smaller one alone to heal on its own. I just realized its been almost 3 months since all that happened. Im back wearing both of my boots again but still walking with the aid of one crutch. One things for sure, I did more drugs in the first 2 weeks after it happened than I've done in the last 10 fucking years, haha!
Been to many parties and shows. I got involved in a brawl at The Queers show in November. At one point I was swinging one of my crutches at peoples heads and ended up punching some dude in the eye. More good times!
Got to see my old and dear friend, Anna, recently. Catching up and getting reacquainted was nice.
So yeah, 2010 ended on a rather down note for me with the breakup, 3 day drunken bender and resulting sickness that followed. Been in a funk since all that happened. New years eve was okay, just hung out and drank with some friends all night the dragged them to my house for breakfast. Made out with this rockabilly chick I've seen around town too. Anyway, Im hoping for a much better 2011. I was thinking, now that Emi's out of the picture and all our plans are no more, that maybe I'll build up a bunch of PTO time at work, save some of my income tax money and take a trip out east in maybe, late May or June. I've said in the past that I wanna see NYC before I die so perhaps this might be a good time to do it!
Well, despite all that I've been through in the last few months, and particularly the last 2-3 weeks, I actually DO have moments of optimism. I look forward to what's to come...................
