Good day?
Great weekend :). I had low expectations for this weekend thus I am pleased with how it turned out. Saturday drove up to Columbus with Bastian saw Addison and Kwikdog. We went out to awesome Japanese food Addison bought a bentobox and we all laughed as he tried to identify and eat random seafood items.
After Bastian and I went to a party saw more friends and played with clothespins :). We crashed in a hotel room and drove back to Dayton today. WE stopped off and did a little shopping. I bought a nice peasantesque blouse and long skirt from Nirvana and used WII games from Gamestop! I now own three wii motes, two nunchuks, and a bunch of games: Monkey ball, paper mario, wario ware (damn you kwikdog for getting me addicted to this one!), Rayman, wii play and wii sports. I'm looking forward to having a wii party in a few months hopefully I'll have them all unlocked :). After I post this entry I'll go play more wii.
3 years ago today I graduated with my Masters degree in Physical Therapy. My life began to take a drastic change. June 3,2004 was hands down the happiest day of my life. I wore a smile that nothing could phase. I was starting my real life I had aspirations of working beginning to settle down, mature, be responsible and best of all no longer be constrained to a classroom schedule. The future was bright I had goals and I knew I'd make it all happen. On June 5,2004 a tragic death sent me into a state of depression and self exploration. I felt the need to live life to see the world and 'get out of dodge'. I began taking steps to change my life direction. Within the year I change drastically became single and made plans to move out of state. I needed a change something so different that there was no way I could end up back where I was. Do I regret any of it? Sometimes I wonder 'what if' but I don't think I regret it. Out of tragedy I found me. I have a lovely home and new friends. I found my dream job where I'm respected and given positive reinforcement and genuinely liked by my coworkers. I don't feel enclosed in a city, I can afford to blow money on videogames and shiny things without feeling guilty because I may not make rent. I don't spend all day commuting to my job and I have trees around me instead of concrete buildings. Yes, I don't have a beach, I can't wake up and smell the salty air. It is humid and at times stifling weather or dark and cold. My best friends are 2,000+ miles away and probably will never make it out here to visit me but I'm content. Things aren't perfect but right now I can't think of where else/what else I'd rather be doing. I'm sorry to those I've left behind and hurt/stepped on in my changing life.
Lastly, Thank you Celeste for kickstarting the change in my life, I wish you could of found happiness in yours. This beer is for you.
