Just got back from taking two AWESOMELY-deserved vacation weeks from work.

Where did I go?
NOWHERE! Yet, exactly what I needed.
Got a lot of fresh perspective, and a ton of housework done in the process.

What did I miss at work?
Well, looks like I left just in time,
I got back and the people that picked up my project,
Everybody has been struggling for the past two weeks.
It's nice to come back and see what arduous and frustrating tasks I sluffed out on.
Though, I may be the go-to guy now, so we'll see....

Why did I go?
My heart was scrapX0red from the broken engagement.
My brain was trailing along my heart and fried trying to figure out my shit.
Needed a fucking break from everything.

What did I get done?

1. Dressed up as Alex from Clockwork for Halloween.
2. Got closure and perspective on the whole detrimental heartscraped situation. FUCK FINALLY YES.
3. Got my office set up as a sound studio, with working Windows 7 computer.
4. Saw the Bodies Exhibit downtown with Jeremy and Katie (and got illicit footage)
5. Saw The Pixies rock harder than they ever have (at this age) at the Paramount with Jeremy.
6. A couple jam sessions with different folks, Reg, and Jesse.
7. Made my place the cleanest its ever been.
8. Painted a lot, including the front door.
9. Demossed the driveway.
10. Started learning Claire Delune on Piano.
11. Put casters on all the kitchen furniture making them all modular.
12. Set up a Security System that calls me, and my good neighbors, if someone breaks in.
13. Had lots of friendtime and downtime, both very much are needed.
14. Put all my projects and collections in uniform organized labeled bins in the garage.
15. Installed a trailer hitch and lighting on my Civic.
16. Bought/built a trailer to drop off all the exs' couches they left me when they left me. :D
17. Bought the coolest fucking watch.
18. Went looking for the American Dream. Still looking/investigating.
19. Tiled (but may have to pull up and re-tile, my first time tiling :/ ...)
20. Caught up on Season 2 & 3 of BSG.
21. Caught up on Season 4 of Dexter.
22. Went to Zaika Karaoke and ROCKED Us and Them (Pink Floyd) (confirmed by random man)
23. Saw a bumper sticker that read "CSI: Christ Saves Individuals"
24. Went "???"...
25. Tried to find the car sporting this bumpersticker, to take picture proof, and got lost in south renton.


26. Started meditating. Weird shit, that is. To sit and do nothing. To think about nothing.
27. Started to learn magic tricks (fake and real) with playing cards (a tool i intend to help cessate smoking with)
28. Jogged 2.5 miles around Seward Park, intend to do every other day. Weather's been shit lately though...
29. Set up and now use a daily vitamin and medication regimen deployment system.
30. Realized I put all of my heart in soul for the past years trying to make star-crossed-inherently-doomed relationships work, and less of my heart and soul into myself and upkeeping my friends. Realignment necessary.
31. Stepped on a fucking rusty nail. Got tetanus shot. Woo. Now I'm all Limpy McGimperson for a couple days.
32. Realized finally what it means to live for yourself.
33. And am doing so accordingly.

Every vacation I've ever took has been for the benefit of others.
This one was all about me!

NNnnn-tsss! NNnnn-tsss! NNnnn-tsss!
