fucking 'A' New Year's Eve
i've gotten some comments recently about how i don't post enough, or at all for that matter, and apparently some people actually enjoy reading about my life. moreover, it's new year's eve, which is a perfect time to update. i'm goin to keep this moderately short though, as i need to shower and go out for drinksies.
one, i have a second job now. it's at a place called Barca, and it's in Capitol Hill which is totally awesome, and i'm probably going to go there for at least a little while tonight to drink with jaclyn.
two, jaclyn is the girl right now. those of you who have any sort of history understand that, danielle maybe most of all. while we are not boyfriend and girlfriend we are hanging out on a regular basis and doing couple-ish things. this has both its pros and cons. mostly pros though.
three, noah's officially sucks more than the suckiest thing out there. i mean it sucks more than getting dumped or more than losing money or more than realizing you like Panic! at the Disco. all of these things have happened to me, so understand that i am a credible source.
when i first started typing this, i expected great thoughts to come to fruition, but it's looking bad for that, and i really desperately want this post to mean something.
for instance, one year, on my birthday, my 20th i think, i talked about all the crazy shit that had changed in the last year. like alycia dying, dropping out of college, danielle dumping me, you know, the usual. anyway, i feel like something akin to that should happen here, now. so let me start.
i think easily the biggest thing is moving to seattle. that was by far an insane choice on my part. not in any bad way, but just to think i up and moved 2000 miles away from almost everyone i know, save my brother. i left behind all my louisville buddies(those that were left), my extended family(parents and sister still in south korea as you know) and of course the girl that changed my life the most. leaving Kate behind was easily the hardest thing for me to do this year. i've had some time to reflect on it all, a year really, and while her dumping me sucked, and while leaving richmond/kentucky to get away from her maybe have been over dramatic at the time, it's actually been on of the greatest things ever. i've met some amazing people in seattle. gabriel has become my newest confidante, and ryan, while technically my boss, is one of the greatest friends a guy could hope for. jaclyn is a special girl with lots and lots to teach me about being happy. linnea makes smiles easier and easier to come. without erik i wouldn't know that being a white guy and a ninja can happen without chris farley, and to boot he's a truly wonderful soul with advice for days. lydia is the easiest person to talk to in the world, and probably knows the most about me of anyone right now. topher, while not seeing him as often as i'd like, deserves a lot better than he's gotten recently, and i aim to help that. tim also deserves an award, not only for greatest hug giver, but just for being able to listen and understand anything and everything. so yes, changing city's wacked out my sleep pattern for a couple weeks, and made it more difficult to see some people who i had grown accustomed to seeing on a regular basis and who i'd like to be closer to me now, but honestly, it was the best move overall. essentially, Kate, i love you to death, and i always will, but it was the wrong time for us, and there may not be a right time. courtney is a lucky guy.
fucking sentimental... i gotta shower and shit. i'll update again tomorrow, i feel a flood coming on of writing in the next couple days.
to those of you who will be celebrating the solar new year, i hope you usher it in with poise and dignity. for those of you, who like me, have recently discovered your lineage coincides with that of Cao Cao, powerful warlord during the Three Kingdoms era of China's history, and will therefore be celebrating your new year on february 18th, i look forward to ridding the world of Nian through firecrackers and welcoming the Boar to our life.
peace, love, and mountain dew kids
