I know. It's been years since I've updated this thing. I don't know if any of the kids who used to read my journal entries still fuck with livejournal. It seems to have been pretty thoroughly defeated by the myspaces and facebooks of the world. But yeah, I'm updating. I'll go ahead and warn you right now, I don't know if I'll continue updating. And at least for this entry, there will not be a hilarious story. And there will definitely be no hilarious instant messenger conversation posted. Shit. People don't even AIM me anymore. It's been a fuckin' while since I was e-famous. I may post some hilarious stories again. Maybe I won't. I will say I'm at least a little bit more grown up these days and I'm not really interested in being voted most popular anymore. (Yeah. I'm keeping it real and admitting I really was pretty concerned with being the coolest kid on the block, but god damned if I wasn't pulling it off too.)
I'm 32 years old now. Since I've last updated, I started going to school again. I've attended the University of St. Thomas in Houston and Syracuse University in Central New York. I've interned for a city councilman. I've spent a semester in Barcelona, Spain doing a whole lot of nothing. I've been engaged and I've been dumped. I've been sick and I've been relatively healthy. I also kind of lost my mind for a little while. I imagine all of those who used to wish me ill will be pleased to hear that. In fact, if any of them still read this I'm sure I'll hear some comments about karma being a bitch. Whatever. Life happens to everybody.
Now I'm back in Houston, figuring out my next move and it looks like my next move is Austin. I may get a job in politics there and finish my degree at the University of Texas. That's the tentative plan right now.
I'm still vegan. I'm still sober. I'm still unnaturally sexy. Some things just don't change, you know? I guess, for now, that's enough. Maybe I'll do this again. Oh! I do have one final observation to leave you with:
Tonight I saw a movie. One of the previews was for a movie called "Defiance", in which Daniel Craig apparently saves a bunch of folks from the Nazi's. In the last line of the preview, a rabbi says "I had nearly lost my faith, then God sent you to us." or something along those general lines. But what the fuck? Seriously man, the forces of evil send Hitler and the best God can come up with is Daniel fuckin' Craig? Remember the old days when God used handle business and smite evil doers with floods and lightning bolts and shit? He's getting lazy these days. Now he just calls up Daniel Craig and is like, "Say brah, can you handle this whole holocaust thing for me? I'm watching the Real Housewives of Orange County with the Holy Ghost and I've no time for smiting. Alright, cool. I'll return the favor by getting your unknown ass the James Bond gig or something. Peace."
