It's been over a year since I wrote here. Much has changed though. I no longer have a job and am looking for work. However, with that gone, something terrific has happened in my life. I met this woman named Velvet, and I'm now so proud to call her my girlfriend.

Everyone and their mother seems to be changing website design. I left Facebook because of timeline, Youtube is now practically impossible to view, and now LiveJournal wants to change designs as well. Whatever happened to classic tasteful designs? Obviously the dial-up crowd means nothing, either. Perhaps I need to just switch to Lynx.

So, because of Timeline, I have officially given up on Facebook. I probably won't deactivate my account, but you won't be able to hear from me on there. Google plus is where you can easily find me. I will likely be putting more of my thoughts into this area. Although many won't necessarily read them, it's still a way to reach out, and if you truly ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm a jerkish toerag. Maybe I'll grow out of it...

Wow, do I overreact to the stupidest things...
