I haven't updated in...oh..forever haha. Things are going pretty well. I've got a job...still working for the bank but it's different out here, almost tolerable. I can't complain truthfully...they gave me my same salary to do something less and right now, I couldn't beat that offer. I've gotten to meet some new people and I'm starting to feel more and more that I made the right decision in moving to Austin. This is really where it feels like I'm supposed to be.
There's no question I miss friends and stuff but I'm doing better. I'm adapting and getting used to the idea that this is home now. With a job going again I can start concentrating on paying off my debt and begin having a little more control over my life. That fact alone may be the most liberating.
Cheers to moving forward!

I can't understand it. I told myself that when I moved I wasn't going to get into any kind of relationship. Well...naturally as fate would have it I start to become really attracted to someone and we date for a little while before I leave. I really start to fall for her. Obviously, my plans are set so I can't just change that.
Well...I moved and we've been chatting almost daily; I can't get her out of my head. She says she's interested, but she also seems the type to just keep everyone happy. She talks about coming out here to visit in January, but I'm not sure how serious she is. I find myself thinking about her all the time...wanting to talk to her. She just...doesn't seem as interested in talking to me sometimes. I get the idea she's dating someone else back in AZ.
Maybe it's just my insecurity because I've been burned before and all I can think is that maybe she's with someone else.
I guess I can't really ask for anything more. Long distance relationships don't really work. It just...figures that I finally start to find someone and I move...any thoughts? Advice?

I'm in Austin now! It's interesting to find out who really cares and who doesn't when you move...but...I already knew that; part of the reason I moved in the first place. It's nice to actually be in a house again and not an apartment. I have a garage that I can park in, a big yard, and most importantly...SPACE! The unpacking seems endless though...
The first week of livin w/my bro has been pretty uneventful. We have almost completely opposite hours. He works in security so he sleeps all day and works all night. By the time I wake up in the morning he's usually asleep. It's cool, but it's also not. I was hoping to get to spend more time w/him and hang out, but that hasn't really happened since I've been here. I get my bonus check next weekend though, so I'm going to try to convince him to go out so we can check out the downtown scene. I haven't been down there since one of the first times I came here, and it was pretty sweet.
Anyways...just thought I'd update...

I'm countin the days...26 to be exact. The longer I'm here the more I realize that it's time to go. I'm not sure how I got so unhappy here, but it's been gradually building for months now. Job, fickle friends, girls (or lack thereof)...all of it building into this. I'm actually pretty stoked for it; I really need somethin new.
Ever just need that fresh start? A new adventure? Tell me about it!

Short but sweet....it's official...I'm moving to Austin in 6 weeks! If anyone happens to know anybody out there, feel free to let me know. I'm really excited about the move. It's just time. I'm in desperate need of a a change and this is it. I'm really not even sure if I'll have a job out there...it doesn't matter. I just gotta go. I'm hoping it works our better...but we'll see. I'm trying to enjoy the friends I have here for the last few weeks since it'll likely be awhile before I get back here; trying not to miss out on anything! Hopefully I'll get to see everyone before I go.
Hey! I haven't updated in awhile, but I guess that's really because there hasn't been a whole lot goin on here. The biggest thing is that barring disaster I'm moving to Austin in two months! My fam is all out there and I'm running out of reasons to stay here. No g/f, my friends are mostly all married, and those who aren't almost are or we don't talk much. It's just a chance for a change, and I don't have any reasons to pass it up at this point. It's kind of scary, but at this point I just need some new scenery. Plus I'll get a chance to live w/my bro and get closer to him. I spent too much time after dad died trying to be dad instead of bro. I think it'll be good for us.
On a side note, totally f-ed up my arm last week...almost tore my biceps tendon. Luckily it didn't quite get that far and only tore up some of the muscle tissue. It had to be wrapped up and in a sling for most of this week. The good news is it should be good to go in 2-3 weeks. I'm just glad there's no major damage requiring surgery...1 surgery w/in the last year is plenty.
Other than that...not a whole lot else going on; I'm just hanging on to my job by my fingernails. One of my best buddies at work got let go this week. It really sucks seeing that happen...especially to someone who is so qualified and it's someone you like too. He's gonna land on his feet...but it's just an example of why my company is getting run into the ground because they refuse to pay and keep the top talent. Ridiculous...
I should have some new pictures up here soon! Mine now have been up here awhile, so hopefully this will be a bit of an update. Anyways...I hope you all are doing well.

.I've got 5 straight days off!!! I don't have much money but I need to find somethin cool to do!!!
After spending most of yesterday recovering, haha, just wanted to say I had a bunch of fun Friday night at the SGAZ party before getting sick 
. Still not exactly sure how I got to that point since I'd only had a few beers, maybe I ate something weird, who knows. For those of you who I didn't meet, yes, I was the guy puking in the bathroom in 314 hah. Hopefully we get to do something like that again!
Anyways, spent most of yesterday just chilling. Trying to think of something to get out of the house and do today, but I can't figure out what.

I'm feeling better tonight. Sorry I've been all over the damn place. For the most part I really can't help it. I'd like to be able to. Most of the time it's pretty normal. Every once in awhile it gets out of my control.
I think I'm going to do somethin crazy and go visit a friend in Wisconsin that I haven't seen since I was little. Probably a bit out of my normal m.o., but maybe that's what I need.
I love Green Day. Can't wait until the new album comes out! Just a taste for everyone.
