I am sick of trying.

Not having money means not going to concerts. That's why I am trying to get my own radio show on my campus station. Already made a PSA that sounds silly but is at least a good platform for my voice. Here's to hoping. DJ + 1 ftw.

Worst week ever. Apparently I ruined my gf's b-day. Isn't that nice? Additionally everyone else is pissed off at me. And why shouldn't they be? Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"So what are you guys talking about?", Rhona inquired.

"Nothing, just the meaning of life.", quipped Errol matter-of-factly.

And with a familiar disdain which suggested a longstanding dialogue, of which I was not a part, she replied, "Oh God, not that again!"

Maybe you just had to be there but I still think it's quote-worthy.

So, I have been bad at keeping my journal current and it's only going to get worse. In 4 days I travel to Ecuador for a month followed by a week in the Galapagos Islands. I'm going down there with a program called HelpLearnDiscover HLD...ecuaexperience.com to do some good while brushing up on my Spanish. It should be incredible and as excited as I am, I am also somewhat apprehensive about traveling. Hopefully, in so much as they're all silly, my worries will disappear once I'm on the road or rather in the air. In any event, I'm one lucky kiddo. So anyways, my apologies if I am remiss in updating my journal for the next month or so; let that reflect well upon my time down there and not poorly upon me.

Today I am 26 and don't I feel old.

What can I say? I'm back because you are all too special to just forget about. More shortly.

So I've decided not to renew my SG membership which expires today. I just wanted to write this and say goodbye to those of you who I've been fortunate enough to get to know; hopefully you know who you are and you will contact me on facebook or through Jocelynn.
Much though I've had a blast meeting and befriending many of you, I find I simply have no interest in the site itself anymore. Whereas in the past I derived great amusement from killing time with my amigos in chat, recently it has become hard to deny that the site is so oversaturated with new members that the once intimate chat community I so revered is now an insufferable gong show. I suppose there's more to it than that. I mean it certainly doesn't help that my regional community, SGBC, probably couldn't be any lamer or organized any worse. My gf, best friend and his little brother comprise larger gatherings than half the SGBC meets I've been so naive as to attend expectantly. It's not just that though. This site used to be something greater than it is now. It used to be niche, now it's clearly more concerned with mass appeal and maximizing profits which is not to say anything of the fact that the staff make no attempt to conceal how little the individual subscriber matters to them. Furthermore, the few sets I have had the time to look at recently have appeared unoriginal, uninspired and ultimately unsatisfying.
To sum up, some of you rock, most of you suck and this site would be well served to return to it's roots lest it become a sad cliche symbol of counterculture. Until then or until money grows on trees. Later gang.

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last!

So, I finished my last term paper today, wrote my last exam a day ago and am at last free of the scholastic life. I have 3 weeks of sheer bliss and relaxation to look forward to before heading back to school for another long haul. I think I just creamed my pants.

In other news, life is going well; my love life, academic life and social life are exactly where I want them to be. Give me a pet marmoset and I could die a happy man.

Another day, another dollar, so why bother? yadda yadda.

The woman I love does not get my sense of humor.
