Tonight's background music of choice is "Different Names for the Same Thing", by Death Cab for Cutie.

I know it's been two weeks since my last post, and I am sorry for that, but there has been a lot of things going on in my life. First and foremost, it was my birthday last week, woot woot, so that was fun. As a present to myself, I ended up flying to Washington, DC for the weekend to see a lot of my friends. As I barely know anyone in Chicago now, friends are definitely something I realized I took for granted when I had them all around me.

Also, this has been a very busy for me and my work, getting a lot of stuff done for our new game. It's been hectic and busy as all get out, but a complete blast at the same time, so at least I have that to lean on.

Which brings me to tonight, which is what finally got me off my ass and back on the site. I ran a bunch of errands today, and then when the night rolled around, I realized I really wanted to go out and have some fun. So I called up the few people I do to see if they wanted to do something. No response from anyone. I then decided I would just go out myself and have a good time that way. I mean, we've all seen those guy and and girls that are out by themselves, just chilling, but obviously have a great time nonetheless. Yeah, turns out I'm not one of those people, not by a long shot.

This brings me to my thought for the night. I'm only in Chicago for another six to seven months, and then I'm out of here to places unknown, once again to start all over. And if there is one thing I realized from my night out tonight, trying to have a good time and meet people, and maybe even a special lady or two, because I am guy after all, it's that I really need to work on me. There are a plethora of issues I've been dealing with this past year, whether it's not cleaning up after myself, not being organized and proactive in life, or even letting myself continue...

There are a plethora of issues I've been dealing with this past year, whether it's not cleaning up after myself, not being organized and proactive in life, or even letting myself continue to get in worse and worse shape. It was when I was sitting over my Guinness tonight, alone, in a crowded bar, that this is the best time I could have to work on these issues.

I'm not here long. My roots in this city are temporary at best. Other than work, I have almost distractions currently in my life. Finally, I just turned 24. I am officially in my mid-twenties, and it is just upon seeing that in writing that this has hit home. So, I am now taking it upon myself to change my life, change me, for the better, starting with getting back on a diet and getting my head screwed on right. Also, completely unrelated, but I'm also gonna start saving up money for that Fender Telecaster that I've been wanting for ages. Hopefully this goes well and doesn't blow up in my face. But hey, now I've written on the internet for everyone to see, so this has to work.....right?

Good night everyone, and hopefully this will work out this time.
