I've been bad.
Blogging proves to be difficult for me. I find that I have arguably little free time, and what I do have, I do not want to spend talking to no one about myself. However, since I've been poked and prodded to kindly get my shit together and/or be more social, I must oblige.
To wrap up my previous blog, I no longer volunteer for the Pit Bull rescue. As it turned out, the founder had very little interest in adopting his 20+ dogs out to worthy people, but rather keep them to himself, complain about all the work he did for the dogs, and judge every single person who offered one of the rescue pups a home. He also greatly enjoyed trying to frighten me with graphic stories of animal abuse. Since I was not allowed to see or work with the dogs, and my entire volunteer capacity was to promote a poorly named education program about how to interact with dogs, I decided to move on. It's unfortunate that this rescue is run by a hoarder, and that the breed will continue to suffer at such a moron's hand.
(To clarify, he's not doing physical harm to the animals, or I would report it. He's just being an ass.)
I also did not shoot a set. I tried to find a photographer, and the timing was right. For me, the moment has passed, but maybe it will return.
On to the new!
It's almost film festival time again! Per usual, I shall be volunteering for this fine event. Should any of you fine SGs and fans be in the Madison area come April 18-22, see a film! I'm very excited, and anxious to see the film line up.
Currently, I'm pulling the final pieces together for my big summer trip. I will be headed to Portland for a road trip! I saw that because I'm flying to Portland, then renting a car. Sounds irrational, but the purpose of the trip is actually the Sasquatch Music Festival. My mind decided, "While I'm in WA, I should see the Pacific Northwest sights!" So we are. I"m at the point where I'm sick of planning, stressed on details, forgetting things I know, and I would just like to get there already!
Finally, I am hugely single. By that, I mean I'm so single, I may have revirginized. Women pay big money for this when they could simply go without for a bit. I suppose this is another example of always wanting what you don't have. I want money and sex (not for sex), and they want to be poor virgins. Pfft.

The pit bull guy does seem like an idiot, like he needs attention himself which is the reason to run the shelter. I'm sure there were many suitable candidates to adopt a dog.
I may try to get up that way to check out some of the films. My cousin lives near Madison in Oregon, so I have a place to crash if I don't feel like driving home.
Have a good time with the trip to the northeast. I used to go to BC.to go mountain biking every year, don't know why I stopped.
I recently became single myself. Although some people think single is the way to be and have their reasons why I don't. It may be easier in some ways, but having someone there for you for support, possibly love, and to confide in about life and what it's pitching at you is a comfort I like having, and to have somebody to share everyday life with is nice.
Dougrun: Who says relationships always have to be complicated? I feel like romantic comedies and society at large make people feel like relationships have to be complicated and dramatic and outlandish to be authentic. I'm not one to blame society or any faceless entity, but for whatever reason, if someone isn't yelling, something is wrong when it comes to relationships, and that is not my style.
DarkRiver: The film schedule is available on Thursday, and ticket sales start on Saturday. Let me know if you end up seeing anything good! I won't be seeing many (if any) films this year because I'm volunteering so much. You may see me running around at some point though. And I agree with much of what you said about singledom. I prefer to have someone to simply exist with. Someone who makes the silence comfortable. That's probably the most important quality for me when looking for a partner: can we sit silently together and still enjoy each other's company. In the end, if you enter into a long term relationship, you can't and shouldn't talk every second of every day, so silence is very important. If you feel awkward, as if the silence is crushing you, then you're not meant to be. My opinion, anyways.
