I know, this is so exciting. My second blog. A chance for all my SG friends to bask in the psycho-rockabilly-cluster-fuxor that is my life. All two of you.
That's ok though, when I go on to amass thousands of SG minions/friends, you fine folk can look back and say that you were there in the beginning, back before The Horror started. Of course you'll be saying this to your fellow slaves as you labor in the copper mines to extract the precious metals I need to fully armor my hordes of war-rhinos.
But I am getting ahead of myself.
It has been a little over a year since my arrival in Las Vegas, and I've slowly come to a realization. That I am about 5-7 years behind on the "Maturity Curve". What I mean by that is I am just now, at age 27, actively pursuing interests and life paths that most 20 year-olds engage in. As an example, I am just now seriously thinking about learning to ride a motorcycle. Isn't that something I would have said yay or nay to back in college? Also, where I am right now economically speaking (lower-mid level of a retail store at the Forum Shops squeaking out about 20 grand a year) is more apt of a guy who isn't old enough to go into a strip club. Not that I've done that either, though that's more a personal preference than anything (I can't help but believe I'd just talk to the girls all night as opposed to seeking out lap dances).
Of more importance, however, is where I am intellectually. I'm just now really exploring areas that interest me via books, reports and scholarly journals (you know, that crap you're supposed to want to do when you're in college and paying for the privilege?). I'm also taking my first tenetive steps into the minefield that is Intelligent Conversation: plying researched and informed opinion and having it tested and countered by your peers. It's all so new to me, but I can't shake this feeling that I'm late to the party.
Well, there's my rant. Here's some Tim Minchin for ya.
