I think the reason I am so bad at journal keeping isn't that nothing ever really happens in my life, but that I've always approached online-hood as an ability to be someone else (one thing among many that I am crap at).

Seriously, I'm listening to The Weakerthans, why pretend I'm all Tom Waits all the time?

Years ago I dropped out of school certain that I was in love and that friends and relatives had no idea what was best for me. I moved from New York to Las Vegas to New York to Illinois before I realized that no matter where I moved my significant other and I were the same. So, hasta later, significant otherhood.

Now, after a couple of years of laboring and night-schooling I am a 'non-traditional' student. I am an old junior (ha.). The best part is that though it's embarassing to talk about having been married (gasp! you're how old?!) and now divorced, I am extremely happy with the way life is unfolding. I dig studenthood. I dug matrimony, I dug vegas, I dig the experiences I've had.

So, having none too much to be bitter about, it is hard to be edgy-hip. Even when I try really REALLY hard. I dig SG though. The girls are hot, the pretentions on the boards are usually pretty funny and there are many people on here that seem to have their shit together enough to be pretentious and okay with it. Besides, I stay hip to all the new lingo and nothing is more fun than getting wierd looks when I break out the latest phraseologies.

I guess the point is that my journal isn't very interesting in the tortured soul, midday television sense, nor in the 'holy shit, that guy's pretty smart' sense. Still, probably there are other mediocre folks out there just like me and, if so, I intend to meet you and read your mediocre journal and I expect only that you return the favor. You can leave comments or not and in those possible comments use superlatives and smileys or not, and that will all be okay. After all, this is just a website, and you are just a figment of my imagination, however real you think you are.
