This evening's late night update is brought to you commercial free from the song styling "Judith (Renholder Remix)", by A Perfect Circle.
So it's only my second week back to work/class, and already things are in full swing. I have a Game Studio to oversee, paperwork and assignments coming out the yin-yang, and getting flack from people all around, and you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. It's an odd feeling, going into work everyday, feeling excited about what's going to happen. Not exactly something that happened to me on a regular basis back in university. But there is something definitely awe inspiring about working in an environment where you're challenged in every direction, and you can't get enough of it. Granted, that's not to say I couldn't do with more breaks and midday siestas, but you get what I'm saying.
Tonight I will be once again polling my small readership with a question, but this time of a far more personal nature. First, let me preface the question with a little background. I tend to think of myself as a friendly, sarcastic, loyal, and caring guy. I tend to think of my friends in the highest priority, and I love them all very much. However, lately, with some of my "closer" friends, I have definitely noticed some static from their end, whether it's not returning phone calls and text message to what appears to be blatantly ignoring my existence. Now, it's very possible I'm simply being overly sensitive to these issues, but I still can't shake the feeling that many of these actions are being aimed precisely at me, which is what raise my question of the evening:
How can you tell when a friend doesn't want to be your friend anymore, or better yet, how can you tell when a friend is being fair-weather and simply using you when is easiest for them?
I know this is a very open ended question, and I do apologize for that, but this is still a question that has been plaguing me for weeks on end. Call me paranoid, call me neurotic, call me what you will. I am only me, so I have to ask the question. So, dear readers, how can you tell when a friendship has become one side only?
Now, onto a happier note, I do have a good friend coming into town tomorrow night for a quick visit, which should be fun. We're going to check out a Cardinals/Cubs baseball game, and I'm going to introduce him to some of the finest grub to be found in Chicago. Speaking of, if you're ever in the area and in the mood for a burger, The Bad Apple is second to none. Great burgers, good people, and a beer list that would make any fraternity boy slobber with glee.
So, this is the current state of my life, small and sequestered as it may be. Hopefully I'll get some feed back to tonight's question. Otherwise, have a good weekend folks.

Good night everyone, and may you have dreams worth remembering.

A Perfect Circle rocks. Especially "Judith." I have seen TOOL in concert once. Maynard, is totally a unique, perhaps even weird little dude. You should check out his side project with actress Milla Jovavich (pardon my spelling). Anyhow, the band is called Puscifer. It is very haunting, but I love it!
