Whew, been a while since my last update. Well, I moved out of the place I had been staying. My fears about my roommate being on crack seems to be right on, and she has gotten pretty bad. Actually, we were getting evicted anyways since she basicly stopped paying her half of the rent.
Luckily for me I have a really great friend who is letting me stay at his place as long as I need to get a new place of my own. He and his wife have been amazingly great. You should see the birthday meal she made for me (pics later)! A japanese themed meal and a nice bottle of sake as a gift. Oh, and a birthday cake. Man, how long has it been since I had a birthday cake lol? Ok, probably only a year, but it still feels special
When I told them about the conditions my ex roommmate's dog was living in, they even offered to let me keep it here if I wanted to go rescue it, which I did.
On the sadder news, my ex roommate is losing her son (Pierce) over all of this. I had decided that his dad had to know what was going on, as there was no way I could stomach the idea of a kid being left alone in that situation. It wasn't too bad when I was there, as he was always with me, and I made sure he had meals and didn't get involved with the other people coming and going in the house. I decided that just before I moved out I'd call his dad, but actually his dad called me before I had the chance, and so I told him all I knew, and all I was afraid was going on. Pierce had told me in the past he didn't want his dad knowing all of that, because he was afraid he'd never get to see his mom again if his dad knew, so it was a real hard decision to make in some ways, but also a real easy decision in other ways. Anyways, that was a few weeks ago, and since then Pierce has done really well at his dad's, even to the point where he know says he's glad I told his dad everything.
So, other than that, the only thing of note was my 33rd birthday, and man that really gets me thinking. Am I where I want to be in life, or am I heading that way at least? While I don't really feel old at all (and people often mistake me for being mid twenties) but I have to admit to feeling a little fear for the future. Mainly, it certain;y isn't getting easier to meet women as I get older is it? At my age it seems a LOT of women my age have either settled down or are in long term relationships, and the ones that aren't taken (that I've come across) don't share any of my interests. I have better luck finding interesting younger women, but I guess my fear is that I'm starting to get to an age where they may not see me as I see them (as date material). I'm also sooo tired of dating games lol.
Ah well, it's just birthday blues I think. After my life calms down some I'm looking forward to getting out more and meeting new people. I've been working out more lately, so by spring/summer I'm hoping to be looking a bit more buff

You sound like a great guy. I'm 24 next month, and I already feel like I've nothing to show for myself(except my 2 brilliant little boys). I don't think it's an age thing. I think if you're a person with high standards you'll always be somewhat dissatisfied with your own accomplishments.
As for dating, you shouldn't see age as a barrier. My husband was 32 when we got together(closer to my mother's age than mine yet more mature than her). Anyway what matters is that you can relate to where a person is comming from, have a similar background or view of things. If you have chemistry and a connection age won't matter.
Happy belated B-day.
