Yes indeed. Not only is today (Friday) DJDave's birthday, but tommorrow
is the birthday of my good bud and apartment-mate, Mike Peters. Take a
bow, boy...yer ancient now.
geez, Dave...like I'm not self-indulgent enough, you have to turn around
and continue to give me an "official" forum in which to spew my unending
shit. Well...here goes.
I graduated in May, only to start work with a small government
contractor in the Maryland D.C. suburbs. Not much money coming in, but
what the hell. It's paying the bills (just barely). Now that I've left
playing with the musical group that Dave so creatively dubbed "the band"
for the purposes of this site, I have lost most of my outlet for any
music making, which is driving me up a wall. The only musicians I know
in the DC area are already in a band or too busy with work and don't
play much any more. So the bass just leans against the wall gathering
dust.
While Mike and I saved up money to get out own place, he lived with his
dad and I stayed with several people, some of whom would rather not be
mentioned, and two of whom include Evolve folks Dave and Dale (about 2-4
nights at each place). While I have been a king moocher for a long
time, it didn't sit real well with me, so it was nice to actually move
out for real and pay my own bills (regardless of the fact that I had to
continue borrowing money to do so). I finished school out of debt to
anyone but mastercard and the beginning of June saw me picking up $2,400
in debt just in startup alone. Fortunately, Mastercard has forgotten to
send me the replacement for my now expired card so I can pay it off
without the temptation of loading myself with more debt (DO YOU HEAR ME,
YOU CREDIT CARD BASTARDS!! I WANT MY NEW CARD!!).
Let me address certain recent events. First of all, while I can't say
much for Kyle jumping the gun on his statement of intent to rush Alpha,
I do support him fully cuz he's a pretty hip little bastard (that's a
term of endearment...really). He's a good guy and Dave and Mike and I
had a blast with him in the 'burg the night we caught up with him.
I've got to go look for someone. I'm off-site at another contractors
and I need to find someone far more important than I.

I have decided to tone
down the random ranting and try to be a little more linear in my
storytelling.
For those of you who followed the UC last year, I'm the dumbass with all
the comic book pictures and music reviews in my posts. After watching
and being involved in numerous "creative direction" discussions with
regards to what might better attract readers, I have decided to tone
down the random ranting and try to be a little more linear in my
storytelling.
Allison and Ed...whoah...there's a wierd one. Can't say I didn't expect
it, but it's still a little funky to try and figure out. They're two of
my favorite people and I'm really happy for both of them. Extremely.
On the other hand, her relationship transition method has left several,
very pissed off people behind. Being friends with both of the men
involved in the situation is the main reason why I have mixed feeling
about the whole thing. So I'm gonna back off now before I step in any
more shit. I know who is allowed to read this and who isn't. For those
of you who are, if you have any issues with what I've said, please come
to me personally rather than making it an issue on the discussion board.
We had plenty of that crap last year and I don't want any anger stemming
from misinterpreted text on a web site.
