The title is a bit melodramatic, but I figure that's kind of what I'm doing. I'm not starting over a totally new leaf in my life or anything… Rather, I'm correcting the leaf I've been trying to lift for the last couple months by going back to the lifestyle I feel most comfortable in. There was a comment made to my last entry, and I'm not talking about little_whips very odd comment that couldn't have been more off the mark, though I can definitely see where he got it. However, the comment that I'm referring to was made by Floozie (interesting name, by the way): "The problem being that you only find them when you're ready which is not necessarily the same time as when you want to." The comment really struck a chord with me, though I'm not sure if what I took away from it was really what she was shooting at, but whatever.

I don't really enjoy being uber-social. I mean, I like going out to the occasional party, but I'm not a big every day of every weekend partier. I like going once a month; though, more often is ends up being once every couple months. I really just enjoy being able to do my own thing. I mean, I'm a little college boy! Homework withstanding, if I want to just fuck around on a Friday/Saturday night and play video games or get addicted to a new TV show (which, by the way, I have two new recommendations: The Office and The Shield), I should be able to. At this point in time, I just want to live my life the way I enjoy. I'm just not "ready" for any type of "real" relationship.

I really want to graduate from college, get a full-time job, a nice apartment that I can plan on living in it for a few years, and then simply let my life fall into place as it does. I mean, if I happen to find "the right girl" somewhere along the line, so much the better. I'm generally considered a "good friend" by girl; which I really enjoy for the most part.

With this decision, has come another decision: I'm done blogging about my personal life. I thought about doing this a while ago, and quit writing about my personal life for a long while. This time, though, I'm done for the foreseeable future. Hope you've enjoyed the aspects of my personal life that I did share. Also, this is by no means an indication that I'm DONE blogging; I'll still write about movies, games, etc. I'm just done spilling my personal life for everyone to see.

I am Jack's mending heart and relaxed frame of mind.

Perfect cats are an exception... You see, because there is no such thing as an imperfect cat.

I used that line as a heading for an when I left my last job....only one person knew it which was sad.
Anyway, sounds like you've just taken a turn on to a different road with your blogging. It can be hard to stay on the same subject at times as you get times when the topics dry up. hope you find lots of good stuff on your new 'road' and look forward to reading about it soon.
