don't call it a comeback...

no, he's not dead...

hey all. yes, i'm back. it's been too long. unlike the rest of the people who read this, i tend to not post as much when i get stressed and i have a lot going on. well, i still have a lot going on, but the stress is much less than it has been in a long time. i'm not done with my masters just yet, but i'm one step closer. i'm in the final stages. soon, i'll be out in the workforce, substitute teaching and having a good time doing what i've been taught to do for almost a year now. it's about damn time.

so, how's things? funny you should ask. okay, so, as HEW mentioned, a couple weeks ago i had my first football game since october 3rd, 1997. i played more in that one game than i played my entire senior year. my coach my senior year was an asshole, i rode the bench for the most part. but, at this game i even got to run the ball. i ran for a first down and got the closest anyone on either offensive sides got to the goalline. i took the ball down to the four yard line, only to have a reciever get a 15 yard penalty the next play. our defense won the game for us, scoring twice with our kicker doing the rest of the job. the final score was your South Sound Shockers 16, the Umpqua Valley Knights 0. a shutout for our first game ever, not too bad. our next game will be here in oly i hope, maybe then some of you guys can come and watch. it's a lot of fun.

i have been a hermit these last few weeks and i have not gone out in such a long time! there are a TON of concerts coming and the clouds are parting for me and soon i will be back up there in the city that i love having the time of my life. i think that the time has come for us to all get together. i've said this before and have recieved little responce. but, i want to get together and totally throw down like we did so many times over this last year of mine. which means that dancing is a must, and karaoke is a definite possibility! the whole tribe needs to come! i say last year of mine speaking of my academic year (spring to spring). i need to put this year to bed, and i intend on doing it in grand style. this weekend is pretty much spoken for, but april is the month for us all to get back into the groove. i need to live it up before i turn 25!!! the quarter-century mark is on the way and i refuse to go quietly into the night.

so, major changes are coming. those of you who have stayed in touch know exactly what i'm talking about. those of you who don't, well...ask a friend.

needless to say, i miss you guys and i'll be back in seattle soon. my phones still work and i'm usually down for a good conversation! i hope everyone had a great st. patricks' day (i was working on my projects and had school the next day) and i hope that all travels went well. wish me luck on my travels this week!

till next time...

there is a light at the end of the tunnel and this time it's not the train...
