Well I'm back. Sorta. At least I'm not giving up on this blog because I do really enjoy the interface and the fact that only my good friends know about it--so I don't have any totally random comments from Joe Shmoe.

In other news, I hate money. Boo on money. When you have it, you have to spend it on things; when you don't have it, you need it to spend on things. Boo. Also, college. Why does it need to cost so damn much? I wonder how much of higher education could be paid for by the government if we cut the defense budget?

Classes and a clean slate?

Classes have started up again and that means that Maverick has gone from spending 70% of his time working to spending 50% of his time in class and 20% of his time working. Basically, the same amount of free time--considerably less money in my pocket. So on the lack of money note, I'm going to try and find a bartending job starting next week. The hours should fit my schedule just fine, and the extra income should be most awesome.

I've gotten a tattoo since my last post. I promise I'll get a picture up on here as soon as I get new batteries for my digital camera and take a picture.

It's also kind of weird. 'Cause whenever class start up again, you get that feeling like you're starting fresh. Maybe it's just something in the subconscious hoping that people will have forgotten (and/or forgiven) all the stupid shit you did the year before. Unfortunately the reality is that the people that you really wish would forget haven't forgotten. The reality is that if you did something major league stupid (like I did last year) that you really need to find some way to make it up to those people, or they'll always hold it against you. And even that is based on the optimistic assumption that you can do something to make it up to them. So I guess all you can really do is try to make it up to people when you fuck up, but realize that maybe you simply can't and that you need to go on with your life, being the best person you can.

Bachelor Returns

Well I am officially single again. Not necessarily through the means I would have liked, but the same outcome regardless. The other positive note is that Jessi and I both agree that we're probably better off this way--as friends.

I also think I'm going to get back to work on my novel. I haven't touched it in over a year, and I really should sit down and do it. I might even do that tonight after work... unless I end up hanging out with someone else. >.<

Well I think I'm long overdue for an update on here, what do you think? I think I'll have to get back in the habit of trying to post on here at least once a week. A little routine is always a good thing. Speaking of things I need to do, here is a small list of things I'm going to try to get done before classes start:

• Get a tattoo
• Start lifting/working out again
• Order parts for the computer I'm going to build
• Get a 2nd job in the Eau Claire area that won't conflict with my class schedule

Okay, so I'm sure there's some other stuff, but this is all I can think of right now. Basically the point is that I need to motivate myself a little more. Unfortunately, I can't really count on my current girlfriend to help motivate me, so it'll have to come from the depths of my dark little soul. Now, where did I put that...

Bum Bum Bum!!

Well, I suppose it's official now: Tina hates my guts. I don't know what the fuck I did, but I'm not going to spend hours/days trying to figure it out.

In other news, Aerthos (aka yours truly) needs to get his arse out and start applying at the various drinking establishments in town to see if he can get a job as a bartender. Knowing Eau Claire like I do, that would be some really nice cash--and it wouldn't conflict with classes OR working at Wilson's. Well, aside from less sleep; but I can handle that!! =D
