my apologies

sorry everybody. i've been so caught up in random obligations and interests, i've forgotten to add anything on here. it's been almost a month. forgive my forgetfulness...i'm sure i'll get more consistent as i go along. at least i hope so.

well anyway, life consists of transitions and the anticipation of more transitions at the moment. and that's ok, i guess. it's just that life has never felt more "up in the air". i'm moving out of this house on thursday, because my roommate's about to get married. and it seems like all my friends are getting married, and i'm just getting more and more confused by the female species with each passing day. so yeah, i'm moving out, and into my parent's house. it's not a bad deal...free food, no rent, get to hang with Rocky (who's the greatest dog EVER), can do some fun stuff with the folks, and it's only for a month. they're even gonna pay me to move bags and boxes around. i'll need the change b/c this week is my last week at Puck's hellhole, thank God. that place...i mean i love the people, but the restaurant is the epitome of the overpromising, underdelivering fancy joint that is trying earn five stars but can't even live up to its creator's goofball name. anyway - 2 more days there and i'm, once again, unemployed. but hopefully by november i'll be moving in with my buddy casey, another transition, this time to south st.louis city. should be interesting. i'd really like to work at a bookstore down there, mostly so i can read and reduce my own book pile while i work. actually i'm really stoked to live with casey. a very cool guy, enjoys a deep conversation, can play a damn good game of chess, and asks me crazy questions like "nate, what are you lacking?" he asked me that last week, and just the thought-process that it elicited was humbling. more questions like that will be good for me.

with that, you're more or less caught up with the externals...i'll spill some guts and do the internal thing next time. right now i need some sleep - tomorrow's to-dos include the "change of address" protocol and some packing...so, goodnight.
