One Year, Six Months Later
Been a long time since I posted here, a long time indeed. Many things have changed since 2006. I asked Kat to marry me (wedding is in October). Robbie moved out, giving me sole residency of my home. I left Abtech and got back into web development. My mother sold her house and moved to Indianapolis for two years, now she wants to move back. I met Orson Scott Card at last year's Comic Con.
I've always tried to live my life in an existential fashion, never worrying to much about the future or the past. I still believe in this policy, but now I find myself having important life altering events on the horizon that I have to be mindful of and plan for, such as my wedding and the children Kat and I will have in the years to come. These are not things that can be taken as they come, you have to be ready for them.
I have used this blog for many things in the past, from my own emotional turmoil to my geekouts about numerous topics. There's two whole pages of entries that are nothing but film reviews. Sadly I don't get to the movies that much any more. Between the cost of going to the movies (we spent $18 for two of us to attend a matinee of Watchmen, WTF), and the lack of availability now that I work a 9-to-5, I simply can't afford to go to the movies. Not that there's anything interesting on.
When I imported all my old blog posts, I didn't bother to filter based on post category. Previously the site would only show posts of a personal nature if you specifically asked for them. I considered going back through the history and deleting the old posts about that topic, but in the interest of preserving my own history I have chosen to leave them in. Yes, I may be risking the chance that a future employer finds those posts and leaps to conclusions about the kind of person I am. That is a chance I am willing to take, for now. I can only hope that anyone viewing those posts recognizes that they were written years ago, by a young man very different from who I am today.
So, today we begin anew. I know not what I will write about here, but write I shall.
