Something I've been thinking about for a while is the future of this site. While I still have some interest in it, I feel it's served its purpose. Things have changed a lot and this has helped me in some ways. The past year has been the most unpredictible of my life and for that I'm happy. I'm mostly happy with where I am and though there's really no need to keep on doing this I'm going to keep it around, if for no other reason than to document it.
I have little inclination to add to it though I won't say I'll never be back. I have too much going on right now, with my work, school, friends, writing, and everything else that there's just no room left to write in here everyday. I'm not back in Roscoe Village miserable and wondering how I ended up there.
My move was the best decision of my life and things are going very well for me. This was meant to be therapeutic in a way and it's done that well. Until (if) I write in here again, I'll call it an indefinite hiatus.
I spent the morning reading of memorials and remembrances of what happened on Sept. 11th and I'm thinking of how things have changed because of that day. Not much has happened.
We have become more brutal, more cold, more apathetic and more unfeeling to those around us. We've become more self righteous and less informed. People were concerned and motivated to change things at first but soon fell in line and recited the mobspeak of those repeating what politicans have told them.
Politicians have used this event as a way to further their careers and ingratiate themselves with their constituents. It is used to twist people into accepting their illegal actions while people have used it to create manufactured feelings.
For the past few days I've been thinking about politics and how it sickens me. I don't want to think about it anymore. Perhaps the world would be better if there was true anarchy.
Spent the day helping a friend move. I'm tired, sore and exhausted. In the past few months I've moved several people and have become quite good at it. I'm still not used to being in the shape I am, I've always been healthy and fit but after I changed my workout and stuck to it I find myself stronger than I can remember. Today's move was much easier than I expected, probably because I didn't stop. Once I took a rest I felt like I couldn't move.
Now I'm here alone, it's only 8pm and I'm about to drop.
My iPod was returned to me with a new battery, new wheel and in better shape than it was before with no music lost. Unfortunately the wheel wasn't working and it had to be sent back.
Apple came out with a new 160G ipod that I'll be getting eventually. I've been running out of room on mine so that should work. Mine may end up becoming A's once I load it up with music. A birthday present? Maybe.
Speaking of which, not only am I tired and sore, I feel sick as shit. A has the same thing so I'm sure I got it from her. I know I got it last night after I spent the night in her bed. I've been sweating all day, hoping to sweat it out but that didn't work.
