Well, I just logged into google reader and saw I&#8217;ve written ten journal entries since the last time I did. Whoops. Actually, I&#8217;ve been doing more writing that that elsewhere too.

I have my own photos somewhere of what I&#8217;ve been up to lately; I probably won&#8217;t remember it all until I pull them off the camera. But yeah, doing stuff. And you know, the stuff there are pictures of isn&#8217;t even the cool stuff. But that&#8217;s all relative, like <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkexist.com\/quotation\/put_your_hand_on_a_hot_stove_for_a_minute-and_it\/145963.html\">stoves and girls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I bought plane tickets for Shmoocon, deciding February just isn&#8217;t the right time to tack on a trip home. I&#8217;d like to wait until there&#8217;s less snow. We&#8217;re significantly less hindered by the snow back home than here, but it does make for a bit of a hibernation season all the same.<\/p>\n<p>Spent a long time today talking about how I feel. Not a long time. The usual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sing365.com\/music\/lyric.nsf\/Tuesday-Morning-lyrics-Pogues\/3D93B44E0748054A48256A260013AF75\">Tuesday<\/a> hour, actually. What do you do, when the things you&#8217;ve &#8220;built&#8221; were secondary? Can you &#8220;throw it all away?&#8221; What matters? Not my 401k. I&#8217;ll put my 401k down on that feeling I get when I&#8217;m hanging out with M mattering. I still have a 401k, right? I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t open that mail. If it doesn&#8217;t work out, would I regret not having the 401k, or if I didn&#8217;t try, would I regret not having tried? I sided with the latter. Material shit can be utilitarian shit, granted. I don&#8217;t know it is a matter of value, but a value of meaning. Am I blowing smoke up my own ass?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, how I feel matters and should steer me, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[boys|girls] suck, pick one.
