I'm back.... and moving day is tomorrow!!

[22 Dec 2005 | Thursday] 

Okay, so let me start by saying that my hard drive was fucked hard and ended up giving me a really bad headache. Long story short: it's gone, replaced by a backup I had stashed away, and I am now back in the saddle again so to speak. Now to the news: after a week of delays, we are finally getting into our new home tomorrow. Turns out that the big time will be at 7pm. It's weird and I still don't know what it is I am supposed to be feeling. I've lived at my current residence for the better part of 14 years now. I've shared good times and bad, made love to a lot of women, and cried myself to sleep in desperate lonliness here. I discovered the wonderful worlds of sex, puberty, and depravity here. It's just odd. I turned to my sister just a few minutes ago, saying, "in less than 24 hours, that place over there will be our new home." It's surreal. Really. For those of you that are unaware, Pam and I are no longer an item. Again, that's another patch of weirdness. I still don't know how to feel about the whole thing. One part of me is sort of hurt (but I think that's more coming from the fact that I've heard that she's already seeing someone new; being replaced so easily is never a good feeling), while the other part of me sees this as an inevitable end and one that will neccesitate a completely new beginning. Time to turn the leaf, so to speak. That being said, I am officially announcing my reintroduction into the dating pool. Ladies, gird your loins because the awkward turtle is back on the prowl. Let's just say that I am quite hopeful as we head into the new year. There were a lot of ends in the past couple of weeks, but that should only open the door to new beginnings. See ya'll at Rod's to ring in the new year. Here's to hoping someone has been harboring a hidden crush on me and is going to announce their feelings with a great big kiss at the stroke of midnight! Hey, it could happen!
