No updates from me lately, that’s for sure! Why? Well, I’ve been busy trying to look for a place to live up North. Getting a new job was great, but now I have to sell my poor domicile… unfortunately there seems to be little interest in a weird looking raised ranch in late summer/early fall. And I really can’t even look for a place effectively until I know when I can move in!
So far, I’ve been basically silent about the chaos going on in New Orleans. This however, sickens me.
Seriously, what the fuck? What kind of worthless piece of human filth murders and rapes refugees? I fully support the response to this madness. Shoot at helicopters and boats delivering supplies and searching for survivors? Shoot at hospitals? I hope they find every single waste of oxygen perpetrating this heinous bullshit, and kills them with extreme prejudice.
Today, My Real Estate agent came by and we discussed putting my house on the market on Monday. It was only on sale for a week before I bought it, so hopefully I’ll have the same luck selling it. To help facilitate this process, I spent three hours ripping up a strip of grass that’s up on a weird slant between my driveway and my neighbor so I can replace it with mulch and a few shrubs.
After two weeks of anxious waiting, the kind folks Leapfrog Online have offered me a position as a DBA. They’ll be sending the paperwork via FedEx, and every bit of this seems ultimately surreal.
Now all I have to do is sell my house, get a new place to live, transfer my insurance, and party until my head falls off! Woo freaking hoo!
Note: I found this while searching through some of my old writing. I think I wrote it two and a half years ago, but I’m not quite sure.
A slow wind caressed the night air, wisping through trees in a deliberate and focused delicacy. To those out that evening, it was a perfect setting for a long overdue escape into the wonderful breeze. The silence only broken by the snapping of dry twigs under the feet of two figures as they made their way through the old trail.
