Good evening, everyone.

To be honest, I'm not sure if anyone even watches this site anymore. So for any of my friends who are still out there and who pop by from time to time, this journal update is for you guys.

I realize that I haven't updated this page literally in years, so things have probably changed as much in your life as they have in mine - hopefully these changes were for the better.

For those of you who are interested, I'll give you a brief synopsis of my life currently.

-I'm working full-time now as a programming specialist (I program dsl and telephone lines). It's a job that caters very well to my geeky/nerdy tendencies and I love it. The people I work with are great and this is the first time I've been able to say "Wow, I love my job."

-I'm still single. I've had some forays into the dating world which haven't ended the best, but I've become a better person and I have done a lot of growing up due to these circumstances. Needless to say, I'm not as naive as I used to be but I'm not a cold-hearted cynic either. For the most part, I'm still my quirky "optimistic realist" self.

-I'm working on renting an apartment or small house with a friend soon. I'm both excited and nervous about this, but I think it would be a great opportunity for both of us.

-I have more tattoos (ooo, big surprise, right?). I only have three - the one on my back, one on my shoulder, and one on my right wrist of the triforce from Zelda (again, are you really surprised here?).

-My writing skills are rusty. To be honest, I'm unsure of if I'll start posting writings here again or not. This site seems to have become mostly oriented towards visual art - not that there's anything wrong with that, but as far as I've seen, writings seem to be a bit out of place here. I haven't made a definite choice yet, so we'll see. If you want me to post a few things, you're more than welcome to leave a comment telling me to get my rear in gear, lol.

I think that's about it. I mean, there have been some other changes but nothing ostentatiously noteworthy that I should write a novel about here. Things come, people go, life changes and you keep moving on.

I hope you guys are having a good 2013 so far.

Goodnight.
