Things Change

It’s February, already. I’m glad that January is over and now it’s time to move on and start looking towards the future.

I’ve been hold off on this since because I didn’t want it to sound like some half-baked New Year’s resolution, but I’ve been in the process of making some great life changing decisions. The first was that I serious cut back on my red meat intake. Hopefully this will keep me away from Sickie-Deez, so it’ll keep some extra money in my pocket and drop some pounds off my gut.

I’m cutting back on frivolous spending. I think the announcement that I bought a 5th generation black iPod aka “Black Like Me” may have pissed some people off. But that was my last major purchase of the year, that and the RAM, I need to replace and the powerbook repair fees.

The last two changes kind of go hand in hand. First, I’m paying off a lot of stuff on my credit report, including my student loans. After the accident and the robbery, I’ve been playing the role of the victim and fell behind on somethings. And while my reports doesn’t look too good, its definitely fixable with some time, patience and hopefully a full time postion. And since I’m paying off some loans by May, I should be back in school this fall. I know that’s something my mom will be happy about. She wanted me to drop my current job to go back, knowing that I can’t get financial aid, because my work schedule didn’t alott any time for school. But that’s a story for another day. Essentially, I’m starting a 4-5 year plan. By the time I’m 30 I want a house, a master’s degree and live healthy & comfortable and that wasn’t going to happen with the way I was living.

Forgive My Mess

I really can’t help myself, I went ahead and upgraded to WordPress 2 RC which effectively killed have of my plugins. And not even the superfical ones like comment counter but the necessary ones like Bot-Check and phpexec. So with sans functionally and getting spam every hour I felt like a change. Yeah I know I just finished butchering up my Kubrick template a few weeks ago, but as much as I like a minimalist look, all that white looked too BLAND. So here’s a new masthead and a new background. By the way did I mention that I scraped my sidebar?

This was somehting that my fraternity brother wrote for me recently.

Abel by J.R. Rhodes (9/17/05)

He is a mystery man or at least he appears to be, because he takes the time to understand the circle of men he wants in his circle. Candid in mind yet expressionless to those he draws near, a catalyst which separates the best from the worst and pain from all our ears. He’s a man, friend, brother of worth who dares to achieve, dream and succeed. He sleeps and thinks with his head facing north. He is able and willing and the man we all want to be…

I’m not longer that 19 year old, worrying about my next paycheck from Purdue, trying to balance getting ass and going to class. I’ve written about my first heartbreak to my to my first car. I’ve been doing this for five years and yet every post always seem like my first.
