Up and Yuppie

My roommate and I decided to rent a new place out in the ol' Ruthie once more, and we decided we'd do it right this time. New building, new rent, new everything really. I'm pretty damn psyched about it. Change can be scary, but when it's your decision it feels so much better. I never really thought I'd find myself in a building like this because it's in many ways not like my personality at all. BUT, the place is right by the commuter train lines, has a gym, I get my own bathroom with a tub that will stay immaculately clean because of me, and finally, direct sunlight. Plus this place allows pets, so the good Dr. Holdo Boldo will soon be a dog owner. I had some serious reservations at first because I have for a really long time wanted to see what living in the city itself would offer to me. But, upon thinking a bit more, I decided that I really want to give this area one last chance. I've had enough drastic changes take place in the last two years to last me a good while. I wanted to make a change that was easier but still definitive. And so, by January 1 we'll see a new chapter. And if in a year's time I decide it's just not all that peachy, into the city, or another city, I go!

I saw Tool on friday night and it was the best damn thing I have done in so long. Holy lord almighty, I love that band and no one can top them live. Quite possibly one of the best shows I have ever seen.

This is my fellow co-president from high school and this is his adorable daughter. I randomly bumped into him in Madison Wisconsin last week on a business trip. The chances of that happening were extremely slim and yet, sure enough, there it was. I had no idea he was living there. Thinking about just how unlikely that was is sort of mindblowing. Life is pretty strange sometimes.
