OOO, the real world!

Well...it has been quite awhile since I actually updated this.

This marks the beginning of an interesting year. Normally about this time, and by normally for the past 17 years of my life, the end of August means a return to school, be in elementary, middle, and high school, or back to the university. 74% of my Augusts have been spent returning to something.

This time, not so much.

New house, new roommates, new city, new friends, new schedule, new jobs, new expectations, new worries, new concerns. But hey, that's part of it, right? This whole growing up thing that we are all expected to do at some point in our lives. I'm just lucky this isn't the 1600s. Growing should have taken place when I was 15. Or even in my great grand parents time, the early 1900s, I should have been married by now. I suppose that's just as good, because in my great grand parent's family I would have been a pariah (a dancing, traveling, non-religious, person who enjoys a good craft beer on a summer night had no place in the strictly and formidably devout South Baptist family).

I will curtail this. A real post of my usual boring and pretension will follow soon. I wanted to, and still do, try to keep this philosophical, inquisitive, or a good place for a short rant which even as a rant I want to be somewhat useful for my own thought process.

Welcome to the real world, me!
