You know how I do; I go through ups and downs with this blogging shit. I'm not the type of president that can write all the time. I frequently feel like I have nothing to say that hasn't been said. We're all supposed to be unique snowflakes, but of course we're not.
I haven't been writing mostly because of life. Shit happens as they say. My days in the 'Lou have been a little too drama filled for my own taste. Unfortunately a good deal of it self-inflicted. Bad decisions & no decisions can fuck up a life quick. Things are much better now. Though my love is leaving me for a summer in Ghana. I'll be dolo 'til August.
I have never lived alone. I've never wanted to except for the few months I had a couple of really, really annoying roommates who were worse than having no around. We'll see what happens. This isn't my town or home in anything more than the physical sense. Not sure it ever will be. Almost everyone I know here is someone who goes to school with Amelia so it can be awkward and lonely at times. Lot's of folks from other parts of the Midwest too. Not that I'm hating but not exactly "my peoples" if you know what I mean. Most people are gone for the summer too on top of it all so it's not like there will be so many folks to get to know outside of the law school connection context. A few folks I know & like will be here though like Joey.
Starting school in the fall gonna try to bust this shit out () in 2.5 years. Changing careers at 30 is harder than I thought it would be. 30 isn't old to be making this change. I've realized though that I've been making decisions for 10 years based upon always being in the restaurant business. Now as I try to make the switch a lot of decisions are coming back to bite me. It's not easy and it'll be a little harder w/o the lady to lean on for advice at the drop of a hat but I know I got this:
Anyways I will be trying to blog at least 3 times a week. That shit about blogging everyday prolly will never work for me. Sometimes I just don't feel like it and I ain't getting paid so what the fuck. Right? I'm also thinking about turning Amelia's "blog" into a food blog. It's something we have discussed before and as you can tell she's not using it. Who knows though I've got a lot of things I'd like to do this summer from visiting a friend in Denver to taking a trip to Memphis to painting and actually putting clothes away (mostly hers, ugh). I hoping for an at least mildly transformational summer. Who knows maybe by the end I have learned to swim, drive and be posting multiple times a day. Don't bet money on that last one.

It's been a long time, you shouldn't have left us, fam. Welcome back to the blogging game.
Sounds like you've got a lot coming down the pike, especially the impending career change. And living alone ain't so bad. I wouldn't want to live away from the First Lady but, eh, doing what you want, when you want, is pretty cool too.
I'm on and off this train so much. There is a lot I want to accomplish in the next few months let alone the next few years. Start small, right? Be the change you want to see in the world as Ghandi said.
