Defending a lonely outpost?!?

Currently in Earphones: Tannahill Weavers IV by the Tannahill Weavers

Firstly, I'd like to direct your attentions to Preston's blog, which he has just started posting on again after finally moving into DC to attend Law School...

http://ready-fire-aim.blogspot.com/

Though he may say that he has nothing interesting to relate, I beg to differ, as his two new posts are full of excellent prose, not to mention the stellar job he and his brother did on the Rambling Rovers blog, which is a gem of a travelogue.

In the vein of people heading back to school, I once again find myself the odd man out as the majority of my friends in the Bay and those not attending UC Davis start heading back to class. While it may be nice to have the whole extra month of September to decompress, it sure as heck gets annoying when you're the only one around to enjoy it.

I almost wish school would start up soon, as I would have a dearth of friends to hang out with, and no doubt better things to relate in this blog of mine aside from lonely whinging and empty posts.

Actually, I do have a good work anecdote, possible the most interesting my work has been so far. But seeing as I'm currently in the middle of my usual small pilgrimage to the Bay for family visiting and boredom quashing, I think I'll leave that to the next post when I'm more firmly settled back in Davis.

'till next time, then!

First of all, the lighter news, Yes. Yes "Tonight We Shall Work" is original, of which I am extremely happy to know that people are duly impressed by my doggerel verse.

Secondly, my usual saw....


I couldn't keep the softness from my voice as I bid her farewell for the first time in ages.

What am I do to?

Had Enough of Empty

Enough of grief and sadness, it's time to move on. Time to let go and begin anew, step on to a new path, and stride forward. These old roads may have many a pleasant memory in them, but no more can be gained by treading them. While these new adventures could go good or bad, the new road shall give me renewed energy. And with that energy I can look forward instead of down, and perhaps smile again as the horizon of possibility comes back into view. Yes, it is time.


Enough, More Later.
