I'm pretty sure nobody reads my blog and I can't say that I blame them. My postings are on the bland side as I really don't have anything juicy at the moment happening in my life at the moment. My life is my new job and a ton of freelance that has found its way to me recently. I do manage to play at least once on the weekend, usually on a Friday night, where you can find me three sheets to the wind at my current favorite drinking hole 'BAR NORFOLK". It's a 18 and up dance club with scantilly clad bartenders (the female ones) which is part of the lure for a lonely guy like me. I used to frequent BAR CHARLOTTE when I was living/working in North Carolina last year so the conversion when I moved to Virginia last December wasn't too painful. I've managed to sustain my mutant power of invisibility when I go out but my spin on that is that when I do go out, it's never based on meeting anyone for any reason. It's all about unwinding from a long work week by drinking and dancing (mostly solo). I'm not going to slip into one of my belly aching bitch fests about how life sucks without anyone to share it with and all that jizz...but it's still something that concerns me and can't help but wonder how much longer it will be before I acually will hold a girl's hand again and maybe even kiss her!? It's been three years since my last girlfrind and I can imagine another three slipping by just as uneventful. I hope not.

Well, since I last wrote, I witnessed a man on a bicycle plow into a moving car. I received about one hundred bucks from my previous insurance carrier (I thought I owed them a payment). Let's see...what else...? I'm taking a trip to my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio this weekend-haven't been there since Christmas and plan on having a good time hanging out with friends and family. I need this little break as I've been very busy at work and segway right into freelance projects as soon as I get home in the evenings. Better busy than bored (not to mention the extra scratch!) That's really all that's gone on since I last blogged-in. I'll try and do something interesting soon...

Thirty seven years ago today, I took my first breath. Kinda hard to believe that time has passed by so quickly. Birthdays, for me, now have become a time of reflection. They are now a road marker-to help assess what exactly I have or have yet to accomplish. I'll be using this blog for several things. One being a place to vent my frustrations and personal views about my life (and life in general) as well as any good stuff that happens along the way. I'd like to unfold my life, in a summerized, auto biographical, Cliff's Notes sort of way as I believe it may give some insight on my current state of mind to anyone who cares to read my postings.
