Where Have You Been?, Part 2
It's been over 3 months since I posted a damn thing on this friggin site, I could think of at least two reasons why:
(1) A few days after the last post, I took a trip to Washington and came back as a nature lovin tree huggin hippie, going around the world to save all trees, coniferous and deciduous alike.
(2) When I wasn't saving the Amazon, I started reading The Lord of the Rings and all of a sudden I was in the millenium version of the 80s movie the Neverending Story. I was going onto the 2nd chapter when I stumbled upon a ring...and when I put it on, I disappeared. I realized that I needed to take it back to Mount Doom not only to save the world as we know it, but also to save the trees.
Wait...there's a 3rd reason...
(3) I lifted the self-imposed ban on posting stuff due to my right of free speech being violated. I figured, if people are going to tell me what not to write about on a private site, then I might as well make it a public site and have the whole world censor me (Like that, Kat, I'm back!)
Anyways, instead of the weekend updates, I'm going to move on...but sometimes in order to go two steps forward, ya need to take one step back. Reminiscing Moment, better watch out: That whole line about going backwards to go forward is so true. It was around this time last year (Flashback in Progress), when I said the same thing after losing my job. Not to mention other crappy things were going on in my life. It sucked. Life sucked. Feeling like a worthless piece of shit sucked. Going to the gym twice a day because that was the only productive thing I did well sucked. Then going to the bars and drinking yourself out of pity and then back into it sucked even more. Life went on though, and so did I. 365+ days later, I think about where I was, and where I'm at now and I can honestly say that I'm a better person because of the struggle and the triumph (geez, I meet the criteria of an epic hero, yeah it's all in my mind, but it's true, it's damn true). Like that Crystal Method song title, Keep Hope Alive.
Oh, the point of this story (Harsh end to the reminiscing moment): The unemployment website. The now defunct unemployment website that I created because I had spare time is what brought this whole blog about. Discussed strange but true things by putting a "satirical" spin on stuff that happened. My mind was in sync with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, I was living life like it was a really long South Park episode. Then I got a job and things got serious. Posts became serious and depressing. Let's not let that happen again, Otay Otwan?
The Daily Fact of the Day shall return. In the meantime, the typical blog breaker:
Song I'm Listening To Right Now: Figured You Out, Nickelback off their new CD: "I like the pants around your feet/I like the dirt that's on your knees/I like the way you look up at me/and the way you still say please/you're like my favorite damn disease." - Any song that starts out like a porno is bound to be a hit. This will hit the charts, I guar-run-damn-tee it
