Shakin the rust off

It's been a long time since I sat down and wrote anything for the pure enjoyment of it....A LONG TIME...I think I am just gonna take this time to vent a little bit and get some of these thoughts swirling through my head out.

I've moved to Atlanta.

I finally got out of WV. Nothing felt better. Although driving home from Atlanta and hitting the WV border as the sun was setting and listening to the sweet bluegrass of some Yonder Mountain String Band did bring some pangs to my heart...WV will always be my home, it's just not where I want to live.

Life finds me at a crossroads. Spiritually, I have never been stronger. Personally, I have never felt more lost. I know that everyone comes into our lives for a reason, I just wish we knew what that reason was. Women have always been the downfall of man, and I am no exception to this. One day, I am sure I will look back on all this and it will make sense. Until then, I shall continue to plod on blind as a rhino and hope the light finds me and it all becomes clear.

College was great. When I look back on that experience, it amazes me that I graduated, let alone with a graduate degree. I spent the last 3 years perpetually stoned and/or drunk, but mostly stoned. I have since moved past that stage in my life, but I don't think I'll ever turn a chronic-filled blunt down. Ass was easy to find in college...and I wasn't even in a fraternity. A big thanks to the friends that got me through those 5 years and a couple of misdemeanors. My diplomas just showed up in the mail, both of them, making it official. That's probably what spawned all of this trip down memory lane.

I'm getting older. Some friends are getting married and others becoming mothers, and some a little of both. If only we could go back to the days when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the shit and you were cool if you had the van that shot pizzas. I find my sisters generation is going to take after the 80's. Why in God's name, I do not know. But look at them...all walking around wearing black and chains and listening to the shittiest music I have ever heard. We took after our stoner parents and Woodstock...which means Marijuana will be legal in the US before I die of old age...mark it down...but some prayers for the younger generation..it seems they are lacking for attention across the board...

Wrappin this one up so I can go drink...nothin like avoiding your problems for a night, huh?
