We took a week vacation to head back to visit my family in Georgia. We’ve been in Houston for about 6 – 7 months now, so it was nice to go back and visit. It was also nice to get some much needed time off of work, and just relax. With days off accounted for too, I had more than a week of time off, but now we’re back and adjusting to life as usual again.

I might have had more to write, but I’m pretty sure I forgot it all. Until the next time I remember to post again, I’ll be doing the whole work, sleep, and eat thing.

The internet never sleeps, but I’d like to.

Where’ve I been? Work. FOR REAL. Also all around living, with the ups and downs of life. I haven’t spent near as much time online as I used to at home.

Am I still on social network sites? Nah, well, ish. I’ve been on Facebook, where most of the people I actually know seem to hang out. Twitter got to be dull after a while, though once in a while I throw a post in. That could always change again, but as humans we tend to move around like that. At least, the part of me that is human.

Wait, what? Don’t worry about that last bit. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

What would I do right now if I didn’t have other things to do? I’d probably optimize my blog, clean things up, and possibly work on testing some new scripts. Geeky internet things.

Why are you even making this post? Procrastination. Why else?

Happy New Year.

A void.

I’m not convinced that there really is a 4 AM. Sure, the clock reaches that hour. The hand continues to reach and reach until it finally hits 5 AM, when the flow of time and space are restored.

Nothing really happens at 4. Cold, fog, rain, heat, whatever is there, but the world is still. Sometimes I push it to 4:30 just because I have no reason to wake up at 4. I found a way to work that was a little quicker and I tend to skip my computer until I get home. It’s dark and the world exists, but there’s nothing there. At 5 I walk out the door and head to my car, where I sling my messenger bag and keyboard and energy drink into the passenger seat of the car and head off to the land of technical support.

Suddenly I’m transported to work. There isn’t much traffic at 5 AM on the path I take, even in this large city.

There is no spoon.

The world seems slow until the sun rises. I wake up around 4 each morning for 5 days out of the week, but I definitely enjoy the two days where I am allowed to wake up after the sun.

I listen to my iPod a lot at work. It just depends on what I’m doing that day, or what I’m in the mood to listen to. Sometimes I just listen to the activity around me, and sometimes I block it out with my iPod and escape into my work. I always work as hard as I can. After being without work for over a year, I wouldn’t know how to be lazy at work.

I like working early in the day and getting off mid-afternoon. It gives me some time during the day to exist. Middle of the day shifts just seem to stick you with this life where you have no time to yourself for 5 days out of the week.

I’m in the mood to do two things: Play SNES and watch Fight Club. Must achieve these things ASAP.

I have discovered Skull Candy earbuds. Half price on Black Friday at RadioShack, and their quality fits their name. Candy for your skull, indeed.

Life is not boring.
