There must be something in the air...

...some kind of answer to my prayers

Well, here goes. I've had this wordpress blog for about a year now, and have yet to actually leave a post up for anyone to see. Today's the day we change that. I figure I write this crap anyway, I may as well do it the new-fangled way and let everyone else (who knows it's here) read it too.

The fact that the theme I chose is called "Quentin" is somewhat worrisome. If I'm anywhere near as neurotic as my theme's namesake, I'm in far worse shape than I previously thought.

To catch up, and bring the internet up to speed with the things revealed in my recent writings that are trapped away in an old fashioned journal, here's where I currently stand in my life situation: I am attending YSU this spring--18 hours worth of classes on the track to becoming a high school language arts teacher. It's something that I kept coming back to, and a recent night spent with a close friend helped to realize that it wouldn't be so bad. I am also coaching baseball again, and this time I'm getting paid. Any migration back to the South has been put on hold--at least until I can cash my $2,000 check for coaching, which I figure would be enough to keep me afloat until I could find a job in my new locale. At least in a few months I will have the freedom to decide on way or the other. Time will tell which way it'll go.

I've also realized that I might as well forget trying to plan things in the future; I can't see that far ahead. It's all I can do to see a month or so in front of me, so I've decided to focus on that. Sure, it might end up screwing me over, but it's a chance that I really have no choice but to take.

I am fucking thrilled to be starting school and coaching soon. I have been bored. It has been a long few months. Life is better when it's full.

"When I was a boy, I said to myself that I'd never lean on anyone else..."

Peace.
