And no, that's not a typo.

DATING: After two and a half years(ish) of sleeping with whatever women caught my fancy I've decided to start dating again.

Probably the worst idea in history.

I'm willing to start 'dating', which is a term I haven't used in a long time. I'd always call it 'hanging out', which sounds more like video games and beerpong than long nights of watching movies and sex, but it worked for me.

Now I will try to go on a date, which will be 'interesting'. Like the educational 'interesting' which means 'stupid'.

See, I've now read books on dating and relationships and all that jazz. I know what I should do to keep a relationship strong, and all that other stuff.

I'll probably see how quickly I can torch a good thing.

OTHER STUFF: I'm done with community service, which, in theory, gives me more time to write, but in actuality means I have more time to play video games and fantasy football.

It's odd that the nerd in me responds favorably to fantasy sports. Maybe it's the gamble.

My dead Friend: Didn't stay dead, we hang out now, we're both clean, him of drugs and me of alcohol, and we may be doing a side project together, if our schedules will ever match.

And my job is cool. I'm finally getting the hang of it, and I'm done with the work portion of work for the rest of the year.

You read that correctly, until the first full week of January. That freaking rocks.

I almost torched this account, just to start something different, I still may, we'll see how I feel.
