Missing in action....

Welcome back. I have gotten over my illness that ruined my last couple weeks. I have began to return to normal operating mode. I have also decided to relocate. I am planning on moving in the next few weeks. I want to get away from city life. I am going to have to deal with a long commute, however the freedom and solidarity I will gain will hopefully make it worth it. If not I will just move back. I want to try it….
That being said, I think this change will free up much time for me to get back to my painting and creative side. I do not plan on having tv in my new living area. I want to be as technologically isolated as I can. I will be taking a computer so that hopefully I can continue graphic designing. But other then that I want no distractions from my painting.
Since I have not mentioned girls for a long time I figured I should throw a quick update up. I am currently still single. Once again it is mainly by choice. I have came across a number of girls that I probably would have no problem pursuing. However, this would require me to compromise my true wants and goals. I would like to get a little closer to my career goals before getting back into a committed serious relationship. I did go out the other night to see the local nightlife and meet up with friends. I went to one bar and had a beer while watching my old college basketball team play on tv. After that I went up to the local Indian casino. I ended up winning. I left before giving it back, but on my way back to the bars I got pulled over. Apparently the officer claimed to smell alcohol on me, from the other side of the car. Now I only had one beer and it was two and a half hours prior to being pulled over. So I knew this was somewhat B.S. I had to submit to the field sobriety tests and a Breathalyzer test only to be handed back my license and told to drive safely. Now I started thinking about it when I returned to my car, that the officer never gave me a reason why I was pulled over, just that once he asked for my license registration and insurance he smelt alcohol. He did not claim I was driving funny or anything…. So now I am curious if it was even a legal reason to pull me over, with no suspicion or reason except after the fact…. Well no big deal, I get pulled over all the time, so if it is harassment I am used to it. I think in the 7+ years that I have been driving I have been pulled over approximately 18 times. Now most would say that I am a bad driver, but on the contrary I am usually not doing anything worthy of a ticket, I think I am just a young male and look like I am doing something wrong… So pulled over a ton of times and only two tickets… and both of them are really questionable…
Back to the point of the story: after the police encounter I returned to the bar, which in my absence had become quite busy. I noticed some people I knew. I went up and started socializing when an ex that I had not seen in awhile noticed me and came up and started talking to me. Casual conversation, “how are you?’ “what are you doing now?” etc. Then she proceeded to introduce me to this other girl she was with who I had already noticed earlier. The second girl was another ex that I have not seen for many years. So the first girl was like this is “____” and we both were like , “ we know each other. “ First girl gets busy with other stuff. I talk to my other ex. She remembered me breaking up with her, which I am sure was not the case. We argued about that for a while. I must admit she was looking very good after all these years. However, I did not want to take the chance of pushing for anything, so I told her I was going to leave. She mentioned hoping to see me around (she has recently moved back from elsewhere), I mentioned that it is inevitable, and made my exit. I became very confused as I had a desire to pursue hanging out with this girl, but at the same time I am not ready for that, as mentioned above. Well… I am back and healthy so I will be back to dayly updates, until I move.
When I move I am moving into the mountains where internet is not an option, so I may not be able to keep up on it…. We will see…
Also, all of my bookmarks were erased recently and so I have no way to re-find all my daily reading, so if you read this and want me to read yours leave a comment and I will update my bookmarks….
