The Events that are: My Life

Things that go on in my life that cannot be catagorized somewhere else, sort of a catch-all

Colorado for Vacation

I just booked my first vacation as person in The Real World™, and I’m going back to Colorado! Woo! This will be my first flight since getting back from my Europe Trip in August. I’ll be flying out right after work on Wednesday, November 18th, at 4:20pm (arriving at 8pm local time) and departing on Monday, November 23, at 6:05pm (arriving at 7:59pm local time).

It’s Brothers birthday1 on Thursday, the 19th, and some other familial obligations to attend to on Friday, but that leaves Frinight and the weekend open for whatever crazyness I can stir up with your help. I also want to go to Merge on Sunday night, so plan on that.

Should be a good little respite from work.

On a side note, sorry that updates have been few and far between. That’s sort of the way life is going for me right now. Hopefully that will change and I’ll get back to my usual posting antics.

Bullets Dodged or Opportunities Missed

My former girlfriend1, Sarah, recently became engaged. I really don’t have anything to say on the subject, I only met her boyfriend fiancé during a fleeting moment at E-Days while I was taking photos. After we broke up, we both moved on and I think it was, and still is, for the better. For me, the more interesting thought is the What If….

Over the last six years, I’ve had what I’ll graciously call four encounters; of those four, half are now engaged2. Now, I’m not saying I want to be engaged3. But, it does make me pause to wonder…what if I was engaged to one of these persons? How would life be different? Would I even want to be engaged to one of these persons?

As I continue to grow, more and more friends are getting married. Although statistically speaking, I’m still in the majority4).

Just some free flowing musings.

  1. I’m not a fan of saying, ex-girlfriend…it seems unnecessarily cruel ↩

  2. Three out of five if you count the girl I took to prom ↩

  3. Can I get a hells-to-the-no, please. Thanks. ↩

  4. Median age of marriage in the United States is 27.7 for males (source ↩

TBTL is Too Beatiful To Live

The show known as Too Beautiful To Live (TBTL) was, after all, too beautiful to live. The vogons over at KIRO management seem to be…well, I have no idea what they’re doing. In any event, this was the announcement up today:

From www.mynorthwest.com:

On Tonight’s Show:

Big…Huge Announcement: TBTL will end as a radio show tomorrow night. BUT, (there’s a huge but) we will live on as a podcast at www.tbtl.net

At least I got to meet Luke…
