...In Which Anthony Takes a Moment to Epiphany and to Meme...

I was trying to figure out where all this weird negative mojo was coming from--to figure out why my brain was boiling with ennui and such.

As I was heel toe-ing it on the interchange from the I-10 west to the 605 south, it hit me like the big red lights in front of me--the major thing off in my life right now.

I'm measuring life in semesters. Again.

I'd gotten away from it, and it took nigh on 6 years to break away from that feeling. And now I'm back in it. Full force. And it's fraking with me.

I must break the cycle.

But before I do that, I have to get past this one project--that one project that should be all easy, but isn't and for some reason has made itself a brick wall. That project that is the lynchpin for everything to come. Once that one project is done, all the rest are easy.

It's just cutting through that one thing.

Maybe once I get through it, I can break the curse.

...In Which Anthony Takes a Moment to Do a Flashback...

Man...hard to believe it was a year ago that I had my "1st" job interview here. It seems like just yesterday that I was being a total slacker and going to Karaoke...

...Yeah, it seems so close, and yet so much has happened...and so much time has passed. That's life, kids. One moment, you're staying up all night, dancing, drinking, hanging out, and then you blink and *poof* you've been employed for a year...

Woah Dude! the Yale-Harvard Game is this weekend! I need to see if they're showing the game god awful early in the AM at the Yankee Doodle's in Santa Monica again...sure, it ain't like the real Doodle, but it'll do in a pinch...and really, the bar burgers are pretty good...

Want my vacation now--I WANT AN OOMPA LOOMPA RIGHT NOW!

One week...one week...one week...
