Looking at my entry below it's almost funny to me how long I've been away from Xanga... and yet I'm back. Since that posting I have lost that job due to loss of funding for the project, only to be picked up by another grant. Better pay and better job. I've also switched graduate programs, setting me back about a year, but making me a lot happier.
I guess that's the difference between last year and this year, I'm a great deal happier. There's less amount of people in my life at this point, and that feels quite good. Social network pressures have decreased, and I get to sleep early each night in order to be productive each day. What a concept, huh? It was kind of like cutting out fat. Some people like the fat. Some people don't. I like just a bit of it.
I feel old. That's good. Ever since I was little there was nothing that I wanted more than to grow up. Now that it's slowly happening I'm enjoying it. I'm sure there will be a point where the growing old will come too quickly and I won't enjoy it anymore. Until then I'll enjoy getting older. Anyway, it's 8:30 pm, it's time to go to sleep.

Good to see you are still kicking. Thought you fell off the face of the planet. Since last I saw you I have lived in Japan, and now reside in Southern California. It'll be a year in 4 days, that I've lived here. So where you stay now?
TTYL,
Myke
