Loss.

So tomorrow is my last day without facebook. I haven't decided if I'm going to get on in the evening which would be one week after I signed off, or waiting until Sunday. The loss of facebook hasn't been dramatic by any means there were only a few times when I wanted to get on. There was one close call when I accidentally clicked the link in my bookmark toolbar, but i closed the tab before it loaded. There were also a few times when I wanted to check some information about somebody, and I would think to myself, "I can look at facebook" only to quickly realize my mistake. For all those of you who worried, I successfully made it to Cole's party, although later than intended, because I was working.

In addition to the loss of facebook, I also rencently lost my position as Member At Large for the TTU chapter of USITT. This is somewhat of a mixed blessing because I enjoyed the work, but I'm not really a good fit to the organization. I'm not a designer or stage manager, and I have no plans to be. I did enjoy being in a position of responsibility, even if we (USITT) didn't really accomplish much last year. The other two remaining members of the executive committee were reelected, so I somewhat expected to be as well. Even though I'm not sure I wanted to continue in the organization anyway it kind of sucks to lose at anything. I told myself that I probably wouldn't be active this year if I wasn't reelected, and that will probably be the case. I want to clarify that it is not out of spite of losing the election, but because I don't really belong in the organization. I'm trying to focus more on my writing and while I would have time for USITT I don't think I would have the commitment. Fred said, you don't have to be a designer to join and cited me as an example, but I feel out of place so I'm probably not going to re up this year.

There's a third thing but it is not a loss. At least not yet. At the moment it's not much of anything. I'll get back to you once I figure it out for myself.

This is just one man's blog. You will read about my life and what happens therein. Will it change your life? No. Should you read it? Probably not.

I guess this is a good a time as any to welcome any intrepid readers that have stumbled here from facebook. It should be noted that there is some heavy stuff that gets posted here. I should also note that this blog is about me and my outlook. This is one of the few places where I am 100 percent honest. That's not to say that my feelings don't change. What I wrote here three years ago is very different than what I felt three weeks ago, and that is decidedly different that what I felt three days ago. So intrepid readers, I invite you to comb through the archives, but be warned, if we know each other you might be mentioned, I might have used a pseudonym I might not have. Any thing on here is something that I deem worthy to posted on the netterwebs. That means it's important to me. If something I post here bothers you that's OK. But rarely (read:never) will I edit previous posts. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I may not be proud of what I put out here but I mean it. If you want to talk about it go ahead, I have comment links for all of the posts, or you can just ask me about in the real world. If it's here it's fair game for discussion.

Everything here is the intellectual property of the owner unless otherwise indicated. Steal it and I will have my posse of legal students attack you face. There is no fair use of it, just stealing. If you want to quote me, ask first.
