«  Changes

Tomorrow night is my last night in the apartment I’ve had for over 4 years. Crazy.

A couple of weeks ago I stepped up to sing in front of a handful of people, my first time playing guitar in public in over a year. Wasn’t sure if I would ever do that again.

About a month ago I quit my job. The first day was a bit of a shock because I am no longer a financial professional.

The 20s are crazy. You finish school and get pitched out in to the real world through a pinball machine, bumped off of career, to the social circle point boosters, to the loop-de-loop relationships, just trying not to go down.

In 6 months I’m getting married. One woman. Forever. There will be many changes ahead. Kids, cars, net worth. But whether I stay a Web Developer or become a Circus Performer, whether we stay in San Francisco or move to Chicago, San Diego, Irvine, Moreno Valley, or Atlanta, the ring on my finger will mean that the wife will never change. All this change makes me tired so I’m sure glad that this one part stays put. Or to put it more romantically… when you’re old, sad, and wrinkly, I will still love you, honey. And that will never change.

«  Life After Death

pistevo.com has slowly become, like so many other blogs, abandonware. Its slow and painful decline was due in large part to a slow and painful decline in my will to live. The day in and day out suffering of being at a job that was slowly sucking out my soul was too much to have any desire to do anything after work other than bash my head against a wall and find a way to get the hell out. I was dying.

So after much talk of quitting my job… I quit.

This may have been the single most life giving decision I have made. Life no longer sucks. I no longer feel like stabbing myself when I arrive at work. I don’t watch the clock tick by hoping it would move faster.

So now that I got my soul back… I will write again.

I will write random things and weighty things. But mostly I will write to compete with thesesocksdontmatch.com. Because blogging is a competitive sport. And I intend to win this fight. Bring it sock lady. Pistevo lives again.
