The twenty-four day hiatus: halted, adjourned, aborted, hiatED.


    It has been twenty-four solid days since my last blog post.  In that 3.428571428571429 week span, quite a few things have happened.  Some of those things were good and some were very, very, very bad.  Positive things in my life never outweigh the negatives and the negative things never beat out the positives.  I ride through life at a neutral norm, and my norm is pure optimism, otherwise I would have killed myself a long time ago.  It's the only way to live if you ask me.  Say fuck it, keep the "things are going to be really rad," perspective reigning with an iron fist in your brains, and keep on truckin'.  Thinking like an optimistic robot is key.
    Moving forward.  Lately, I've been working a lot.  My schedule is dumb, it really isn't a schedule, but more like a random summoning of me that I have to obey.  It's usually like Thursday: 4PM - 4AM Friday: 4PM - 4AM Saturday: 11 AM - 4 AM Sunday 12:30 PM - 4 AM.  It's pretty ridiculous, especially considering I don't have a car now.  Yes, my car is gone forever.  The jolly Christmas themed Cavalier rides no more.  Long story short, I broke down in downtown Detroit, came back the next day to get my car and it's gone.  I call up state and city police and all of the towing services they work with over the course of about 5 days.  No one knows anything about my car so the cops eventually tell me "Sounds like your car was stolen."  So I reported it stolen.  That's the end of that.  I lost a lot of sentimental stuff in that car, along with about ~$200.  Oh well.

I started writing this entry the other day but was interrupted in the middle of it.  I think I'll just post it as it is and let it be.  I don't want to finish it while I'm in another train of thought.  We'll let this be the "hello again," portion.  I'll let this be the entry that rekindles a steady stream of new entries.  I hope all is well.
