Well that was a fun little chapter in my life. As of tomorrow, October 1st I will officially be going back to my first “real” job in almost 3 and a half years. In all the time I was away from legitimate adult responsibilities I definitely learned a great deal of knowledge from my studies and experienced a whole lot from the people and places I surrounded myself for that time.  I can be pleased that I will go from being a drunk moron student to simply a drunk moron and though I have accumulated great debt while away from the working world, I am better off than if I had bought a house instead of going to back school (foreclosure is a bitch isn’t it?).

Moving on has never been a bad thing though. Every time I close the chapter of one story in my life, a unique new one begins. I don’t really want to return or relive any of the old chapters of my life but I do like skimming them over from time to time. This chapter was probably a bit verbose and some of the pages, now smeared with liquor and piss, are nearly illegible, where as other pages may have been ripped out to block out traumatic studying experiences and still other pages may be taped back in to future chapters. As I metaphorically yank out the last page from the typewriter, I ponder whether to crumple it up and bank shot in to the trash or lay face down on the other pages from this chapter, do I want it to end? Well, I can say I am both relieved and happy at this point, but also sad and without a clear direction… but then I smile… because I know how this new chapter starts off with… “So the Red Sox were in the post season and the Yankees weren’t” and its perhaps the best start to any of my chapters since I began with “There I was balls deep in this hooker” …but you all already know that one by now.

PS: I still have my Accenture business cards, my DLA security badge, a more attractive body, and a Nextel lanyard for sale if anyone is interested in buying my life where I left it off in 2005.
