Times, They Are A-Changin'

I suppose the way life works, things have to change. Otherwise, we won't evolve. Well, last weekend my roommate informed me that her and her boyfriend will be getting married in late June or early July and that she wanted to keep the apartment. So, I will be moving by the end of May when our lease is up. Though, it will be challenging, I am going to try and live on my own in Southern CA. I figure my two best options are trying to live on my own here or move back home and out of those two options, the former is best. I would love to move home, but I am pretty sure that it wouldn't be the right thing for me.

This was something I expected, to be honest. I knew things were going really well for them, but I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon. I am really happy for them, though. But, I am also thinking, that the news couldn't have come a better time. I am ready to live by myself and figure things out. And, as a very close friend has told me, I tend to get in my own way, I hold myself back and that being on my own will be a good thing....a good way of finding myself and, maybe...following my fire?

Work has changed a lot as well. A month ago things were horrible, and now things have changed 180 degrees. My boss has found others to be annoyed/frustrated with, therefore, for right now, I am the "good" one. I mean, we're chatting, having lunch together, all of that. A real stable environment, wouldn't you say? I need to get out of there.

My grandma is also doing pretty good...well, considering where she was. She's been eating at least 50% of her meals and drinking her liquids. I am very glad that she has been doing better. Maybe I can get away sometime soon to go visit her and my family again.

I am very excited...since 311 day (March 11th) is coming up, 311 is offering a bunch of different contests. A few of them being tickets to any show you want and backstage passes, tickets to any show and watching the show from the side of the stage, wristbands for the next 311 Day show, autographed stuff, a phone call from a band member, hand written lyrics of a song of your choice and a bunch of other little things. I hope I win something! Out of all of that, I think I'd like to have the hand written lyrics of a song the most. Could you imagine? Hand written lyrics to Beautiful Disaster...the thought almost turns me on. ;)

I heard Metallica on the radio today, I haven't heard them in a long time. I think I need to get some of their songs back into my library.

K, I am done. Let's raise a glass to changing times and the hope for success and clarity in the future.
