Neat Life
For the past few years I’ve bellyached pretty much all the time about how much I wanted to move home to Canada and near to my old home town. I’m sure I drove a great deal of my co-workers and friends crazy with it. Two things have always kept me from it, the lack of a job to go to and the lack of cash to make the move.
Now, as I’m facing the last 10 months I have on my work visa, I’m facing a more untenable reality, I don’t want to leave yet. I’ve lived here for as long as I have lived any place since leaving Kincardine in 1994. In fact, I think I will have lived in this Townhouse longer than I’ve lived anywhere (excepting my parent’s house in Kincardine where I lived for 8 years.
On top of all that, I’m very comfortable here in Eugene. I mean, look at the views I get!
I know the staff at the local comic shops, by name even. I’ve made a few friends that I really value and I’ve made a real life here.
I’m not saying that I want to go the citizenship route, but I don’t think I’m totally burnt out on Eugene yet.
That being said, if the right job came along and I could live someplace just as picturesque (but still urban enough…) I’d probably move along.
It’s the dilemma I face.
It’s so much of a dilemma I was trying to sell my comics. All six Long Boxes.

I miss the very few parties
In my late teens and early 20s I started hanging around with a “Bad Crowd”(c)6000BC that had these kinds of parties. Full of people and booze and drugs. I was always a DD so I didn’t take part in the drinking/drugs (I was a major dork too) but on occasion, even totally sober, these parties were trippy beyond all reckoning.
I wouldn’t trade any of my memories of those parties for anything, even all the drama and heartache that came from them. I doubt many of the people there would. We all experienced life, and I got to see what I missed when I spent my teen years reading comics and going to “dances”. Sure I had glimpsed “real partying” in my teen years, but this was on a level I never experienced.
I look in on those people from time to time. A great number of them have tried to get as far from their pasts as possible. Some are still there, living in their flop-house lives.
It was gutter-born magic for a while.
Some Stuff that Happened
It was NiteCat’s birthday, only 3 kids showed up fro her party (of about 30 that got invites). She loved it either way, and they had a blast winning all the prizes for the party games and utterly destroying the pinata.
Got to see Rocky Balboa, I loved it. It was great way to bookend the whole story with Rocky (spoiler) losing his last fight. They did sort of lose the page with the sub-plot, but who cares. It was a great way to close out Rocky. I truly loved the movie and really got into it.
I highly recommend it.

I had to use a MAN page to resolve a question and consult Kernel notes to verify something, truly this is a golden nerdy age.
