Been doing a lot of reflecting today. Not having a lot to do at work will do that. I’ve been reading old blog posts and going through music I haven’t listened to in a long time. A lot of old memories are coming back and it’s interesting. There are songs that i can play, and when I close my eyes, I can fully see scenes from my life. What’s crazier, is that it all just comes back, the feelings, the sights, the sounds…everything.
I’m enjoying this trip immensely. Even the parts that still sting…well, they still sting, but at the same time; I’m still smiling. In a way, I often feel like I just get my memories returned to me. It’s kind of fun. I often don’t know where the trip is going to take me, but I just roll. I’m currently on a 2005 Seattle kick. It’s funny how I can remember walking back to my apartment with H and Dan in Archstone; I remember the smell of the trees that spring as everthing just seemed so chill. I remember PSSO/Zoji parties and going kinda crazy and letting loose. I remember running around with the full Nerdhouse crew while Nicole was out visiting. All those memories make me smile. It was all good, and it is all good.
It always amazes me about how life doesn’t always go as you plan. I could never have imagined where I am, and at this point, I’m not even going to try and figure out where I’m going to go. But, I’m feeling good about it.
Life and Times
Because of the release, I’ve had what has felt like an off week. Not working during the day for two days, plus having the company meeting kind of does that. It just seems like I haven’t been working much. And in all honesty, I haven’t. It’s really my fault that our release and the company meeting were scheduled like this. It just happened.
But yeah, it’s now the post release time. In theory, life is supposed to “go back to normal” but I don’t really know what normal is. This release didn’t feel like 2.0 or 2.5, so I’m not really sure what to make of it. I am, however, very glad it’s over. This release has felt longer than it really was, so it being over with is a nice feeling.
Plus, there are other things going on in my life that I want/need to take care of. My next two months are going to be pretty crazy and I’m looking forward to work not being the only thing in my life.
Anyway, I need to get to sleep, I’ll update more on the things outside of work that are going on as the timing becomes right.
Life and Times
It’s that time again. Ship night. I’ll be here for another 8 or so hours. There’s something about ship night that’s very interesting. There’s always an interesting air in the place. It’s an uneasy excitement. It’s the true calm before the storm. It’s wondering how tomorrow will feel. So let’s do this. Let’s ship this thing.

It’s 9/11. I don’t have to say much more than that because everyone knows what it means.
So in that, I’m going to post a link to a Keith Olbermann video. (here). Regardless of the political leanings, the sentiment for me is generally the same. It’s a day of mourning. It’s a day to remember that at one point, this country came together. I’ll reflect on the the past another day.
Today, I mourn the loss of my friends father. I remember my friends who were personally effected by the atrocities and pray for them. That’s what today is and should be about.

So I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting my Masters from UW at nights through the professional masters program for a while. Ever since my buddy, H, started, I’ve been thinking about it. Well, one of my friends is currently applying and is encouraging me to do so as well. I had figured I’d wait another year before trying, but maybe not. It’s interesting how over time, one’s opinion can change. But yeah, the talks of going back to school have re-opened.
