The 2K11 24/7 CLXXII: After the Afterparty

After the party it's the afterparty. But after the afterparty, for most of us, it's time to get back to real life.

Today involved even more cleaning up, taking the possessions around the house that were once her stuff and my stuff and putting it all together to become OUR stuff.

And in this, I've discovered that there's a LOT of "our stuff".

The 2K11 24/7 XL: Life and Dodgeball

Ugh. Sometimes the choices we need to make in life bother me. I missed out on the Network Roulette that went down last night because I was simply too tired and didn't have an environment around where I could really go out and participate. Excuses, I know. You don't have to tell me. But just seeing all the comments from the event, it looks like people REALLY got a lot out of it. I'm going to schedule my time better so I have more energy to hit these kinds of things up.

In order to cheer myself up, I scanned some loose papers in and really sorted out my Gmail. I don't know why people don't take more advantage of what Gmail can offer — for someone who's OCD about organization like I am, it's a Godsend. Between setting filters for certain emails so that my BlackBerry's not going off every two seconds and being able to take a look at what's been cluttering up my Inbox, it's been a helpful exercise. (Went from 700+ emails in my Inbox to 388. Pretty good progress so far!) Still doesn't make up for missing the event, but it's something. Maybe I'll even show you something I sketched up recently at the end if you behave yourselves :D

Right. So how do we start this entry?

Sarah, mi amor, suggested an entry where I make an analogy between dodgeball and life. Sure — I could do that, but I think I'll take it a step further, and call it:

LIFE AND DODGEBALL — HOW DODGEBALL CAN MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON.

Ooh, that felt good — I think I got a few shivers. So to my readers both risk-averse and downright crazy, this post is dedicated to you!

Entry 0001: Genesis.

Okay, let's get down to the nitty-gritty.

So I've been promising people for a while now that I'd have a new blog with a new direction going on, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But I had to stop and think about that one - there's how many blogs on the Internet already about people and their lives that nobody really cares about? I mean, sure, many people of "Generation Please-Attach-a-Letter-Here-so-Social-Scientists-Can-Better-Label-Us" probably have multiple blogs:

-the blog they use to keep up on downloads from other blogs
-the blog they use to trick their parents into thinking that they lead a wholesome, trouble-free life
-the blog that people keep on lockdown to get all emo with - whining, crying, moaning, groaning, all the fun stuff

Yeah, this won't be falling under any of those categories. Instead, I found myself looking at my bank account balance one day, and found myself trying to figure out where the hell all my money had gone. It really doesn't help that I do enough of my transactions in cash so I can stash the change away for a rainy day.

So then it came to me! It was a glorious moment in the shower, and I nearly slipped and killed myself, but I'm okay, I swear! I need to make a blog about my life. A blog where I can rate and track what the hell happened, since I obviously don't know. All the crap I buy, the places I eat, the stuff I read! Yes. Yes, this will be excellent.

Stay tuned, all!

P.S. Mom and Dad, as you'll probably come across this blog as I grow in popularity and stature, yup, it's pretty much all true. But don't worry. If you have come across this, I'm probably reasonably wealthy by this point, so you don't really have to worry.
