Thought I was Dead, Didn't You?

So did I, at times. But I'm back and more alive than ever! Yeah... A lot of ongoing goings-on in the last 2 years, least of all the fact that I got spectacularly ill this last winter and have lost 100 lbs. since then.

Yowza...

Yes, that is the same person.

Oh, and also my fiancé left me and took $2,000 of my money along with her to Georgia. Which leads me to this very important lesson... If you're 21, you're too young to be engaged or get married. It was a disastrous mistake, exacerbated by the fact that my particular fiancé was the most manipulative person I've ever encountered. Now I can't pin ALL the blame on her. To be fair, I am the second most manipulative person I've ever encountered. So with that noxious combo-package, the entire relationship turned out to be a constant battle of manipulation. So if you're 21—or even younger than 25, let's say—you're too young. I don't care how mature you think your relationship is or how in love you are...too damn young. Moving on!

Today was a glorious sunny day in St. Cloud. I was on a walk and I couldn't help noticing that there were bugs EVERYWHERE. I think I forgot about bugs during the never-ending winter. The sad thing about this (and the reason I bring this up) is that my first instinct was to pull out my bug-catching net and capture some beetles to take to the museum. Confused? Wondering what kind of museum would be interested in live bugs that I caught? Well, it's this one.

Some of you may have been there before...

Yes, I have recently developed a small addiction to playing Animal Crossing on my 3DS. When I realized on my walk that no, I'm not the mayor of "LogeLand," and no, I don't have a net in my pocket, and no, there is no museum to bring live bugs to, my heart sank. Until I realized how ridiculous that was. And another thing! I don't even like bugs!!! Maybe I should play less video games... Not really so productive is it?


Anyway, I have to go play Animal Crossing now—I'm kidding! Although I might play for just a few minutes... Damn! Just imagine all the things I could accomplish. I know I do.

Until next time,
