Last year around this time I wrote a post about being stuck in a rut. Even though the person I was talking about in that post really was someone else, I remembered feeling the same way. Writing that was as much for me as it was them.

Lately, I have been feeling this so I imagine this is a seasonal thing. The weather is gloomy, I haven’t received enough vitamin D; whatever it is… life just feels a little blah. I was getting kind of down thinking about how things seem so repetitive lately. I can’t really tell you about anything that happened last week. Life is meant to be so much more.

Last week I attended the going-away-party of one of my closest friends at SUCCESS, Jennifer Chang. I made the hike all the way up to Denton during what became an almost 3-hour lunch break.

It’s a shame that Chang won’t be around anymore.

But it was great seeing the old crew again. However, when the inevitable goodbyes came, there was the inescapable, “We should get together again sometime.”

If you aren’t into video games… well, it’s about to get nerdy. Let me tell you about something near and dear to my heart.

When I was a kid my grandma bought me a box of comics. One of the ads was for a video game that was unlike any other I had ever seen. I was used to Mario where you jump over turtles. Maybe Contra you could use a few different guns sure, but this had binoculars, hazard suits, mine detectors… how could you ever have time to use all these objects. The closest I had come to this much complexity was Boy and His Blob and I still haven’t found out what all those jellybeans did. Plus that image totally ripped off from Terminator? Still, it was the coolest thing I had seen.
