Well, it's definitely been quite a while since I last posted anything on this blog. A year brings a whole bunch of different things to the plate, and a lot of changes to life. My father recently went through both a bypass and pacemaker surgery, which was a little worrisome to me. Granted, he had good doctors and he's pulled through wonderfully, it just reminded me how fragile life really is. You know, I've been around death quite a lot in the last few years, seeing family and friends passing on, and I have to admit that I got quite numb to the whole thing. However, seeing my own father go through these things really hit home how close he is to me, and how I should really change my thinking on the subject, mainly because I don't really know what I'd do if I didn't have him around. On a happier note, I've finally graduated from Purdue. Took quite a long time, but it finally happened, and honestly, I don't know what to do now. I had planned on going to law school this fall, but that didn't quite pan out, mainly because with all the things going on, I unfortunately got many of my applications in a little too late. But you know, maybe that's for the better because I don't know if I was really ready for a commitment like that. Law school is not easy, and I'm not exactly in the best frame of mind for that at this moment. So, it looks like I'll be taking a year off from school, and try again next fall with a fresh mind and more motivation about the whole situation. Still don't have a girlfriend, but you know what, that's really for the best because there's no one around here that would be worth my time, much less anyone that I would be able to tolerate for a long time. That's not to say that I haven't been having a blast with the wrong girls; it has been a good time, and interesting to say the least...but I'll save those details for later. For now, I just needed to update some things, and really get these things off my chest.
