So now my cable modem is broken. I believe a power surge came through the coax and blew out the modem. That means I’m on my laptop right now bumming free internet access off one of my unsuspecting neighbors. Gosh, it’s awesome living in a subdivision. 
That’s all I have to say.

Today is quite nice. It all started when I woke up (naturally). I got up at 8 AM, which was great. But I wanted to get up at 6 AM so I could get a head-start on what is supposed to be my last day of writing for one of my clients. Whether or not it is my last day is up to me, really. The outlook is good–it shouldn’t take more than a few hours from now to complete it.
So when I woke up this morning, I got an email from an Adam. It seems he went to Reganweb.com and really liked the feedback I received for some vBulletin projects. He basically wants me to do many, many things for him on his website. I’m expecting a call from him any minute now, and am very optimistic about this contract.
So yes, today is awesome.
Leave lots of comments, homies.

Now those memories come back to haunt me…
They haunt me like a curse.
Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true?
Or is it something worse?-The River, Bruce Springsteen
I love The Boss. I’ve just started getting into his music, and I really enjoy it a lot. I keep listening to The River repeatedly. The song is sad, but beautiful. The piano work in it is awesome, and adds a lot to the song.
Listening to The River makes me hope I make the right choices. The results for making the wrong decisions can be terrible, and can completely change the rest of your life.

Things are not as bad as they seem.
I am content with this situation now. I spoke to the other party today, and although the situation isn’t perfect, I now have peace.
Thanks, everyone, for the words of encouragement.

tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
We’ve all heard that saying. One must wonder if it’s true. I feel like I have loved and lost this week. Seriously. And I feel like it would have been better not to have loved in the first place
But as I typed that, I realized that maybe I don’t mean that. Maybe it was worth it.
I don’t care to get into the details. It won’t make me feel any better. I feel now as if I’ve been hit by a wave of sadness, and I don’t expect that feeling to go away for a while.
But I just have to trust that this all has some purpose. I can’t fathom what that purpose may be, but I guess I must blindly believe that there is one.
Take care,
-John
