Changes

Like an idiot, when I quit my job, I told them I would come back and work the first week in July to help out. So after 3 weeks on the outside, here I am back at work. Its exactly like hooking up with an ex-girlfriend. Sure the sex is nice, but its only at the expense of scratching at wounds that had started to heal.

I went back to Ireland and unfortunately it was the least fun leg of our trip. It was still a good time, but my friend Mark hit it on the head when he quoted "No man steps in the same river twice." If you combine these two reviews I wrote for epinions, I think it kind of lays out what I'm talking about:
Ireland
Graceland

Both are somewhat long reads, so to put it shortly, I have been always interested in our subjective viewpoints into what we present as objective assessments. My found memories of Ireland 7 years ago are much more related to who I was and what I was going through rather than Ireland itself. I love Ireland, but its touristy as hell and I think getting more so every year.

While I'm glad I got to show Jessica where I lived and such, it might have been better to visit other areas of Ireland and let some memories lay.

/end navel gazing

I think out of all the funny names that people have made up, Amanda Hugnkis is my favorite.

Also, my new idea is to rent out a room with a 2 way mirror, and put in 2 people: 1 who doesn't own a TV and 1 who just stayed up all night the night before. Then I will take bets on which of the two will tell the other person their respective non-TV owning or staying up first.

The over/under is 2 minutes. The theory is that it is psychologically impossible for a person with either of these things under their belt not to mention it at some point.
