…and it’s been a while.
June 12th, 2008 Denham Coote6 months. A lot can happen in 6 months. A lot _has_ happened in 6 months.
I’m sure that a lot of what I’m about to tell you would probably have made decent individual posts. Thing is, life, being the rollercoaster it is, tends to have its share of extreme ups and downs. You, as the rider, experience every turn, every drop and every loop for the gut-wrenching, invigorating, thrilling & exciting bit of fun it is. At the end of the ride, trying to describe how the *aaargh* at turn 3 was different to the *uuurghhh* at turn 5 is a bit more difficult, and a lot less colourful. To the person you’re trying to describe it to, often, the best you can do is “Wow! Just, WOW!”. In the same sense, trying to convey the happenings of the past 6 months with the same gory detail is simply not going to happen.
So here’s the summary:
Let’s see. I’ve taken very few photos. My car was totalled. I resigned. I now work for myself, freelancing as a PHP developer. Richard, the bass guitarist for Sandbox, left to move down to George. Ann, his replacement, is no longer with the band either - she’s off to New York, I believe. I got a puppy (a boerboel x boxer) called Java. He died. I got myself a 22″ widescreen. I’m thinking about getting a 2nd one. Been spending some time with Tyler Reed of Younique lately, working on some things together. I am currently working on a facebook project for M-Net. I am also working on some really cool projects for Pixelmagic. Went and saw Counting Crows. I helped my brother set up a site for the World of Warcraft guild he plays with. My studies have taken a back seat. I missed my accounting exam completely. Today I wrote (guessed) business management.
I have too many unread books, too many items on a dusty todo list, too many unread feeds, too much unopened mail, and plenty of wine that wants to be shared. Anyone up for it?
