Whoa time, relax homey.

Time keeps on ticking into the future. These timeless lyrics by Steve Miller are the first thing that comes to my head as I continue my decent into a personal western maelstrom. My friends have been supportive for the most part and i am fortunate to know such magnificent people.

A week ago if you would have asked, i would have told you that the days couldn't go by fast enough.
Predictably though, the days have begun outrun me. I am trying to fit a lot things in a short period and i can envision time itself passing me up, as if a runner in a race.

The closest thing I have to grandparents went to dinner with me tonight. They showed the kind of compassion, concern, and well wishing that leads one to sigh from the emotional warmth. Not having grandparents for some time has lead me to cherish every minute of their time, especially time they decide to devote to me, like tonight. I am so thankful for them and would strongly suggest you spend time with your elders as much as you can, they possess the type of wisdom about your background that you can gain from no other outlet.



I gave my snake away today, not nearly as emotional as the dinner but equally landmark when i give a seven year pet away. When i left C.S. i gave away my Astro's beer pong table (best pic available) Now, leaving Houston I am giving away my pet snake. Both of these sacrifices can be seen as maturation and conformist. I will have you know I am neither of those two things, thank you very much.

Last day of work was tough, when you spend as much time as I did with those people you really feel the seperation, this is natural with anything. The next four days are going to be crazy, please pray that i do not get sued.

I love you
Patrick
