And That Little Bastard (of Self-Pity) Shot Me In The Ass!
I think I've figured out why I haven't really been using this thing much: it's that I may not be as willing to share my life in diary form as I was at one point. It was so much easier in 2003 when my life was all routines and nothing much happened away from that. 2004, around the time I stopped the first time around started becoming a weird roundabout period for me.
And it never really stopped spinning, that's the problem. I think when things stabilize a little bit, that's when normalcy will come back around in this. This has kinda been my 12 months where I've had my wild oats period (albeit at 29/30 it was later than most) and I need to put a kibosh on it for the sake of my own sanity. Fast.
Of course, there is also the very real possibility that I'm just stressed out from work, responsibilities, my roller coaster of a personal life, the stupid little adventures I always seem to find myself in, even though I might be passed the point of having them. It's adulthood, right? Although I can't help but feel right now that everyone else has it a little easier than me, even if that's not accurate.
And I hate that I just wrote that, because most of the time I try to be as non-melodramatic as possible. I mean, that's a game my family would play, and just last week I took the liberty of finally pointing that out. Well shit, it only took 30 years for me to say it.
I don't know...ever get the feeling that they were right about you all along and you only accept it when it's too late?

The Ron Mexico Experience
First off, to anyone in the aPa Fantasy Football League who may be reading this, I'm calling dibs on the name "The Ron Mexicans" right NOW
from The Smoking Gun:
Michael Vick Hit With Sex Suit
Woman claims star NFL quarterback passed along herpes in 2003 APRIL 5--Claiming that Michael Vick gave her herpes, a Georgia woman is suing the star NFL quarterback for negligence and battery. According to the below lawsuit, Sonya Elliot, a 26-year-old health care worker, was infected with the sexually transmitted disease in April 2003 after an unprotected encounter with Vick at the athlete's Duluth, Georgia home. Elliott alleges that after testing positive for Herpes Simplex 2, she confronted the Atlanta Falcons star, 24, about her condition. "I've got something to tell you. I've got it," Vick admitted to her, according to Elliott's State Court complaint, which alleges that Vick then told her that "he had not known how to tell her about his condition, and that it was not something that he liked to talk about." Elliott's complaint also contends that Vick "apologized profusely" for not telling her he was infected with the STD. Elliot's lawsuit alleges that Vick has used the name "Ron Mexico" and, in a related court filing, her lawyers are seeking Vick's admission that he used the "Mexico" alias--and perhaps other fake names--"for the purpose of herpes testing and/or treatment." In her lawsuit, which does not specify monetary damages, Elliott states that she met Vick at a Virginia Beach nightclub in May 2001 and, shortly thereafter, began a close personal relationship with the football star (though the couple did not have sex until late-2002). Last December, Vick, the top overall pick in the 2001 National Football League draft, signed a ten-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons, the richest deal in league history.
