One step at a time.

I met with Greg B of the WMBD today. As expected, he's a very down to earth guy. I told him what I'm going to school for, and my eventual/hopeful path of the future. To help stir me along, he listed off some great contacts in the area of Columbia (which is where I hope to arrive at next semester, if all goes as planned). And, best of all, my passion was encouraged. He told me that nobody should stop you from doing what you want to do in life. He had people try and stop him from getting into journalism and he's doing just fine as it.

That really hit home with me, and it also made me question why my ex-girlfriend and parents were so vehemently against it. Step on those who tell you that you can't, use them to push yourself forward.

At any rate, getting the tour of the WMBD was great, and meeting all the people there only serve to inspire. I can't wait.

Brittney and I had movie night, with nostalgia overflow due to The Pagemaster. That movie was amazing. Throughout the day, she showed that she'd support my endeavors no matter what. Rarity.

Oh, yes. The boy's house is slowly becoming emptier and emptier. It's kind of a heavy feeling without finding Jake playing WoW or messing with his rubic's cube, or Ryan popping out of his room randomly. Jedd gets a short burst of caring, trying to find people to replace those leaving but then soon gives up. Chris is at work and then, to be honest, not giving a damn either way. I don't blame him. Even Bostic has found residence somewhere else, so it's not like caring at this point would matter since nobody can find someone we know to fill the spots. Without the rest caring, it's hard to do so yourself.

The last, final drop of hope would be if some good people were to waltz in and board up, but that isn't going to happen. This sucks. It was a place where anyone in the group could just go and do whatever. It was the ultimate hangout spot (aside from sleeping. But who achieves that in this day and age anyway?), meeting point, and a place of a many great memory.

{Thanks for all the fish.}
