Wow...second post in only 3 years!

Change, huh? Well that sure happened.

Since the last post, I've moved out of the city where I'm part-owner of some land. I have plans for building my house. I've dropped plans of moving far away since I'm the one in my family tasked with caring for my parents when they get too old to do it themselves. I'm back in school, learning to make bank. I finally upgraded my computer to an incredible BEAST of a PC (specs to follow). I do, however, lack one thing.

High-speed internet.

Absolutely ZERO companies run out here for any kind of decent internet, so I'm tethered through my phone. It runs at a blazing average of 20Kb/s. A far cry from the 16Mb/s hub I was used to. Still, it does its job.

Anyway, that's it. Not a killer post riddled with drama and self-deprecating optimism this time. There shouldn't be any of those.

PC Specs:

Windows 7 64-bit

AMD Athlon X4 Quad-Core Processor

16MB Overclocked RAM

4TB HDD Storage

nVidia GeForce GT 545 (x2) SLi

A change of plans

So it begins...


We're looking at a whole new life for Jon Waldrop. I've had a rough last week, and I've made some drastic changes that will continue until further notice. Over the next 6 months, I'm cutting my ties to Mississippi. That is, I'll get myself off probation (first), start ignoring the person(s) I don't need to talk to anymore (you know who you are), and finally saving enough money to move far away. I'm thinking the Seattle area will be good for me. I know some people that live(d) there and I've heard nothing but good things. If not, then I'll try somewhere on the east border. Or maybe my Alaskan cabin I've been wondering about.

What brought about this change? Believe it or not, a mental breakdown. I had a thousand things slam me at the same time, and for the first time in my life, it broke me. All I know is that it woke something inside of me, and now I see what my life needs. To keep things from building up, I need change. And I'm taking it.

I'm still in the process of finding a good job and all that there, but it shouldn't take too long with as much information I've been gathering. However, I hear the living expenses are high in the Seattle region, and I'd probably have to find someone to go with me, or talk to someone there. We'll see. If anybody can do it, it's me.

So are the inner workings of a genius...in progress.
