I bartend at Mango's. I'm here now, getting internet from the hotel that's attached to this mall. What a rundown shithole this place is. There will probably be less than 5 people who come in tonight. I'll close at 11.

I love this laptop.

The last week I've been spending time with my manfriend, Tom, while he's home visiting from Virginia. He's a college football coach and getting his master's paid for, so the distance now is just a bump in the road. It really isn't bad with email and cell phones. Of course saying all that to people and writing it in my blog is much easier than accepting it in my head.

This is my new blog. For no reason except I got a new laptop and will be spending way more time online. I'm excited about this.

There probably won't be much distinction between my blog and other blogs, but I don't care. There are much better writers out there, more interesting people. I'm just wasting time.

I'm sitting in the living room in the house my mom owns that I don't pay rent for watching Cops and typing on a laptop I shouldn't have bought because I need to start paying back college loans. It's Wednesday and I have nothing substantial to do until tomorrow morning when I stop by football camp to meet my new students for the season.

Football season should be interesting this year with five new student trainers, a new coach, and a new home field. That all starts in about a week. So until then, I feel idle. And I hate that. I worked hard in college yet can't support myself now. I'm looking forward to being an adult. Until then, I'm going to sit in the sun and read.
