Holy crap, this is still here?

Holy crap, so I just rediscovered that Google does indeed keep everything.  The previous post was written in late 2008-ish.  It is now the bright new year of 2013! 

I guess some background.  The title, 'In due time' referred to my plan to move from home and create a life for myself.  Let's see, 2008, so I had been living at home for a year after failing out of Georgia Tech for a second time.  I think my plan was to write a "how to run away from home" guide for "misguided yet fairly affluent youth with some job skills and technical proficiencies".

I basically packed my belongings, bought a car, got a job, and found an apartment all in the span of 2 or 3 months.  Athen, late one Saturday afternoon, when I couldn't take it anymore, I packed up and left. 
I talked to my Uncle Bob recently about that time, and he said that the possibility of something like that hapenning was just unthinkable to my family. My family is Full-blood Filipino and Uncle bob is the "white guy looking in". He's actually married to my dad's sister, so he's an actual uncle and not a "tito/tita".

I'm rambling, so I'll stop here for now.  It's funny, this was supposed to be my angsty teenage thoughts and rants blog full of bad poetry angry songwriting; but I think I'll leave it as it is.  A chronicle of my life that I can look back on and either smile or cry about as the years fly by.
