Back.
[mood: good overall] [listening to: 30 Seconds to Mars]
I'm going to start off this post with the obligatory "It's been a while." It truly has. I had a pretty 2010/New Year's post prepared, but I think it's a bit too late for the post to be relevant now or have as much impact as it would have. If I get enough people asking to read it, I may fix it up and post it. Your favorite authors at theblacktop always promise to update more often, but I guess things just get in the way. If it weren't for the loyal readers we have still visiting this site and participating in the bloober, I don't think we would have any more reason to write here anymore. Most of our lives appears on the rougher, more up-to-date mediums of Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr now anyways.
So why am I updating Hublog now? Well, I am supposed to be writing a joke of a paper right now [500 words? Psh.] for a class that I have in about 7 hours, but it's late nights like these that inspire me to write. I also feel that today has been a pretty significant day in my life. Today, for one of the first times in probably years, I feel at ease and in fact even optimistic. The faithless, cynical side of me has slowly been becoming less and less relevant in my mind. This is due to a culmination of many things, but I feel today is the climax of these series of events. I think one of the biggest factors has to be Conan O'Brien's closing monologue on his final episode as the host of The Tonight Show. All the feelings I had concerning the Tonight Show controversy really magnified my cynicism, but watching Conan's parting words blew that all away. My experiences at VCU have been becoming even more and more enjoyable. I realized this is not only because I am seeing things in a more positive light, but in fact my loss of cynicism has pushed me to go out and do new things and meet new people, which has led to more enjoyable days. Getting back to Hublog just happens to be concordant with all these feelings. [There's even more to this, but I think I'll leave my more personal posts to my xanga, which I will try to update more often as well! So look out for those posts Alyssa, Irene, Krista, David, Sonia, and even JoNgo.]
I had an actual post to post, but it was way too long to post along with this, so I'll post that another time.
