Perfectionist. Nonconformist. Atheist. Scientist. Pacifist. Realist. Progressiveist. Austinist.
I just reminisced with my old self from 2005. 15 years ago I wrote that I was finally free of my jobs and that I could be free to enjoy vacation. How funny. Today, this weekend, I am sorta on vacation in Corpus Christi and the Island until tomorrow night, then back to the grind in the ATX.
I read thru several posts from that year, and my fucking god, so many things seem to have repeated. That was the Years of Dubya. We as a society haven't learned much. Many things I said 15 years ago could be re-posted and simply change the names. The underlying context is about the same. It makes my sad, angry, frustrated, so many things simultaneously.
