Shaking off the dust...

Know that I don't always know what I'm going to say. Games, Entertainment, Self, Weather, Politics, Events, History, Philosophy, all are fair game and any are free without the waring eyes of family or work.
Wow, it's been a few months since I cared about Fur Affinity. What has gone on you ask? Let's hit this bit by bit..
The job has been staying steady and every week I'm being shown a new technology, new development technique, or new concept to shape me into a confident and reliable software engineer. The entire atmosphere is very family friendly, with everyone looking out for each other including the Boss who loves to just poke fun and haze us developers (although I wish he had better timing or wouldn't hang on a joke as long.. it gets awkward. we know he means well though)
I've been in Brooklyn Park, MN for the last 3 months. I love my new roomies and the opportunity to get away from St. Cloud. I spent my entire life having a 20-30 minute drive from my old home to any place of interest, which for a long time meant nothing of vast social capacity. But now that 20 minutes put's me at the Mall of America, the Fur Meets, and beyond. Yesterday I spent the afternoon watching a Movie with a friend, afterward we hiked on trails for 2-3 hours never exactly finding the right paths, but all around having fun getting "lost" and discussing the movie. This was something I never could do before and for the first time (not the last obviously) I FULLY felt the benefits of my choices.
There have been a few events I attended over the months, namely Megaplex and a campout. Megaplex was easily a ton of fun, a lot of musically talented folks and I totally want to get back there next year. The campout was only a few weeks ago and it was a nice two days getting away from people and their problems. Forget the cell phones and video games, go roast food over a campfire and watch the stars. Chase after wild foxes when you see eyes in the woods.. it is certainly how to spend a summer.
Furry Migration.. what else can I say but IT IS COMING! For those who don't know I am one of two heads of Registration, you'll see either myself or Snapcat (or both of us). I won't disclose details but oh my god do the badges look great.
What's in the long future? I stepped away from society to deal with all the changes in my personal life, and I can only hope that after Migration I get an opportunity to slow down and relax. I've come to accept change in people and places, and I've felt empowered by my decisions. Honestly I can say the only thing I wish I could change, is I find the time to return to the Gym.
