As the ever so astute MissuzJ has observed, it's been a while since I posted last. Admittedly, I am not the most prolific underpantser. But this time, (as opposed to previous entries) I actually have real, honest to god, groundshattering (to me) news to relate. Sorry, no witty story or lame ass attempt to attain some sort of psuedo-intellectual insight here. Simply the news:
I have finally succeeded in my years-long siege to gain entry to the hallowed halls of Seminary!! As of last Friday, I was informed that someone, somewhere in the ivory towers of higher learning has deigned me worthy to enter unto their most holy sanctuary, so that I might drink deep from the well of knowledge. And long have I thirsted, friends and neighbors, and long have I labored in this endeavor Truly a triumph of tenacity this has been.
And yet, this glorious victory, like all conquests, is bittersweet and comes at a steep cost. In order to join the ranks of the newly annointed acolytes, I must depart this fair land of coffee and clouds, and journey far to the East, where swollen rivers rage with torrents of trash and kind, simple folk travel the concrete thoroughfares in horse driven carriages. I must yield my claims in the beautiful mountains of green for lands unseen. But the deepest cut most surely comes from the fact that I must say "Hail" and "Farewell" to my dear friends (who over these many years have truly become more Kin than Kith) and my sweet FC. But I remain confident, as I have in the past, that the bonds formed here in this glorious city of grungers, slackers, technocrats and hot Asian chicks will survive the strains that time and distance will impose.
And so, in less time than it takes for the Moon to pass through her phases, I shall sojourn to the next stage of my humble life's journey. I wonder what all awaits me around this next turn....
Suffice to say, I am giddy with anxious anticipation. And to all those fuckwads who didn't think I my application was "strong" enough: Go fuck yourselves!

Wow, gee, wow, that's wondermos.

I guess you'll just have to more cornholing Justine Bateman of the petty little things so we can cyber follow in our moments of boredom.
And don't you dare buy any cookies from girl out there. Button will ship, which would probably fast that the Rob delivery system. It sucks.
PS - underpantser isn't the correct term. I believe it should read something like "Admittedly, I am not the most prolific philanthropic butt mollusk."
Oh yeah, that sounds better, don't ya think?
Much luck.
Congratulations!! You will excel in this next chapter. Our loss is seminary's gain... but hopefully one distant chapter will have you return to green heaven. MP
Congratulations again Mr. Roux. You're going to rock.
Get the fuck off of my obstacle!
... and remember Dave Rhoden.
So glad to hear your news! PLEASE keep us posted as much as you can about you new digs, religious experiences, etc.
XOXOXO

My rule of thumb when it comes to moving is "Don't help, don't ask for help."
Hopefully your new milieu is as urbane as your current one... Or are you headed towards (ew) Boston or (shudder) New York?
