The boy has returned home

well that was a hell of a ride... right on... I have returned to Colorado, my head filled with memories of the times shared, good music, success and defeat; my liver hurts, mostly due to the cha cha 1.50 PBR.
The objective was to mix a little work into play and a little play into work. work quickly got eliminated after the morning after quickly became later that afternoon which then became 'how about brokeback?' and then slipped into yet another round. I was able to catch up with all the good people from the southland, but unfortunately missed a few folk, which I am sad about... and for all those missed you are not forgotten, I raise my glass and would like to say 'cheers' and good tidings.
I did not leave unscathed, I did have to write a report listing my many experiences work related... which with a little creativity and imagination scraped together what appears to be something the boss won't only like, but will likely encourage me to do again. That being said, I don't like being put in a situation which forces me to be sneaky... at the same time, that’s what they get for making me do things I don't like to do... even though they do pay me to do those things.
I want a job where I don't have to be a sneak. A job which would allow me to socialize with really great people, much like all of you. drink beer or tea, but mostly beer. Read great books, watch movies, listen to great music... and where I travel but i don't pay to travel, they pay. that’s what I want... mostly a beer.

a few more items...
I was inspired by my friends homes...
The Gloyds- a humble little spot... sleek and new. shiny, comfy, great neighborhood.
The Simmons- cozy and small, but also very comfy; great neighborhood.
The Bethencourts- cool house, old and mysterious... super comfy with a kick ass yard.

which reminds me, I hate where i live... and I signed a year lease... makes me mad.
But mad turns into glad when I do a little research on the craigs list and realize that good times are not too far away and the few short months leading up to the big move I can begin saving for some furniture that I like. which make me really happy.

if you're looking for a job where...
a) bosses don't care if you drink tea or beer or both
b) you can read, listen to music, and chat with frends, all at the same time
c) you won't do much of anything, besides chill hard core, let alone do things you don't really want to do
and
d) you can make decent money
...may i suggest being a barrista?

wait. i believe that river has been crossed. back to the ol' drwaing board, eh?

AH- Yes, barista... damn... value, life value, purpose... just don't think baristaring'll bring that real life value.
JG- I will join you in your quest to be a hangouter; people will pay us to drink beer, chill, provide some real life insight and watch lots of ball games. now there's purpose...
Selah- not really that funny, more scary... please, tone that shit down...
