Long Line of Events Preceding


It's been an interesting string of events this past month; My Tablet failed on me and then came back to life, I attended the Star Wars Celebration V (pictured above), my old phone up and died on me (right before the convention) and so I had it replaced; it's hard to tell if things are looking up or down for me at this moment. Past week's been shining well on me and the weekend ahead doesn't show signs of getting any less adventurous; after a month or two in Florida I'm taking the drive up North back to NJ to decide wether or not I'm able to sign up for a Masters Degree course or if securing a job is more important at the moment. Big decision, I've done it once before when going for my Bachelors. No offense working world but I think I'd rather enjoy the classroom for another year.

Ever hear of Con-Drop? It's the unnerving feeling of wanting to be extra social you get after attending a convention. Symptoms include: Going to more social events then can fit in your schedule, a vested interest in conventions you normally wouldn't be interested in (Car Show? Really? Might be fun!), and more hours clocked on Twitter and Facebook searching for new friends you met at the con. It's a real ailment that effects many on-occasion con goers; I had it, that whole week following the convention. There's no way around it, the best course of action is to just attend local events and hold firm your wallet. No Car Show for me thank you.

Shouldn't be completely ignored though; This increase in social behaviors results in an increase of mood and motivation. Talk to anyone on a Con-Drop and you'll realize that not only are they up for anything, but they'll be more then happy to do it. They are some of the greatest people to hang around with.

Speaking of motivation, I'm practically Brimming with it. Con-Drop plus a new 3G phone means more content to share; so I say, time to start on the right foot this time with the blog. Hope all you reading will stick with me on this, it's going to be a fun ride.
