Well, for once it's a journal about myself and not my rantings for now. I can actually hear that people reading that last sentence clicking the back button on their browser windows, but screw them, on with things.

I haven't written as much, despite the fact that I have plenty to say. Things have been busy, as I've just suffered through one of my hardest semesters yet, and finals are almost here, so I better say somethings since summer means lack of internet for me, except at the office, and that's still limited.

I got my old job back, so starting May 15th, I'll be back at Peck Farm Park. It's a wonderful prairie preserve in Geneva, IL, and if anyone reading this is in the area, I strongly recommend you visit this summer. We have one of only three butterfly houses in the state, and it's my duty to keep it running, so we always appreciate visitors.

I haven't been writing as much lately. My poetry (as if anyone here still reads it) has taken a seat for the time being. My writing lately has been much more of the performance type. I've been getting a lot of positive feedback lately on my comedic rantings on the world around us, and have been adapting it into a joke format. I figure as long as I'm about to hit 21, and I'm a huge fan of stand-up comedy, I might as well try my hand at an open-mic some night this summer and get my ass booed off the stage. But at least I'll be able to say I tried.
