a moment of silence

I would like to take a moment of silence . . . My oldest sister Amber, is officially a Texan.

Now if you know my family at all you may know that Amber abandoned me 11 and a half years ago to attend college in Texas. However all this time I believe we all considered her a displaced resident of Omaha who would someday return to the greatest city on earth. She backed up these sentiments with her constant and unwavering Omaha pride, and hatred of all things which are considered the culture of Texas (examples: shotguns, pickup trucks, cowboy hats, rodeos, a southern drawl).

All of this came crashing down this morning when I learned Amber had purchased a pair of cowboy boots. She had jokingly invited me to a rodeo the day before, but there was no way I could have seen this coming. With the acquisition of this information, all of my hopes and dreams that my oldest sister would return home were brutally murdered like so many victims in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies that I can only assume Amber now loves. The sister I grew up with is gone, all that is left is . . . Texas Amber.

I imagine this is kind of what it feels like when someone you know becomes a zombie. Obviously you still recognize and and love them, but now they are dangerous and not the person you knew before. Here is hoping that Will Smith can find a cure for being a zombie.

my triumphant return

I don't know that I ever had enough readership to have anyone really mind that I stopped blogging (immediate family excluded), but my ex-girlfriend's mom has apparently been upset that I haven't written anything in a while, so I apologize for my hiatus, and I appreciate the loyalty of my limited fan base.

I feel like I owe an explanation for my abrupt disappearance from the blogging world. Sometime ago I was watching Donnie Darko with my roommates and became fascinated with the idea of time travel. So I began researching and reading about the structure of space-time and the relevant theories on its nature. One thing led to another and I've spent much of the last several months developing a theory on the nature of space-time and simultaneously a love for theoretical physics. Upon my graduation next spring, my plan is to take undergraduate courses in physics and mathematics with the hopes of being admitted to grad school to earn my doctorate in theoretical physics. If anyone remembers my blog about what I should do with my life, I believe I finally have my answer. I thank you all for your inputs and opinions and whether you believe it or not, you helped guide me to what I want to do, even if you did so indirectly. Anyway, I hope that that is a satisfactory explanation for my absence. I will attempt to blog more regularly from now on.

On a completely unrelated note I really miss my siblings.
