late blog bloomer

so it seems i've inherited my parents' gift for being the last person on the block to try anything new...as a kid we were always the last to buy all the new fangled toys...microwave...vcr...video game system...most of my friends have blogs so i figured "hey...mebbe this blog thing isn't a passing fad after all"...being the first entry and all...it might be a good time to give everyone a quick rundown...

i'm closer to 40 than to thirty...this is a frightening thought in and of itself...when my parents were my age my sister was 15 and i was 12...holy crap!!!...luckily i don't look my age...most people think i'm in my mid to late twenties...i've only recently stopped getting carded for alcohol...lmao...i'm the graphic design department chair for a design college here in silicon(e) valley...it's one of those jobs that's a mixture of love and hate...i love working with the students and witnessing that moment when they finally "get it"...but on the flipside i despise having to deal with the corporate beauracracy (it's a "for profit" school)...i'm getting married on may 14th of next year...refer back to the "last person on the block" passage...we're in the process of selling our current home to move to a bigger one so we've been spending the past few weeks "renovating"...

on the hobbies front...i don't have a whole lot of free time for hobbies...i'm finishing up my master's degree at san jose state university majoring in political communication...one of those "what are you going to do with THAT" degrees that is only attainable through some sort of liberal arts program...when i do have free time i love to travel...i've spent quite a bit of time in latin america...and spent a few weeks in europe...other than that i'm fairly happy just hanging out with friends...

anyways...i guess that was enough to get the ball rolling...til next time...pleasant dreams...
