I should probably start this off right
So here I am again, at the start of yet another blog. It seems I can’t keep up with these, and yet every few years I feel like I have to start another one. Some things about me you should know: I’m 23, soon to be 24. I live by myself in an apartment that’s way too expensive, but also very nice. I was married once. It ended badly, and while I can’t claim no fault, I take none of the blame for it. To put it simply, she decided she didn’t want to be with me and made it perfectly clear from about 2 months into our marriage. I’m going into the Air Force in February. The plan on that has changed so many time in my head that I’m really not sure what will end up happening. The most current revision is that I’m going in for 4 years, and when I get out I’m going to finally finish my Accounting degree, then go back for a 2nd degree in Physics. While getting my physics degree I’d like to obtain my CPA, and possibly start doing taxes for a small accounting firm or something, but even if I never use it, I’d like to be able to sign my name William R. Wight, CPA. Oh, I guess my name would probably be something I should have led off with. It’s Rob. Comes from the “R.” part (obviously). Hmm, what else? I’m terrible with women. I thought recently that I had found a good one, but then it wasn’t working out, so we agreed to just be friends so we wouldn’t end up not even able to do that, and then as recently as tonight I called her to say I missed hanging out with her (she never seems to want to anymore) and it ended up coming out as me yelling at her for never calling me. I blame stress from the divorce. It doesn’t help that my ex wife has been with the same guy for the last 5 months, but I try not to think about that most of the time. Before her I sabotaged all my relationships before they had a chance to become anything meaningful. Now it seems I just can’t find the right girl, and to at least some extent I’ve started to sabotage myself yet again, though this time it’s sabotaging a friendship, and as best I can tell I’m doing it because I’m not even close to being over her. Before I remained unattached, now I attach to easily. Maybe some day I’ll find a middle ground. I play guitar and write songs. One day I’d like to record them, if Marcus would ever call me back. I’ll have to run into him at a show probably, or maybe I’ll save money while I’m in the service and when I get out I’ll be able to buy my own equipment and do it myself. I used to do that, but got tired of the mediocre results. I think I could do better though, given better equipment and more experimentation, and probably help from my little brother. He’s amazing with live sound, so I’m sure he could help me with certain parts of recording, like EQs etc. I’m very good with numbers, and recently have taken to doing simple math (+,-,/,*) in my head to keep my mind sharp. This is most notably done at my job as IT Production Support for a 3rd party call center, where I process files from clients such as banks and mortgage companies for the call agents to dial on. I end up adding up all kind of numbers (record counts mostly). I like to drink, though rarely do I let it get out of hand. I love my friends but hate that they never call, then act like it’s my fault they haven’t seen me in a long time. I don’t have any really good friends that I see all the time anymore. Oh, here’s a good one: I’ve always wanted to move to a big city and live inside the city in an apartment and have several other single friends that I hang out with all the time. I’m absolutely sure that I got this idea from watching too many sitcoms lol, but I’m also sure that I’d like to try to have that for at least some part of my life. Maybe a year, maybe ten, who knows? I ran my first 1/2 marathon last month, made it 10.75 miles or so before I had to walk. I was hoping to be able to run the whole thing, but it was still the longest I’ve ever run without stopping, so I can be proud of that I guess.
There’s a picture of me, at least a partial one anyway. If you think I’m worth reading about, then you’ve found the right place. I guess you’ll be hearing from me soon.
