Fast Forward

Woow...months later I have returned to a world I only briefly stepped into. Hello, minions-how has life treated you in my absence? LOL...anyway...
I am leaving the fair town of Pooler to go back into Savannah for now. My initial plan was to stay in Pooler-then I thought-why not downtown? But it seems 3rd time is the charm-for I will be on near I-95, but from a different angle-the southside of Savannah. This will suit me as I prepare to line up my arrangements to leave for New York...
Work is what is has been since October 7th-non existent. I've had one job since then which was a temp job and the company that did "hire" me never called me back with my schedule so suffice it to say I am still unemployed and looking. But by week's end, who knows? I could very well be someone's admin assistant....
I am saying good-bye to those in my life that I do not need and who have betrayed me for their own selfish reasons. I find no honor in that and it tells me nothing short of the fact that they need to be removed from my life before they do any more damage to it. Those people don't deserve my kindness, my love, attention, or concern, so I will separate from them and associate myself with people who are worthy of taking up my oxygen and space...
I am pushing myself through this to get back to one of my first loves--writing. I have felt so different from the Derrell that I used to be that it baffles me. Writing and music were who I was, and yet, here I am without them. Going through a box I found a school newspaper from my junior year with the first real published article that I had written for it. Alongside that, lyrics to a song I wrote in 2004, and reflected on who I was at that time. Much is different, but fundamentally I am the same-or am I really? Have I changed for the better? Or has experience only altered me into a different pattern, a new M.O.? Who the fuck knows...
But I do intend to find out, as I contemplate my menthol cigarettes and myspace profile...many questions I intend to answer soon....but this is day one, after all.
