This is a goodbye blog but because I’m me and because my brain NEVER works in the same order as everyone else’s I’m not going to tell you the standard “this is how it all ends” story. Instead, I’ll tell you how it all began.
Not the generic, interview “how did you get to be a Frag Doll” version, but the real from my head and my heart story of how I ended up here.
I will write it in the only way I know how; improper and in true A.D.D. style. I will write as if I was writing in my personal diary. I will recap some events; I will be more detailed with others. I will ramble on at times. I will misquote and paraphrase conversations, but I will tell my gamer story as I have always seen it in my head...... READ MORE HERE. (Warning: Sensitive subject matter and explicit language.)

I see a man washing windows outside of Starbucks. It’s hot outside. As I order my coffee I buy a bottle of water and bring it to him.
Me: Hey it looks like you could use some water.
Window washer: WOW! How did you know?
ME: Hee. Wild guess. Have a good day.
I go back into Starbucks, prepare my coffee and make a quick pit stop to the restroom. I feel great! (I really had to pee!) I leave Starbucks and walk toward my car.
*HEY!*
I turn around to see the window washer calling out to me.
Window washer:There aren’t a lot of angels in this world but you’re one of them. Thank you.
Me: *embarrassed/blush face*
Window washer:I think you’re one in a million.
Me: Well I think that people matter. That is all.
Window washer:when did you realize this?
Me:umm, kinda recently actually.
He seemed very interested in my new found enlightenment. We moved in closer to each other, positioned ourselves in a more relaxed stance and from there our small talk started to develop....
He told me about his bachelor degree and how he was a software engineer, but unfortunately management and him did not see eye to eye; He butted heads with them daily. He wasn’t happy. One day he was visiting his friend’s art gallery when he saw a man outside happily washing the windows of his friends building. The mans enthusiasm for washing windows intrigued him enough to walk outside, introduced himself and asked the man all about his career in the window washing business. He liked what he had learned and soon after he quit his job as a software engineer, started up his own window washing business, where he now gets to work for himself (“slack off occasionally”) and meet/talk with interesting people all day.”Life is good. I’m happy now.”
And this is the story of Cornelius, the window washer I met outside of Starbucks. Sept 15th 2011 2:13pm

Umm yeah. I don’t even know what happened here. o_O
I’ve been drinking the crazy lately- I blame my behavior on exhaustion, dancing since PAX Prime, GameStop Managers and CODXP. Check it!
If you’re wondering what the ending is all about, its stuff I’ve heard at events this month.

This image is a perfect example of what happens to me on a daily basis: I get motivated to do RANDOM STUFF at the
MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES.
Enjoy.
