A major life change forced me to look over my life and decide what’s important and what is not. I guess you could say by participating in 43things I’m still screwing around, but that’s subjective. I’ve cut off my addiction to free online games and no longer linger on the internet just to be on it. Now I only go on at home when there’s a need to, like looking up directions or the hours of a store. I have much more time now to cook, clean, read, and spend time with people offline. It’s tiring to exert physical energy instead of just your fingers typing/clicking away but so worth it. Maybe in a couple months time I’ll have regressed or maybe improved to the point where I can say I’ve accomplished the goal.

...but after 14 years they dumped me so I guess I was wrong. Or maybe soulmates aren’t forever, it’s just someone who feels like you could spend the rest of your life with. Soulmate doesn’t mean it will last no matter what. You have to work on the relationship just like everything else in life, or else your souls drift apart.
last year i went to new england for the first time and hit several states. (drive throughs count for me) this year i went to both washingtons, dc and the state. perhaps for my next vacation i should drive in a line across some of the states i have not been to. that or spend quality time in the states i only drove through in the past.
