Well, it’s now official. As of 2 pm this afternoon, and for the next two weeks, I am homeless. It was an amazing feeling last night, starting at those walls for the last time ever. With every turn I was flooded by a thousand different memories.

But it’s no use trying to live in the past, so I’ll make due with the with couch that has been provided for me, and try not to party too hard. The hardest part is over.

This is the best way I could express how it feels to be leaving my home for the last time tomorrow:

Turn the corner into an empty room.
Leaving behind this part of life just a little too soon.
But keep your chin up, try and look the other way.
With the eve that falls tonight, dawns the light of another day.

So many memories, the good and the bad.
But they were the only times I knew just where to stand.
Now life just slips around me like an hourglasses sand.
I wish I could hold on, but my heart is in my hand.

The friendships broken.
The words unspoken.
The loved ones passed away.

Wish I could lay my head,
My home on River’s edge,
If just for one more day.

And though it kills me deep inside
To leave my one true home this way
I know I’ll be a stronger man,
As years go by, day by day.

But for a little while, please don’t stop me if I cry,
Because with the change of hands, part of my life just died.
Now I am on my own, my childhood fading away,
But I still can’t help but wish I could of held on for one more day.

I don’t know what is stranger: The fact that my boss has just offered me a chance to work some time and a half and a key to the office so I can get in on weekends, or that my lazy ass actually thinks this is good news!

Andrew, what ever happened to that wonderous slacker you once were? Why have you become so responsible? <sob>

Mix Major League Baseball and Japan together and what do you get? A good Salon article, for one thing. (via gmtPlus9)

I have 50 hours until I’m homeless, and we still have a basement full of garbage to clear out. So why am I posting? Because I needed a break, and maybe sharing my misery with others will earn me some pity points. Doubt it, but it’s worth a try….
