like an owl: I'm baaack.

The timeliness is important to the reason why I find myself back to the blog.

Failure is frustrating. Inconsistency is failure (in my opinion).

I really take this blog just as serious as any artwork I've ever done.

And it pains me to start a project and never finish it.

[like an owl] is a never-ending art project.

Thus, I'm hopefully back for sure.

Who knows, though?

[I have a lot of projects/ideas on my plate.]

------------------------------

Oh, yesterday was my birthday.

It ranks pretty high up there on past birthdays.

Maybe number 3 or 4.

[My 20th being the best birthday, bar none]

Yesterday was my first attempt at civilized, mature fun.

I never thought I'd say it, but you can't party hard forever.

When I was 18, I projected that I'd be burnt out of the party scene when I turned 22 to 23.

I couldn't have been more spot on.

Last night was my way of finally capping off on the "reckless" chapter of my life.

(Chapter 6, I believe. I'll check later.)

At the beginning of 2011, I moved out.

Since then, I also began exceeding my own expectations with school and art.

A month ago, I started my new job at Starbucks.

And yesterday, I threw one of the last truely classic Matt Obrero social events.

[In classic narcissistic fashion.]

------------------------------

But to conclude, as previously mentioned on Facebook, I would like to say thanks to all the people that have gotten me to where I am at this very moment. All the friends that I have had to share all these long nights and blurry distant memories, whether sober or not. Most of them have come and gone away to college. But it is these occasions, like birthdays, that bring them right back in as if time never lapsed.
