Look, it’s not my place to gloat. Firstly, I don’t have all that much to gloat about and secondly it is wildly against my general disposition in regard to how I present myself. I will admit to being prideful; indeed I will admit to holding my ground when pressed on a subject or activity in which I feel any sort of confidence. I will also admit to not pressing myself too heavily to bend my person to make those around me feel better about themselves; those days are over.

That said, it is ridiculously difficult for me not to sound very much like I am gloating in saying my life is just about as awesome as I am prepared to deal with just now.

I have made what is colloquially referred to as a “career step” and am exceedingly happy with the decision. My new place of employ is a terrifically fast paced gig with a steady flow of large named clients who want things invented, things hacked to pieces and things made a little bit more awesome in just the way I know how. It is as though my strengths were concentrated into a single job. I go in every morning knowing when I go home I will leave the world (well, the marketing world, at least) with either something new and different or the promise of something new and different shortly.

Lex and I have a new pad. It’s bigger than the last and just a stone’s throw from all of our familiar places of interest. We’ve just gotten done unpacking and everything looks absolutely smashing. It was home the moment we stepped into it together, however.

It’s hard for me, in times like this, not to step back and just reel with how sweet things can turn out.
