Well, I've done it again.

I've gone and left my blog sit for several weeks, just like I always do. I've left out a whole bunch of lottery events, a break up, and probably some other things that are at least of moderate interest. In my defense, I've hardly had a day off since I last posted. I can come back later and write about the events, because writing about them during ribfest is probably a bad idea, since I'm slightly peeved for having even reminded myself of ribfest.

Rachel and I are no longer together. It had been coming for a long time, I think from both sides. We were fighting, we didn't agree on much, and my being on the road constantly was very bothersome to her. I'll probably be on the road for at least a few years after I graduate, so that conflict was worrisome to me. I also really hated fighting all the time, and the fact that we didn't agree about politics, the future, or money made it hard to avoid frequent fighting. I stand by my decision to end our relationship, despite the fact that I still had feelings for Rachel.

I do not stand by the drunken and Bobby-influenced state and manner in which I broke up with her, but I cannot go back to last week and change it.
