It is 11:37pm, Central Daylight Time on the final day of May, 2014. My name is Chris. I am 33 years, 5 months, and 17 days old. My partner and girlfriend of 4 years, 4 months, and some odd number of days cheated on me on May 2nd and we subsequently broke up on May 15th, meaning I have been single for the first time in 4 years for 15 or so full days and some manner of hours and minutes.

 30 minutes ago, I walked in to the door to my house after walking 20 minutes home from my friends M and N's house. I have never walked home from their house before but it was a nice walk and I would do it again. I had an idea earlier today that I am stuck. At least, I feel stuck. For the first time in 4 years or so, there is no predetermined heading for the course my life is required to take. I have a job that is not a career that can take me anywhere in that I work from home. I have no ties or specific responsibilities. But I have no real plan as to what comes next. So I decided the best thing to do is start a blog.

 Yes, I recognize that that is very 2005 or so of me but that is what I decided. This blog would be at its core a daily account of how I spent my time each and every day. Every activity, every feeling. I suspect this blog will be very very boring to someone who is not me but I consider it research in to the Next Big Thing.

 Today is not the first day of that blog, more of a precursor of things to come. I will state, however, that today I did the following things: Woke up very displeased with the fact I am still sleeping on a camping cot in my office at approximately 8:30am. My mom came over and we went on a couple errands. I bought 2 double bacon egg and cheese biscuits and an iced tea at Hardees. I had a coupon. We went to the gas station and the grocery store. I bought burritos, blueberries, ice cream, a clearance pastry and a loaf of bread for M. In the car, my mom and I had a tiff because her answer to any problem I'm having is not to get upset about it because it isn't worth it. Then she complains about the same things every day. I feel like only one of these things is okay at a time. We didn't especially work it out and left the conversation somewhat open.

 I do not know what I did specifically for most of the afternoon. I watched some Doctor Who, part of a movie, texted some and read a lot of Facebook. I played 2048 for a while. I added upcoming events to my calendar. Around 4, I went to M and N's house and spent the rest of the day there. We had BBQ for dinner. One of their kids told me I was her best friend.

 Today, I wore red sneakers, pink plaid boxers, cargo shorts with a belt, and a green software tshirt.
