March 16, 2005 - Breaking up is hard to do...that is both a song lyric and the story of my life for the past week. After resigning at work, I've had to share the news with many friends and groups that I will no longer be able to participate in anything with them because I am moving. Every night of the week I have to 'break up' with another person or group. Tonight was the big band. Last night was the pop-cover band, the previous night were people at work. I am not very keen on the idea of telling people I am moving, because it makes me feel like I am abandoning them for something better. I'm not leaving my friends and groups because I wasn't satisfied with them. I'm leaving because I need to move on to something new in my life, or I will be stuck living in Cincinnati sitting in my cubicle with more and more stress for years. Hopefully at the end of my transition I will be able to keep my old friends and make some new ones, keep in touch with my old bands, and start some new ones.
