I’ve
been receiving messages asking me what the deal was with my last entry.
Well, I’d really rather not to talk about it as I would like to get
back to regular programing (read: writing about masturbation and
penises). It was a terrible shame; let’s leave it at that.

At
first, I thought that leaving out the sad details was poor judgment on
my part because fact of the matter is, what may be ‘terrible’ to one
person; namely one Michael Joseph Villar, male, single, 23 years of
age, Internet professional, overweight and has dark underarms; might be
nothing compared to people in far worse predicaments.

However, I found out lately that a lot of my friends actually read
my blog. So I thought fuck that. By writing the details of how me and
my now good friend Nixie ‘broke up’, one can easily be led to the
conclusion that I’m much more of a chump than I really am. –Cough– Failure to –Cough– consummate –Cough– the relationship.

So what’s up with my life you ask? I feel like I’m obliged to play
catch up here and I promise I would; but I really don’t know where to
start since the weekend was a total fucking drunken haze. The last
cognizant memory I have was from Sunday where one of my college buds
hosted some sort of reunion over at his house somewhere in the
boondocks of Antipolo. I have my apprehensions in going to college
reunions mainly because of the “What are you doing” question. I mean,
considering that most of the people in the party attended UERM for a
pre-medical course, I’ve come to expect that most of them would already
be doctors or at least in their senior year. I imagine myself
approaching my good bud Carlo and having a conversation along these
lines:

Me: “Hey Carlo! Boy, I can’t believe it’s been that
long since we’ve eaten siopao while dissecting cats in comparative
anatomy man! So are you still in med school?”

Carlo: “Hey Mike! … Oh my … damn, you’ve gained a
lot of weight man. Do you ever stand in front of the mirror naked and
wonder how anyone could possibly love you?”

Me: “huh?”

Carlo: “Err.. nothing, forget it. Well, I just
graduated last year, I’m migrating to New York to study cardiology
there. How about you, what are you doing man?”

Me: “Um. I call random people and sell them blogs.”

Carlo: “What’s a blog?”

Me: “It’s like an online journal. Um you can post stuff on the internet, it’s kinda cool.”

Carlo: “That is so lame.”

Me: “Yes it is.”

Carlo: “Like really really lame man.”

Me: “Yeah. But mine is kinda neat because it has RSS feeds.”
