Milestone

Yeah so the past couple posts have been complete lies.  I don't have a beard, or a knitting habit, or an ex-love-interest named Nachenka, although I did have a cool ending worked out inspired by the music video for Élan.  What actually happened is that I suspected that my volleyball team found this blog.  The lies were a last ditch attempt to throw those fuckers off the trail, but that doesn't really matter now:  we're not playing together in the summer, and since as of this season I am currently the worst player on the team, come fall there is a 50/50 chance I will see my entire former team on the other side of the net.  Its just how we roll.  So it doesn't really matter anymore what they think of me, or if they find out, for example, that I spent an afternoon wandering around Mt Rainier looking for a place to fuck in knee-deep snow.

The real takeaway is that I really, really need to stop telling people about this fucking blog.  The official story now is that I had a blog, but I got bored and can't remember what it was called.

Anyway.

Onto the good shit:  the fucking app is done.  Tonight I have just finished implementing all of the  features on my "paid customer" checklist and sent the release off to my business partner to run a test pass.  This is the fork in the road, people.  If my business partner cannot get a single person to pay for it, then I've just wasted thousands of dollars and years of my life.  Which is fine, cause I'll be free.  On the other hand, if just one person is willing to pay for it...well, that's a game changer.  Because all we have to do then is get a second person to pay for it.  Or approach investors and get some cash to hire employees.  Or just sell my fucking half and walk away happy.  Who knows?

I do know I have like a hundred ideas for projects I want to work on.  I should also probably try to make some friends in this place.  I don't know if its possible to make real friends--the kind with whom you can let your guard down--but I'd like to try.
