Drove home for the weekend to meet/see/hang out with Colleen's Great Aunt from California. She's cool. She's hip. Had an awesome dinner at Bonefish. Yeah you know it.
Oh yeah, I also met the face of evil. It reared its ugly head on my living room PS2 on Friday night. The name of evil...Singstar. I have yet to play it but, my brother and sister play it incessantly. Let me tell you, none of the people in my family have the pipes to carry a tune for more than .004 nanoseconds. So hearing for hours on end it pure joy to the ears. It is no wonder they can't progress very far in the game.
School is good. Classes only on Tuesday/Thursdays again. Pretty sweet, however I'm going for five this time. It has been pretty crazy. There is just so much reading for 3 of my classes. They require more reading this week than I have ever done in the past 3 1/2 years of college. Although they are kinda fun. I'm taking Geography of Europe, Economics of the Middle East, Nazi Germany, Political History since 1876, and The Lost Generation.
Got a haircut finally. No more looking like a hobo. Finally got to hang out with my dad for about an hour today on the couch. Haven't gotten to sit with him or talk with him in a while. Although we didn't say very much compared to how we used to talk, it was still comforting to be in the presence of my father. .
I need a freaking job so bad. If you know anybody/job/thing, hit me up cause I'll be all over it like white on rice.
So, I was at the mall today, and walking around with my little brother. We ran into mom and he decided to ride home with her, even though she wasn't leaving until much later than I was. Since I had been ditched, I decided to take the long way home and drive home via the beach route. Today was nice like any other day, only as I was crossing the bridge, a dense fog rolled out to meet me. I glanced over the edge of the bridge, I saw that the water was choppy and agitated. I rolled past all of my old haunts from the time I got my license. Alot of buildings have been torn down to make way for strip malls and condos. The old restaurants are out of businesses, the little shops are gone. Some of the original storefronts still exist only they were shrouded in the ghostly mist as if to give me one last wave goodbye before I go back to Tallahassee and not see them again. They'll be gone before I get back.
If anything, the experience of being home the last few times has done more to push me away than to move back home. The old fun places are going away, the family just hasn't been the same lately. Maybe a change of place would be good. Find a job and a little apartment downtown.
Watched Zodiac today, maybe San Fransisco would be cool, or New York, or someplace out of Florida and up the eastern seaboard. I don't know where but I'm hoping that when I get there the fog will be rolling out and showing me new great things or just the same old things in a new place, instead of advancing on some of my favorite places and taking them away.
Falling off the cliff of today and landing on the edge of tomorrow, signing off now.
