We're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy
So, huge expanse of time since I last updated. A whole shitload of things have happened. I'll probably leave a lot of them unmetioned. In all honesty I dont remember that much right now. I've realised, right now, what Santa Cruz means to me. To me, in my most recent memory, Santa Cruz is summer. Summer vacation to be precise. Remember those Volkswagon commersials a few years ago? The ones with four people in a car driving through different towns named after points in your life. One was wedding, there was prom, childhood, and each of them had an eighties song playing that kinda defined it and made it a cool commercial. It seems like I took that too seriously and have since used the points in my life to describe certain places. Although I do that a lot. Take some form of pop culture too seriously. I think I saw movies like High Fidelity and American Beauty and Fight Club, movies that are mainly about a man throwing his normal life of working aside in favor of starting over or completely changing, too early in my life. Or else I just took them too seriously. Because at this point, the only reason I could see to work at a monotonous job for 25-50 years is to give it up and go crazy at some point. And although that would be fun in the end, I'm impatient and am fine with cutting out the middle man and going crazy now. I've also pondered on those self-finding missions. Maybe I should leave for seven years, travel the world and what-not, and come back as Jesus. Or Batman. Or at least with some direction. I can understand the real reason, though. It's to see how everyone I know would have turned out when I got back. For example, My favorite thing about high school is going to be the 20-year reunion. I've been looking forward to that since grade school. I think I first heard about it on an episode of "Wings", I was like, "you get to see your friends 20 years later? Awesome!" And that was pretty much the gist of it. Oh, by the way, we gotta scanner so I scanned a bunch of pictures but I cant figure out how to put them on here. They are on photobucket, but I cant get them on here, so any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
