So I went out today and financed a nice couch and a new bed. Although it wont be here for a few days/weeks, it made me feel a whole lot better. Just to know that some light will soon shine on this darkets apartment was enough to make me smile. Ive done a lot of traveling around today and its amazing how comfortable I feel here. I know that very soon new friends will arrive and I'll get visits from my girlfriend and family, so I am content.
I realized today how much potential I actually have and that my future career and the chemistry that I develop will only go as far as I push myself to learn. I have a gift in that I can learn anything and somehow work my way through any problem. I cant remember shit though, which is a problem. Luckily Im as cocky as a horny bull that is about to bone a ranch full of cows! My mom and uncles have raised me to be cocky when you have reason to be and to always be "fly and fresh to death".
Today is also the one year anniversary for me and my lady and Im pretty excited about that. A years relationship with someone who you actually get along with isnt bad at all.
Its amazing how education never truely ends, after leaving OU, I will be here at Vandy for 4-5 years, and then off to another University somewhere for some post doctoral research. Whats scary is when Ill be in charge of my own lab and research group.
Id write more, but my back is in serious pain. I feel like I tried to give Roseanna a piggy back ride, fat bitch! Hurt my back.
You know what, re-reading this, I notice that in comparison to a lot of people on LJ, I dont have any major life issues. Everything that goes on in my life is usually simple, because I make sure everything stays simple. I never have family problems because in my family I was raised to tell anyone who pisses me off to kiss my ass and with the exception of my granny, everyone pretty much minds their own business. I think that a major problem with the American Family and our country in general is that people do not know how to mind their own business. Seriously, we have some many political conflicts, family battles, fights and arguments because people just cant seem to mind their own shit. Someone is always worried about what someone else is doing. Since parents are often too old to change their ways, its up to the new generations to take care of this situation.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
