(no subject)
I am growing a beard. if you see me around, please do not hesitate to congratulate me on how thick and full it is.
On a warm day, I plan to skip school and bike out to central massachusetts, or perhaps concord. They're basically the same. Here are some things I would do if I never had to go to high school again:
--Sell drugs or work for a little while in order to make money to buy a lot of books and music.
--Buy a fishing trawler and make it my home.
--camp in the woods somewhere
--Go into the desert
--Start a country band
--read
--have adventures
--VISIT MARCO AND JACOB BAEZ IN FLORIDA
--go to barcelona
--go to Uruguay
--make a computer virus where whenever you pressed a key the computer would crash and a message would come up saying "fuck your computer. go outside."
--Send the virus to the entire internet
--go running
--go swimming
--rockclimb
--find the craziest roofs to scale
--learn to play guitar, mandolin, viola, and banjo
--abandon my US citizenship and join the olympic team of some small nation.
--eat
--be a truck driver
--be a farmer
--be a fisherman
--become friends with ALL the cool celebs. teach them to not be losers.
--wrassle
--hike the AT
--become a folksinger who doesn't suck and isn't pretentious and isn't a subculture rockstar
--hangglide
--become friends with Pashtun folks in afghanistan
--play kickball, basketball, and soccer as well as "British Bulldog"
--Freeze tofu and make popsicles (believe it or not)
--fall in love like all the time
Tomorrow in school I am going to listen to music way more than I am technically allowed to; the same goes for eating. I am going to practice tags instead of taking notes, and chances are that I will take a trip supposedly to the bathroom every period. Looking out the window in History today, I saw cars and felt worried that they were all going somewhere meaningless. I think school prepares us for a lifetime of driving to meaningless places with no companionship other than Magic 106.7. Fuck your computer. Go outside.
Love,
Dan
P.S. I generally don't do el jay surveys, but I saw one question that I thought i would like to answer: What is your favorite lie to tell? My favorite lie is when I tell people about the time I smoked PCP and beat up three cops even though they had broken both my legs and I was unaware because I could not feel pain.
P.P.S. On a serious note, if Nazis EVER come to our school, to recruit kids or give out CDs or whatever kind of nonsense Nazis like to do, I say that we violently repel them. We shouldn't wait for the police or house deans to disperse them. We shouldn't stand around and utter the cliche old adage, "I hate what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." No, I think we should give them a beating so bad that they realize that facists are not welcome in Arlington and never will be. You all know that I am a peace-loving person, but not so much when it comes to Nazis. The way I see it, you can't go around advocating the murder of jews, people of color, and other folks, and not expect folks representing or allied with those groups to stand in self-defense. Nazis have come to other schools in the area, and I say it's time for us in A-Town to get ready.
