The Who? Baba O Riley
So, I went back down to Otown (as we Orlando people call it) for Tgiving. It was rather fun this time around due to some unexpected visitors...rather a couple that my family knew who live in Novi, MI now. They recently got married so talking with the guy was kinda fun b/c he was "around" my age and knew MI well. The other was my bro's gf who I talked to more this trip than any other time....that's b/c she lived with us for 3 days. She's fun, teasable, fights back, and is just perky and so nice. She basically is like my clone in how we think, and my brother is the total opposite...but I realized that that's why they work as a couple. They get fun out of arguing and giving in in the end. I think the last part to that sentence is the important part. They compromise and it finally works out. I'm glad for them, but feel jealous. That's natural. She's off to med school, so I also give them a high five for being able to do the distance ALL the time and being faithful. American peole (I know that's a general term) aren't so much like that. They can't do that because they need to be with someone at all times OR need the sex. So they'll lie or cheat or just wont make the sacrifices because dating someone else just seems like a better option. That's the thing I'm the most jealous of in their relationship. Their commitment and sacrifices they've made for nearly 4 years now. People in this country aren't used to just dating someone seriously without having sex. I'm so sick of that. I want to date someone who doesn't want to touch me or get with me after a night or even after a REALLY ,REALLY long time. Is that so hard? What happened to not going over to someone's place until way down in the relationship or just going on dates and only kissing?
One of my all time favorite songs is On Saturday Afternoons in 1963. Play it for me sometime randomly. I'm sure I'll smile.
I'm at a crossroad to where I'm going in life/career. It stems from my background and family and this feeling of being successful or a nobody. You'd have to know me to know what I'm talking about. I don't like venturing off into places where I feel uncomfortable or where others could be better than me. E.g. I thought about design school, but I'm not quite sure how I'd stack up to others. I'm sure most of them wouldn't know how to add 3+3, but maybe I wouldn't even know how to select colors for a room (which I dont know how to do properly). But maybe that's what they teach you there. The only advantage I have over them is that I'm smart. I dont particularly see a designer as a smart person. However if you say you're an ibanker, you're automatically smart b/c that's what it takes to get into those shops. You may not have any sort of creative element in your brain, but at least you're smart. I think I fall somewhere on the mid right side with the very right as intellect and the very left as intellectually stupid/creative genius. Being in design school isn't about being the best designer (unless you really are). It's more about how well you are a businessman. That's true about anything I suppose. If any of you DO read this journal, you'll notice how haphazard my entries are. Perhaps that is how my brain really is. It's not ADD. It's more like I can't get everything out on this thing as fast as I want to.
