I got called in to work tonight, to take a few deliveries. I told Djeri to call me if it gets busy, so I didn't mind at all (and hey, I made $24 in less than 2 hours of work).
Driving, especially after I've dropped off the food and I'm on my way back to the store, is one of those periods of times where I just get into a thinking mode. It also happens a lot when I'm in the shower (when I'm not busy jerking off in there).
Tonight I was happier than I had been a week or two ago. Or even a few days ago perhaps, when I just sat down and wondered what the hell went wrong in my life. I used to catch the breaks. Preparation was there to meet opportunity, and thus I had my luck when I needed it.
But the last several months, maybe couple of years, it all was crappy. Never a break for Good Ol' Johnny Brown. Sucked at school, sucked at finances, car breaking down, myself breaking down...
But now some breaks are coming back. I prepared, opportunity arrived, and luck was there. I'm getting stuff done to progress in my life. It's good.
I'm completely stoked about starting school in a couple of weeks. Sure, it's a far cry from being a Gator at Florida, but it's something to challenge me to a degree. My mind is ready to be taught.
I'm going out with the Market Street Crew regularly now. Friday nights are filled with 80s music, and the dance floor lights up I shake it, much like a salt shaker. Human interaction has been beneficial in getting me out of this slump.
And now I look where I stand today, right now. I realize that some people will always be at my side. Many faces and come and passed through my life in recent years, but where are those people now? Our paths have separated, my phase of seeing them regularly died off. They were temporary distractions of sorts, making me believe I was enjoying life.
But in the end, it appears that I have a very solid set of peers. Some may never forgive nor forget things I did that hurt them, but somehow they manage to not kick me out of their lives. For this I am grateful. Others I don't see or talk to on a consitant basis, but I know they are there for me, and I hope they know I'd be there to back them up any day.
All these people are some of the greatest I've ever come across. And I have high confidence that I will maintain contact with them for years to come.
That is more than I ever could have expected in life.
Peace and love, y'alls.
And go Gators!
