"Learn how to hide your feelings"

Jul 03, 2004 19:31

At what point should a person give up on something? Is there a set point where a task, a project, a friendship should be abandoned? I think everyone has an idea where they stand on breaking points but, I might have a problem with realizing when things are truly over and it's time to move on. As sad is it is to see people leave for school and to get back into the swing of things, it is far sadder to know a friend is a stone's throw away and you still dont make time for each other. This is obviously a vent and I am guilty of the same thing so no one get bent out of shape. I work so much that it numbs me sometimes. I look forward to see people that are happy to work just like me. I enjoy the weekly paycheck that never even sees the light of day. It gets shipped out in the mail and shipped into my savings. July always bums me because summer's half over. In a sense it's even more than half over because your mind is occupied with school things as August approaches. I want to be more social and drink and do things that people my age do, but at what cost? Alyse and I will always joke that we would be the one in a million case to OD on our first use of a drug or get alcohol poisoning or something dumb along those lines.
I saw the Fahrenheit 911 movie with Jenny in Syracuse and we had a blast. That movie was all right, but the reason I did find it informative was how it explained the oil connections. I never understood that aspect of politics. It is very unsettling to think about how we really don't know everything out government is up to. We also went out to dinner at Kahunaville and enjoyed the ride up and back. It's never gone by so quickly. All yall know I sing like a freak any chance I get, but hanging out with Jenny is just as comfortable because she's such a sweet person. We sang along to rent and the last five years. It was one of those "feeling infinite" summer moments that I long for on cold October nights. I am looking forward to a three day vacation at the shore with the family and family friends. Maybe someday I can own and manage hotels on the shorelines. That'd be great. Have a great week/month everyone. The latter is if I don't get around to updating for another few weeks. Happy Fourth of July! I'm spending it with Jenny and my lifeguard buddies so maybe I'll write about it because, c'mon, can a guy ask for any better company?
