SEABORGIUM
As the final semester of my highschool career rolls around, the concept self-reliance becomes clearer and clearer in my mind.
Am I ready for all of this?
The answer, I am sure, is no.
but for myself and so many other relatively well off American teens, it is needed desperately.
I have learned to depend on parents to remedy every whim and downfall. I have never held a real job or paid taxes. My grades are not even that good.
Who the hell am I? To believe that I should automatically get a foot hold on the ladder to success while others slip. Others, meaning those that have worked hard to get where they are.
Bleccch.
I need a reality check.
and now for something completely different...
In my CD player at the moment:
Disc 1: Tribe Called Quest: Anthology
Disc 2: Beatles: The White Album
Disc 3: Tower of Power: What is Hip?
Disc 4: Ugly Duckling: Taste the Secret
Disc 5: Bob Marley: Live at the Roxy
ps. Wiggity Wiggity Wak. *air guitar*
