everything in perspective
Well, to put it bluntly this summer has not been as good as one might hope. That is from the perspective of the 19 year old, recently kicked out of his house. This whole situation has been constantly lingering in my mind ever since it happened. I try to push it to the back because to be honest I really hate trying to cope with it. Getting kicked out however has had a lot of positive things about it. First off is the sense of liberation. I was never happy at home because I was the kid that the family didnt include. I was just kind of there, one of those things that you try to ignore. I guess ever since I graduated high school, my parents adopted this tough love ideal....A pretty shitty idea if you ask me, but it might turn out alright in the long run. Who knows. But all that aside, after the recent altercations between me and my parents, I have not spoken to either pair, and while part of me misses talking to my Dad about movies or telling my Mom how my life is going, Im still pretty happy. Right now I live with Jared, Aaron, Tom and Dana. And its a more fun and loving family than I had at home. Which is great, I love being around the house. Not only is there always someone who wants to talk or hang out, there is a constant supply of food and I dont have to live off of Pop-tarts which was never that much fun, nor of any true nutritional value. I have started to drink more, which is something that I need to stop before it becomes a problem. Last night I was increasingly inebriated and I just thought to myself how stupid it really was. Now, dont get me wrong, when I drink with Jared Aaron Tom and Lee, thats when I have the best time. Im around good friends nothing TOO stupid happens, and there is a wonderfully awesome atmosphere devoid of any fucking drama. Something that is rather tough to find. Yet quite refreshing. I havent been able to see people like I could if I had a car. So if you havent heard from me or seen me in awhile.....I still love you....But times is hard. So I gots to work on gettin a job, and once I can afford a car, we can chill. I will be here until December or January. So if you guys wanna hang out, just give me a call....and I can kick your ass in guitar hero or come November Guitar Hero 2. Anyways, I just thought this could use a little updating. Its been awhile. Later kids
