So I was driving to my piano lesson yesterday in Acton as I usually do on tuesday afternoons. While on the highway I noticed a figure on the side of the road. As I drove closer, I could see that this person was a old man. Getting closer I saw that he was holding two things in his hands. In one he had a sign and the other contained a walking stick. At about 15 feet away from the man I noticed he was blind. At this point I completely stopped paying attention to the road and watched him as I passed. The sign he was carrying read something like "please drive me to Taunton". Now this was honestly the most depressing thing I have ever seen in my life. I assume that since he was hitch hiking because he had no one to drive him anywhere, but he also must not have anyone to care for him. Who the hell would let a blind man hitch hike, honestly? And to make matters worse he was on a highway by himself. He could have been run over if he made even the slightest move in the wrong direction. Now he could have possibly been faking it, but somehow I doubt that. Lately, I have been making pretty big decisions about what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. College being one of them. I have also been feeling much more isolated and lonlier than usual, mostly because of school but for some other reasons too. Now, It's the point of the post where everyone roles their eyes, but I think that this was some sort of sign that relates to these decisions. I think it means that I really dont know what I'm doing or where I'm going and I might be making the wrong choices in my life. I think I need to get my shit together, but then again maybe it's just a blind guy standing on the side of the road.

On a lighter and completely unrelated topic, I amazingly got shampoo up my nose oday. Oh boy It was so intense, but not as intense as trying to drink soda up your nose.
