Life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.
So yeah, this week was the week of the Boone County Fair. Every year it seems to get more and more boring, but every year I find myself going. It used to be that you could show up at 4 in the afternoon and hang out with about 20 different people. Now if you show up at 9 pm you might see only a few you know and chances are you probably don't even want to talk to them. And what's with all the 14 year old hoes that wear shit that would make a stripper blush. On top of that they say hi to you like it's ok to hook up but no thanks, I don't plan on going to jail...especially for some R. Kelly bullshit. Anyways, I've only gone a few times this year and I think tomorrow will be the last for me.
Today my friend and roommate from my freshman year in school called me and told me he got a job with the Rockford Police Department. First of all, congratulations to him. He deserves it and I was confident he had it from the beginning. When he told me I felt kind of jealous. It was my choice to leave school for personal reasons and during that time I did a little soul searching. I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to be a cop but lately I find myself back where I started. I've always wanted to help people and that's always what I'll want to do. I think what scared me off from it before is all the bullshit that can come from being a cop. People see that badge and think you're a dick right from the start. Yeah, there are a lot of cops that love using their power and it's happened to people in my own family. Thinking about it, I think it's stuff like that that will keep me more straight than the rest. Anyways, moving on. I could go back to school but I most likely won't, at least not right now. You don't actually need a degree to be a cop. It helps, but it's not a set-in-stone requirement. Mainly, I just need to get into shape. I've just started a major diet to lose about 20-30 pounds. It pretty much consists of tuna and water. I've never been a big tuna eater but it's not too bad, especially when you mix mayo with it. And since I still need a carbonated beverage of some sort, Coke Zero will be it. After I lose a substantial ammount of weight, I'll start running and working out. I'll probably get a membership at Peak Fitness since it's opened 24 hours. I wanted one at either Lady Wellness or Curves so I wouldn't feel so insecure but sadly I don't have a vagina. Oh well.
I'll end this by giving a big thank you to all of my friends that have been really supportive during these last couple weeks. They were hard for me but they would have been a lot worse if it wasn't for you guys. Going out with all of you and just having a good time really helped keep my head clear. Also, thanks to the ones that weren't physically here. Whether your words of encouragement was over the phone or in an email, I really appreciate it. You all reminded me what friends are for. I owe you all a big one. My 22 birthday is next month so I hope all of you can make it a kick ass night with me.
