Life never stands still!!!
Well, I thought I knew what this summer would hold for me, especially since I was going to be working and living at cedar point for the whole summer. However I could not have been more wrong...nor could I be happier. I'm glad i moved here...in the short time I've been here I've learned plenty of life lessons. The first don't leave your lights on your battery will go dead and people are not as nice as they used to be, when you're parking make sure you're not parking in a spot you shouldn't you will get towed and towing is not cheap, when you're working for a multimillion dollar company be careful when posting transactions...cedar point may be big...however they still cant affort to pay 83,000,000 to a restaurant, the most important always keep a paper register on your checking account, the internet is not always reliable and insufficient funds charges are a bitch. All these lessons are valuable...but they are not the important lessons. The most important lesson I learned here was that your friends are everything, they are your crutch to lean on, a shoulder to cry on, and you can always count on them to give their honest opinions to help you make a wise decision. I've had a rough couple weeks, and to be honest a rough couple years...and my friends have made all the difference. If you want to find out who your friends are approach them with your problems and see what happens. I've done just that and found, your true friends will carry you along when no one else, including your family will. I'm very blessed to have the best friends anyone could ever ask for. To the TRUE friends I have, who may or may not read this, Thank You you have no idea how much you mean to me. The second lesson I learned ironically enough on father's day....and no...I'm not a father...by any stretch. However, I was at cedar point with a bunch of new people whom I hope they don't mind me calling them my new friends. I found that you owe it to yourself to be yourself no matter what. The phrase "Those who mind, don't matter; Those who matter don't mind" speaks volumes. I've always been the guy who tries to be what everyone wants him to be. Now I realize that I don't deserve that, and it certainly is not worth the stress. There are a couple of my friends whom I've talked to since sunday who know what I'm talking about. I'm finally prepared to be myself in the faces of those who intimidate me, those who may judge, and those who may turn their backs on me. I'm prepared to be ...just michael...whatever that may mean to anyone, it does not matter because I know what it means. So It's time to face the music and come home. I have enjoyed working at cedar point, it was a lot of fun and the coastertime I had was definatley a great time. But it certainly does not make up for the lack of friends fun times and summertime....So Hopefully I will find a job and be back home with in 2 weeks...any suggestions??
