I listened to the Hummel Trumpet Concerto on the radio and all my USM memories punched me in the face. I felt like I've been gone from my old life for too long. I shut a part of my life out.
I've been working at a community center for the past five months. It makes me wish the American Economy was stronger. The cost of living in Australia is virtually identical to the United States, however... their minimum wage is nearly double ours. Americans wonder why Australians seem to be such easy going people. Despite having to put up with more unsolved disappearances of people and celebrity stingray deaths, they spend less time working and more time with their families (theoretically).
I've finally gotten to a point in my life where I can think for myself (I believe I started thinking for myself at age 23... I was finally weened from the nipple !!YAY ME!!). This has lead me to believe that I have some morsel of control over what I do with my life and maybe it is time for me to pour gasoline over my old life and click the lighter a few times. I'm not actually going to torch it so much as torment and threaten it with the prospects of burning to ashes.
I've been trying to save up money and pay back some debts. Work doesn't pay enough. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet, work my legs off (your legs suffer more than your ass... trust me) and get the money I need to clear out. It is the absolute worst feeling... owing money to someone that you feel like you are screwing over.
I failed to say goodbye to everyone when I left Hattiesburg. Believe me, I turned into a big sap in the truck on the way home. It is the first time I've actually watered up over something that mattered in my life. I realized how much I truly cared about someone on the way back. I'll steal your violin one day just to make you see me.
I managed to watch the OSU/Gators game and I was extremely disappointed with Ohio State. I really thought they would outright slaughter Florida. I thought it was amusing that OSU was served Gatorade during the game. I went over to Robbie's house for a small gathering to watch it. A cute friend of his was there. She told us about some guy that hit on her... "You're so nerdy, my dick hurts." FANTASTIC!!! She definitely had that "Nerdy Hot Girl" thing going on.
... thinking of something else to type ... nothing ... blah!!!
