hello, all! I know it's been a couple days since my last post, but I've been busy. I worked my butt off (not literally, unfortunately) at both of my jobs (one paid, one not) and helping the parents out with cleaning and organizing the house. Mom doesn't seem too interested in cleaning so much as hiding the messes and junks she accumulates. Dad's doing his best, but when mom holds the reigns of power, there's not much he can do. I have a feeling those reigns can be a bit restricting for him.
I've also been busy at working out my future, post-college. I definitely don't have anything set in stone, but right now they seem to be written on the stone to be chiseled in at a later date. Not permanent marker, but it won't smudge either. I definitely want a job that will provide me with the time and inspiration to keep writing and, please dear god, publish a successful book (or fifty) that will rake in the big dough. I don't necessarily want to be rich, but I want a comfortable life and money to help others if at all possible.
I actually started this post intending to write my goals and resolutions for the next year. Unfortunately they rarely come true or are followed, so I don't want to jinx them. I will say I want to loosen up a bit, not be so fricken' closed in. I know to some people it looks like I'm a pretty outgoing guy and all that, but I hold so much inside, and it feels like I'll burst if I don't let it all out once in a while. Even the most trained dog will have to shit on the carpet eventually if not let outside to do his business. Maybe that's why I feel so shitty.
Anyways, I just want to wish everyone (like all three people who read this) a happy and healthy New Year, not to mention a sense of accomplishment with your own resolutions. Goodnight all, I have to let the dog outside now because mom can't do it on the way to bed (even though she's in the kitchen, which is right next to the back door and I'm at the opposite end of the house.) but that's not too surprising. For hating when her father did that, she sure is good at doing it herself. It may very well be the ONLY thing she does herself.
