the days get colder as we approach winter and i couldn't be happier. i mostly remember driving home from briarwood to river rain. i remember a few things like snow but none of them jog my memory like last year. it was my first experience in glorious oakland county. oh...... oakland county.
as much as i say i hate it it always leaves me feeling like i need to discover more. the county itself combined with macomb county does not equal the amount of people in wayne county. although wayne borders both counties the boundries are different. everyone is struggling to stay there while wayne county folks are struggling to leave. something better awaits.... they're sure of it. i never meet anyone from the west side when i'm downtown. it's all about trust fund kids and the terrible lives they lead. i live here because it's cheap. it's downtown and i've met some interesting people.
my boss tells me to look at things in a different way. i usually always listen to him. the thing is is that he is always on it. no matter what goes wrong his bases are covered... he says i need to take control because i am in charge. i'm a sucker for people though. most of the time people dictate what i'm gonna do. i figure i can survive in most situations so it does'nt bother me. i do mostly the bare minimum and do well. if i applied myself and actually took on a different perspective i could probably do even better.
i'm always concerned with being creative. i make music in my spare time and always think there is never enough time. i want to do so much but i can never sit straight enough to follow through. my job fosters a lot of creativity. i understand how it works so i'm gonna roll with it. it's called being one step ahead. i work with very dynamic people that i love. i just wish they could see it my way. work has somewhat become my life and i'm ok with it.
i work at urban outfitters and most of you could not do my job. it is somewhat preparing me to be a politician. i have to make sure everyone is doing well and enjoying what they do while making sure we hit goals and shit. i'm a corportae puppet and i don't mind. when people enter the working world it is never what they think it's going to be.
currently i'm 24 and make enough to live in hamtramck and live comfortably. i'm content with this. i go out and experience detroit daylife as much as possible. i look for creativity in the wrong places but i'm ok with that. i am creative in my own little way that annoys my girlfriend enough. she is my inspiration. i love everything about her. i claim to be unhappy with her actions but i'm not. like she says i'm just looking for problems or something to fight about. i'm not used to being wrong......
this is my admittance though. she's right. she loves me and sometimes i think she doesn't. i'm wrong again. you can't expect people to respond to you in your way. you have to like the way they respond to you. it's what keeps you there.
all in all i don't know people anymore and i still love those i have encountered on the way. i look at things differently. that's just me......
