4 years ago I was saying the same thing. "I can't wait to graduate to get on with my life. I need something new and different." And I did. High school wore me out and I found it childish and stupid. The people were sophomoric, the teacher's rarely gave a rat's ass (except for a couple), and it lost it's luster.
Has college been any better? Maybe. I've had a lot of fun here at Albright. Was it my first choice? Well no. Anyone who knows me knows where I wanted to go. But I wouldn't trade any of my friends, here, for anything. Most of them are really good people. I can't say what would've happened if I went to Arizona. We can all say "what if...", but you don't know until you try. Sure Albright, as a school, sucks hardcore and I learned that students who leave Albright have a higher debt than any other Liberal Arts college....in the nation! But if I had to do all it over again? Yeah, I'd go to Arizona. But that's not a knock on the people here. Joe, Pete, Nate, Mike....they are all great people and wonderful friends. But it's time to move on and do something new and different. I have places I want to go. People I want to see. Things I want to do. Will I lose total contact with them? I can't say. It's not like I'll be impossible to get a hold of. But yeah, for a while I might not see them. Just look at all my friends from high school I still talk to. Very few. That's mostly by choice though. A lot of people from Prouty I just needed to seperate myself from. I needed to be my own person. And I think I've accomplished that. Now I have to do it all over again.
Grad school is probably out the window. I'm sick of school. I want something else besides sitting in a class room and writing papers and researching all this shit. I need to do something. I think my new motto is "Move West, young'n." See the world. Or at least the US. There's a lot of new and exciting people out there that you won't know about until you see them with your own eyes. Sure I'm biased, but yeah. That's how I feel.
Vris Sporting News:
--Celtics down 2-1 and 'Toine is out for Game 4. Ugh. Stupid league. That so didnt' warrant a suspension. Fine, maybe. Probably even. But to sit him out for Game 4? There's a conspiracy just to get Reggie Miller more air time. His "farewell tour". How idiotic is that? Doesn't anybody realize he has giant ears? He could fly away with those things! With no 'Toine, AJ has to step up BIG. Like, huge. He can do it and this is the place for him to show that he isn't just a 19 year old boy. This kid is a load and the Pacers have to prove they can bang with him. I don't think they can.
--Hudson v Mulder last night. Mulder got the better of Huddy, mostly because Tim floundered in the first. 4 runs in the top of the 1st inning is not a good start. The botched suiced squeeze by the Cardinals was nice though. Huddy made a great catch. And the Braves battled back, getting the homerun by Jordan to tie it at 4. Pujols answered with a 2-run moonshot, and the Braves got one more but couldn't get that last one to cross. Chipper got too much under a pitch, popped it up in foul ground but it couldn't find the seats. Tough break. It would be nice to win this series. We can't lose too much ground to Florida this early.
I really got nothing else right now. I'm on the facebook if anyone else is.
