** Caution: bad language. **
Welp, a week of "summer" left. I'm actually fairly happy that it's coming to an end. I'm ready to start my last year of school. I think my favorite time of the year is when all the leaves are golden, and everyone's getting ready for Halloween. Fire pits in the back yard, hanging with friends on the front porch having coffee, setting up the school Haunted house...it's all just great.
I think I have a pretty good plan for after high school. I'm going to find a job and work my ass off and save up as much as possible. Live in a car or at my parent's if I have to. Hey I'm not saying living with them is bad or anything, no. I love my family to death. But I can't stay with them forever. I really want to move out, I just don't know where too. Anyway, I'm going to work for maybe a year or two, hopefully sell some artwork on the side, and once I have enough I'm going to take off and travel. There are some places I need to go to in particular where there's people I want to see. (Long-distance friends and my older brother and his family, in case you were wondering. Haha)
After that, I'm pretty sure I'll have a good idea of whether or not to pursue college or not. I can't decide that shit now, what the hell do I know? I mean, I think I need to be free of school first and be out into the world first, just to see what my path looks like, you know?
I just wonder how some of the kids I know DO it, be so dead-set in what college to go to and all that. Maybe that's just their nature, and that's cool. It just kills me, man, 'cause we're so young. It even freaks me out to see some highschoolers driving around 'cause they don't look a day over fifteen or something. Do we have to rush into adulthood that fast?...
Maybe I'm being silly. But you know you miss those forts you made out of your mama's sheets. Hahaha..
It's really nice outside right now...dark and rainy with a little thunder. : )
I wish that all of us had more time to appreciate our surroundings, you know? Just be outside and be thankful. Everyone is so caught up in worry and possession. What if all of us were stripped of our houses, our belongings, those beloved iPods and cell phones and x-boxes? Just clothes, food, and tools. And no money! That'd be...incredible. Nothing to feel greedy over. Ah shit, I almost went into the whole stone-age fantasy. Haha, SHIT.
It'd sure as hell be simple, wouldn't it? Look, I know it's never gonna happen nation-wide, trust me I'm well-fucking-aware. Can't keep me from dreaming though, kay?...
I'd like to live a really simple existence, meaning few material possessions, little demand for money or fuel. Maybe grow my own food, when I find a permanent home... and honestly I don't know if that'll happen or not with what I have in mind after HS...though I doubt some friends would let me go homeless. Some. I bet the others would laugh, just like I would laugh. Kay I'm kidding. But I know them. Or at least I think I do...
The point is, I'm just the kind of person that would rather live in a grass hut than in a huge fancy house with all this expensive junk. I that's just...ugh, one of the things that irk me the most. Rich people. God bless all of mankind but come on, why do they need so much shit? Don't they know it could go elsewhere, where it can benefit people that could really use it? Like research facilities for cancer, or people in poverty? Dear God, save the honeybees or something!
Alright...getting off subject.
...So I watched Casino for the first time tonight...nehee.
