I'm officially 30 /shutter. Though my birthday is forever tainted anyways. My mother passed away 12 days after my 14th birthday, so I usually just get sad as *** for the first half of the month, and reflect on things. That's kind of how it goes, and it's always triggered by my birthday.
Oh god that sucks. I'm sorry, man. I guess you have a good reason to dread your birthday, then. Also, don't worry about 30. I'm about a year and a half away from it, myself. Soon, I'll be joining you.
Oh, it's all good gents. It's one of those things, that completely alters your course in life. It's one of those "Well what if this didn't happen?", scenarios I play over and over in my head, despite it being a futile act. I try to deal as best I can, but it gets hard sometimes, I'm not gonna lie. I'll be ok, it's just this time of year is that gut-check like reminder, ya know?
If you didn't have enough interest in seeing them after what I'm assuming is highschool (I'm too lazy to scroll up even a bit to read), why would you want to see them now? Only if a) you're kinda a douche and you want to show off, which doesn't seem to be your case, or b) there's some girl/dude you want to nail from way back then
Well, it's more like there are certain people I want to see, but they don't really need to catch up with me so much because they're on my Facebook and we still chat occasionally. So it was more or less an excuse to hang out with old buddies. As for chicks I wanted to nail, there were a couple, but now they're all married and junk. Soooooo, that's not in the cards.
Who knows what the future will hold. But, I'm right there with ya for the most part. Have you left the city/town you graduated from at all, or are you still there?
I left once when I went to college for a semester it was a huge shock going from a tiny town of 500people to a school of 10k. Though I couldn't afford tuition and decided to get a job in my hometown first to save up for it. That's why I was working at that shitty grinding job.

Been there, too. It's a strange feeling moving from a small town to a big city; I'm still not used to it. In fact, I'm just counting down the days until I can go back to a smaller town where I belong. I think though that one of the reasons I want to go to my reunion is just to go back home and wax nostalgic about the days before I decided to move to Arizona. I guess it's kinda strange, but I'm a nostalgia machine in case you haven't noticed, yet. But if you live in the same town you graduated from, it's different. Now instead of flying for 5 hours, you just have to drive to your school. I feel like that makes a difference.
I miss high school a lot tbh. The classes were easy, it was nice seeing people on a regular basis that didn't hate their job, and I never had to pay bills. >:(
Suppose that's life though.
I couldn't imagine moving out of Texas if I did it would prolly be Montana I've heard good things about it. How big was your home town Mag?
Oh, this is a fun question. Believe it or not, I started off wanting to be a rockstar. I got a dead end job in town and an apartment with a friend of mine. She flaked out on me and after three months we got evicted. So I moved in with my father in Milwaukee and said I was going to college. But, I never did. I wasn't ready for college then, and I probably would have either failed or dropped out. Instead I got a job at Hot Topic and eventually another dead end job at Pizza Hut. Got an apartment with my brother (who also flaked out on me... noticing a trend, here? Next place I'm getting is by myself!) and at that point I eventually was alone in an apartment, can't afford food or electricity (they had shut us off for about a year) and hoping against hope that my band (me and one other guy) would eventually get noticed and yadda yadda yadda. Well, my father called me up (he was paying for my phone that I would charge up at work) and one more time (oh yeah, he moved from Milwaukee to Phoenix, Arizona) he offered to take me under his wing and to start my life fresh. After dealing with the harshness of life without an education, I finally got my head on straight and accepted. So, I moved in with him out here and concentrated on my schooling. Also, I've kinda been in college a littler longer than I should have, but that's because I depended on my advisers who put me on the wrong program and set me back about 3 years, thus why it's going to take me 7 years to get my bachelor's degree. But, next year I'm doing a full year of student teaching and I'll finally be done. From there, I plan on busting my *** to get a teaching job, moving out and one day, go back north somewhere where I belong.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
