Well I'm Running Down The Road Trying To Loosen My Load.

Don't worry I haven't forgotten that this blog exists I have just been very busy doing other things like cleaning my house finding a birthday present for my mother and submitting posts for SYP's Blog AKA the blog that has gotten more hits in one week than I have in 3 months. I suggest you check it out since I'm just one of many people with the privilege of contributing to it. Seriously if you haven't already read all the posts over there go now read them comment on them tell your friends about them then come back here I'll wait... Take your time no hurry... O.K. come back here now.

I recently made an interesting little discovery that I think is kind of significant. When you were in High school you were always told that all the stupid little problems you deal with on a day to day basis would disappear. You wouldn't have to worry about grades or who to take the dance next Friday or other trivial things like that. Unfortunately whoever told you such things was either misinformed or decide to lie to you just a bit. You see these problems don't disappear in fact they grow and evolve into things that aren't trivial. You go into University and grades matter even more and then you get a job and grades change into Job performance and now you no longer get a mark after every test. You may think your an A+ employee when in reality your one task away from unemployment. Finding a date for the dance more or less stays the same eventually becoming who should you marry. If you thought that after leaving high school you wouldn't have to worry about what clothes you wore and things of nature you were wrong again. The way you dress can decide whether or not  you get a job or promotion and then if you get to keep it or not. Plus once your done high school you get the joy of paying rent and buying your own food and creating a budget so that you don't have to resort to selling your kidneys on the black market in order to buy a bagel. I could go but I think you get the point.

Of course some things get much better once your out of high school. You no longer have a curfew your legal drinking age and can vote. You can more or less do as you wish without getting grounded and you have a greater choice in the people you associate with and you can also ditch some of the people you used to know who quite frankly you only tolerated because you had to spend 3 hours sitting beside them every single day. If your at a job or don't think your getting paid enough you can quit or get a raise. (Try telling a teacher or professor that if they don't bump you up to a B+ your dropping the class let me know how that turns out for you)

But back to the main point the problems you face now won't go away however if your smart you will deal with them now so they aren't as big of an issue down the road. Remember if you don't learn from your mistakes your bound to repeat them and I doubt you want to do that. Unless of course their awesome mistakes that make great stories like the time you woke up and didn't know what city your in. If you make those kind of mistakes don't bother learning.

Also it's Spring suck it snowmen!

  1. 4 Years you think for sure
    That's all you've got to endure
    All the total dicks
    All the Stuck-up Chicks
    So superficial, so immature
    Then When you graduate,
    Ya take a look around and you say "Hey Wait!"
    This is the same as where I just came from,
    I thought it was over, Aw that's just great.
    The Whole Damn World is just as obsessed
    With who‘s the best dressed and who's having sex
    Who‘s got the money. Who gets the honeys
    Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
    And you still don't have the right look
    And you don't have the right friends
    Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
    High School Never Ends
    Check out the popular kids
    You'll never guess what Jessica did!
    And how did Mary Kate lose all that weight?
    And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom's straight!
    And the only thing that matters,
    Is climbing up that social ladder
    Still care about your hair and the car you drive
    Doesn't matter if you're 16 or 35
    Reese Witherspoon, she's the Prom Queen
    Bill Gates, Captain of the chess team
    Jack Black, the clown
    Brad Pitt, the quarterback
    Seen it all before
    I want my money back!
