old school

So I'm back in college, knee surgery went well and now I'm starting to get a lot of my movement back so I'm pretty fuckin stoked. This year is going to be a lot different, I'm not drinking as much and I have just been focused on what I need to get done for my classes. The toughest part of school now is keeping up with all the shit they put online for your schoolwork. Schools and colleges are trying to save money by getting rid of all the books and forcing everyone to do all their coursework on the computer. It's confusing to say the least, because the software developers fucking suck at organizing online courses in a somewhat logical and coherent way. Costs the students money for computers and the colleges less for all the paper they don't have to use as well. Way to shift the cost of education back onto the broke ass college students like myself.

It is also interesting to be around kids that are just getting out of high school and you can just look at them and tell they have no idea what the fuck is going on. I know I felt that way back then. I had no goddamn idea where I would up and never really thought about it too much. I can definitely tell that MTV has outdone itself in turning itself into a conduit for teenage brains to absorb an infinite array of bullshit. Their young minds have no idea that they are simply setting themselves up for a huge disappointment that they will probably never live lives anything like what they see on MTV. You're not going to be a rockstar or a model, you're going to community college motherfucker, welcome to the real world.

I'm pretty excited about a lot of things, something I haven't really been able to say for a while. Worked sucked and I'm glad that I'm going to be working towards something that will in the end, make me much happier. Lately I have also gotten back into the gym. It is definitely a nice change from sitting on my ass watching shitty daytime television.

Just Like Deja Vu

Here we go again. I graduated from college once, got a job did okay for a while, economy collapses lose my job and I end up going back to college to get another degree. I graduate from college, get a job, do fairly okay for a while, global pandemic, civil unrest, inept president, economy collapses. Basically lose job. What in the fuck is actually happening? For starters, I feel like I have made some really dumb mistakes in life. I know I did not do things the way that most expect after high school. I hated the thought of being just like everyone else. I had really high hopes for myself. I guess everyone starts out life this way, thinking that they are always just on the cusp of greatness and that they just need their big break. I had no intentions of ever going to college, ever getting a degree or being what I just thought was a sucker. Just like when I saw 'A Bronx Tale', I felt that working people were idiots. Breaking your back for some boss that doesn't give a shit abou...

where we are headed now

So I manage to get to this blog on really sporadic rate right now. Mostly because I used to write this blog because it was one of the ways that I fought off the boredom of having a job I couldn't stand and wasn't really taking me anywhere in life. I've come a long way from there and sometimes I want to stop and think about what I went through and how now I am a much stronger person than I was before. I constantly try to make each day count now, I see even more horrific things on the news everyday and it makes me feel that I'm really lucky that I am pretty well insulated from it. I wonder what it would be like if I wasn't and I was stuck in some place where barbaric things are commonplace. More and more each day I feel like every second I have is a gift and that I should not squander it away doing mundane bullshit that doesn't push me any closer to my goals. I've learned to be much more productive, even though I still have a ways to go when it comes to cont...

I made it

So I finished college, again. I went through almost everything that I thought I would and then some. It's been a few months and I really felt like I needed a break from everything for a while and now things are starting to settle down enough to the point that I can get back to spending a little time here and there updating this blog. I started this a long time ago just because I felt like putting my words down somewhere I could go back and look at it and feel like I can see the progress I've made. At the time when I started writing on this blog I was working at a job I hated and really felt like I was selling myself really short and I needed to get my engineering degree in order to see my full potential. That was almost ten years ago. Like everyone else, I ask myself, where did the time go? I wanted to go to school to become an aerospace engineer in order to make some part of me and the family that is still alive see me as someone that could compare to my grandfather. I k...
