Time to Catch Up, It’s Been a While
Ah yes, it’s been a while since I’ve sent out a new story. I’ve been up to many things lately, from upgrading my computer to visiting colleges. I have many new things to share, but alas I haven’t the time to explain them all right now.
My spring break is officially over now. =[ It’s a very sad evening. Tomorrow I must crawl out of bed in the wee hours of the morning and make my trek to school, only to waste another day of my life on a pointless day at school. School has become nothing more than a huge waste of time for me, and for everyone. Every day I go in, sit down, learn nothing, and then walk out. Six periods a day, learn nothing, do nothing, care about NOTHING. Sure, AP Tests are coming up, but who cares? I sure don’t. Government and economics are the four easiest tests in the world. Physics I’ll probably do fine on, and Literature, I don’t care a single bit. I’ll probably end up with a 2 or a 1, I don’t care. That class is pointless, it’s a waste of space, and no offense to Mrs. Owens, that information is just plain useless for me, or for anyone for that matter. Who cares if Shakespeare meant this, or John Dunne meant that, I DON’T CARE. When will I ever use that in life? Maybe if I become a journalist… but I doubt that will every happen.
The best I can suffice is a poorly put together blog about myself, which is kind of funny when I think about it, because I used to have huge dreams of creating my own software, developing the next myspace or facebook, or phpbb or vbulletin. I was going to create a masterpiece that I could sell for huge profits, but then reality kicked in, and I realized that it just wasn’t worth the effort. I once created a script that would parse myspace’s musician and comedian pages and output the performer’s upcoming showtimes and dates. I had it working very well, and I even had a prospective buyer, but that huge project fell through, and the client never got back to me regarding it, and it ended up being a waste of time. That’s all, just a huge waste of time.
It seems like everything is just a waste of time these days. School, band, work, web design; Pointless, mildly exciting, necessary for an income, and fun yet sometimes frustrating. That is all my life is made up of these days. School I absolutely hate, I already have over the allowed number of absences in the majority of my classes. Band is fine, jazz is fun, but Wind Ensemble sucks, and now that our new director is waving his iron fist, it’s no longer interesting for me. It’s such a shame that Garcia had to leave, but it wasn’t under anyone’s control, I understand that.
And then there’s work. The good ol’ UPS Store. Old Faithful. It’s kind of sad though, I haven’t been working all week because of college visits, and next week I will only be able to work one day because of jazz rehearsals and then our trip to Reno. Oh yeah, Reno is going to be fun. :) I’ll tell you about that later. But yeah, my next paycheck is gonna total a whopping $20…
Well, I think I’m going to have to leave the rest for a later time. Funny enough, there was just a small earthquake that I felt. Either that, or a truck just hit the side of my house, (maybe I should go check, hah).
Further elaboration is on its way, specifically about: Berkeley, UCSD, UCLA, Reno, Life, Web Design, Work, Consulting, Computers, Shiny Things, and a whole lot more…
