I startled myself awake this morning realizing that in about 2 months, I would be turning twenty-nine. I'm already "pushing thirty", but somehow, just today, it hit me really hard that I'm not that young anymore. I started thinking about the numbers. I'm entering the last year of my twenties, and statistically I'm a good forty percent into my life. I graduated high school well over ten years ago, and still haven't had any college to speak of. I'm back working the same mcjob I had ten years ago, and not really making much more money, either. Just about everyone I went to high school with is married with kids, well into their careers and homeowners. Meanwhile, I'm still throwing my money away on rent.
So today, I finally applied for college. I may hate working for Wawa, but unfortunately, it's more than likely the best thing I'll have going for me while I go ahead and finally get my stupid, sorry ass a degree in something. Then, I can use that to get a real job that I actually ENJOY (hopefully the economy will be better by then), and ultimately get my ADULT LIFE started. It's thanks to Meggles that I have this motivation.
In other news, after more than a year of waiting, Street Fighter IV comes out next Tuesday, and my inner dork is shitting himself. Shoryuken!
Also,
here's a movie you ought to watch concerning how fucked up America's drug laws are. Even if you don't smoke pot, this feature-length documentary will have you realizing how the government and corporations manipulate the public.
Here's something I'd like to put on a billboard:
Tobacco - 430,000 deaths per year.
Alcohol - 85,000 deaths per year.
Marijuana - 0 deaths... EVER.
