That's Youth

Remember being a kid? Wasn't it fucking rad? No responsibility for the most part (unless you were like me, and decided to get a job as soon as you could, which worked out a great, because I had money), just hanging out with your friends, and when you got lucky, getting a ride to the mall! Man, that ride to the mall was the BEST. Parent, neighbor, older brother, friend. You would go to the mall with anyone who would bring you there, and just hang out for hours on end, walking around, maybe buying a drink and a CD at Tower, or The Wall (remember when record stores were also awesome?). Also, as you got a little older, the mall was the easiest place to find someone selling drugs. Good old mall drug dealers never failed, and you could find these guys pretty easy. They would just be standing around, acting like they were waiting for someone. Actually, they were, they were waiting for you, and to go make a shady deal for a dime bag in the men's room behind the Burger King in the food court. The reason I bring this is up, is because I had to go to the mall today on my lunch break to do a little shopping, and while I was sitting and eating lunch, I was looking at all the young girls and boys walking around the mall, no bags in hand, just hanging out. Kind of reminded me how easy life was back then. Listen, I'm only 25, and by no means do I feel old, but life was GOOD when you were in high school. After that, it's college and partying, but you still have to go to class or they kick you out of school, and then you are REALLY fucked. After college, it's either time to get a job or go back to school for something. Then it is just life. Work your days away and have fun when you can, but high school days man, they were awesome.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to get back to those simple days, but other times I'm happy that we move on in life. I feel like if I wasn't trying to do something all hours of the day, I'd get bored these. Working a full time job, playing in a band, writing my own music, making time to see people, it all takes up more time they you realize at first, and before you know it, you are basically busy the entire time you are awake. Oh well, that's life I guess, and it is pretty awesome.

Well shit, it is almost 3pm, which means I can go home soon. So...I'm going to pretend to do some work now, and get out of here. Have fun boys and girls.

Back to the world

Welp, vacation is over, and I'm back at work. Currently enjoying my last cup of coffee for the day and waiting to get out of here in about 15 minutes. This week isn't so bad being that I only have to work 3 days, but still, I'd rather still be at the beach with my girlfriend laying around and drinking margarita's. It was a good time. We had one day of rain which was kind of cool because down on Long Beach Island, when it rains, everything floods. Now I know that doesn't sound that cool, but it is. You are at the beach, and all the roads are flooded, and the waves of the ocean are crashing down, the chaos of it all is kind of beautiful. Also you can boogyboard in the street which is kind of fun. Anyway, back on track. I got my Mexican food, and it was amazing. We all went out to diner Monday night and brought our bucket of margarita. We had to ask the waitress for a ladle because the bucket was half froze and she kind of gave us a strange look and said she would ask about the kitchen for us. Thankfully she returned and had a ladle. We all enjoying our bucket-o-booze and giant burritos. The rest of the time I spent either hanging out on the beach, sitting at happy hour, or just relaxing at our house having drinks. It is always a great feeling to get away, even if it is only the Jersey shore, it is better than work.

So I'm back today at work today and talking to my good friend Brian. Brian lives in a town about 15 minutes from my job and his roommate is moving out, which means he needs someone to move it. He had asked me about moving in with him a while ago, and I kind of brushed it off and said I'd think about it. I have thought about it now, and I do believe I'm going to take him up on it and move into his house. This will be interesting because I'm an only child, so I know my folks are going to be bummed, especially mom, but sitting around my nice quite house while they are on vacation, I have come to realize I'm really over living at home. I'm going to be 25 next month, and not saying that is old, but it is time to move on in life and break from the nest. So, on I got, moving in with my friend Brian for the 3rd time in my life. I lived with this guy for 2 years in college, and while with any roommate, you want to brain them sometimes, I usually get along great with him. It is going to be an interesting month in my life, so lets see where it ends up.

Well, it is 5:30 and while I would love to keep rapping at you, I'm going home to enjoy the peace and quite of my empty house. I'm going to make some food and walk around in my underwear drinking beers. Sexy picture, I'm well aware.
