So I want to type something and anything will do. I am sitting here with the itch to write something, I should do my homework but that could probably wait… or could it?? Eek I have been procrastinating so much lately it’s retarded. I now have a laptop which was my excuse for the past few months, I can’t use it anymore. What excuse can I use now? It took me ten years to complete I think another few nights wouldn’t heart as long as I finally graduate this spring.
I am sitting here listening to Treble Charger and it has me thinking back to a few years ago when I listened to this album all the time, I was one of the only few albums I had and I also didn’t have a computer, TV or phone so I was pretty bored… well no I wasn’t bored I spent most of my free time drawing, painting and reading. I kind of loved it actually; I remember feeling so relaxed back then. It might have had something to do with the fact that I was in my early 20’s and my only concern was to pay rent. I always had money because I never spent it on stuff like loads of groceries, crazy electric bills or exotic pets.
My groceries consisted of bread, cheese, noodles, hotdogs and bagels. I ate out a lot with my friends. Now I can spend about $150 to $200 every 2 weeks. Of course there are 2 of us eating and then there are all the pets we have to feed. My rent had everything included so heat and electricity was never a concern, now my rent is $50 less the place years ago but it doesn’t include heat or lights. I have to pay all that separate which becomes a hell of a lot more. There is the issue with needing internet; I never needed it before because I never owned a computer now I do and I use it often.
I haven’t read a book in almost a year. It just dawned on me that I am more relaxed when I would read a lot. I really need to get into reading again. Now that I am no longer doing email at work I have more time to read and I don’t know why I never took a book to school with me since I spend so much time on the bus and waiting for classes. I just need to get some book…David will download some as soon as I give him a list J what a doll.
Well mister changed the music because the album was over and the nostalgia is now gone. I just put in ear buds and turned on the Beatles, I don’t really have a memory linked to the Beatles… well songs like Octopuses Garden and Yellow Submarine remind me of when I was in elementary school. Music class with Mrs. Campbell use to rub her records on her butt and she always played those songs. She must have had a thing for Ringo Starr; I think if I ever run into her I will ask about that.
That story reminds me of that old apartment. There was this weird dude who lived upstairs from me and he use to come down to visit despite me wanting him there. I had to cover the window in my door and lock it all the time because he would just walk in. My friends and I came up with a secret knock so I would know it was them… “Taa Taa Tee tee taa” Mrs. Campbell use to get us to do this … I guess to keep rhythm or something… but my friends had her too so they were/are very familiar with “Taa Taa Tee Tee Taa”. Sometimes they would actually scream it as they knocked. My friends are awesome.
I think I should end things up here; this would be the second post today. There’s nothing like over compensating eh? Well I hope to keep this thing updated more often and maybe with something more entertaining. My life isn’t really full of awesomeness and fun but I try. Well… see ya around.
