Life's Pursiut
Complaining about my life is a waste of words. Things have happened that were fucked up, to put it bluntly. But for the most part, I must take responsibility for the choices I’ve made. For example, I chose to go to school. I chose to study a subject matter that in not in my native language. I chose to take 19 credit hours during the summer. Therefore, it is a waste for me to complain that I am busy with school. And it is true, I am busy with school, but to state this in hopes of sympathy really isn’t fair.
But I’m off for a week, so you won’t have to listen to my belly aches.
And I won’t get upset that a bum took a shit next to my car. It will just be motivation for me to leave town.
And I won’t be disgusted when I swallow a bug on my scooter…at least I have a scooter to ride. And besides, it tasted kind of sweet, like pollen.
And I especially won’t cry when I drop my Amy’s organic vegan meatloaf frozen dinner all over the kitchen floor. I’ll just scrape up what I can because there’s no one around to see me do this. I’ll pull out the hair and continue eating. Its my hair after all. I do live alone. Who else’s would it be? I’ll plop down on my couch and enjoy my dirt encrusted TV dinner while I watch the “The Royal Tenenbaums” for the hundredth time.
I’m saving up my strength.
Tomorrow I plan on taking over the world. First I will see my dad. This will give me purpose and motivation. Next I will face my greatest fear: loneliness. I plan on spending one night in the woods without a tent all by myself. If I survive this will give me confidence. If I fail, I’ll never complain again. Maybe this will be my last post ever. Years from now some helpless web surfer will stumble upon my blog. And the last thing written will be this…
And he or she will wonder…”Did she make it alone in the woods? Was she attacked by a wild animal? Or has she begun her plans to take over the world?”
But before all that, I should clarify. By the world, I mean Colorado. I am 26, single, and have no kids. I am going to graduate from school in less than 6 months. One might say I am beginning to “grow my wings.” What a waste to stay in the same rut. Just like complaining about the things I can change. Why not L.A. or NYC? Don’t worry. My associates are already covering those bases. Needless to say, the take over is a life long pursuit. But I really don’t have much to loose.
Don’t wish me luck. Luck is for the unprepared.
