  If I Could Change the World... Song in head: You've Got a Friend - James Taylor Current Mood: Reminiscent Eh, you can see the much earler "year in review" blog post--I think it's in January somewhere. I don't really feel like writing all that over again. However, I'm looking back, and time has gone by so fast. Pretty much, month by month, starting with June 03, I can pick a certain high point, and the rest blurs together. Yet, so little seemed to change as each month went by... but now... 9 months later... in comparison... whoa. I have changed so much-- I listen to different music, I hang out with a new crowd, I play different roles than before, I have hair... the list goes on.
So, as time continues to go on, and Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald continues to play, and the 17th birthday, I realize, is less than 10 weeks away, life continues to throw curveballs, and somehow I manage to keep getting hits... some are line drives, some are home runs, some are fouls or strikes, but I seem to be batting better than 500, which is pretty damn good. So, I've seen the past. I'm seeing the present. Now what am I going to see? What does the future hold for YHN? If I knew, why would I still be breathing, eh? Each day I wake in order to get to the next day... if I knew what the next day had, then why would I need to wake up?
At least I know that every day, I will be able to spell "traveler" correctly. Hah! Caught ya! Put away those squinty eyes and stop calling me names. So Eric Clapton is on now... This was my favorite song in 4th grade. It played at the United Way Annual Meeting in 99. I just wrote the subject line, and it has nothing to do with what this is about... hmmm...
I at least got the factory radio back in the car... Stupid Nissan is making the installation of an aftermarket difficult. However, I think I'm gonna buy my camera lens tomorrow. I may go to Pete's if they're open early... If not, then run down to Provident on my lunch break... Unless they're closed. That's highly possible. *is mildly excited about opening the camera box for the first time... AGAIN* I'll sit back and drink my coffee from the Chateau, then realize it's cold, be mildly disgusted, and ponder going to get more, with a side of burgers.
Fun stuff. But I have a car to call my own now... one that has PICKUP!! "My best friend took a weeks vacation to forget her, his girl took a weeks worth of Valium and slept, now he's guilt-stricken sobbing with his head on the floor, thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says, "I can't be held responsible, 'cause she was touching her face, I won't be held responsible, she fell in love in the first place!
" For the life of me, I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise... For the life of me, I could not believe that we'd ever die for these sins... We were merely Freshmen. (*original phrase censored - state-approved response follows*) And people wonder why I'm Pro-Choice... Bah. Fuck, I'm out of gold stars...
