The Sunday Shows

May 15, 2008 00:56

I lay on my bed recently and almost punched myself for not giving Coldplay more respect way back when they were every second song on the radio. Every word on X&Y seems to pull a chord just hard enough that it comes as close to breaking as possible before bouncing around in my brain and setting off the vibrations I so obviously fail to keep locked ( Read more... )

If you want to go sky diving for real, and not just figuratively, give me a call when I'm back in Richmond Hill and I'll come with you.
Actually, we need to hang out anyways once I'm back, but that would make it especially cool.

When do you get back? When do you leave (hope you have not left already...)?

I'll be back June 3rd, and I leave again July 9th. Still lots of planning and organising left to do before I leave.

i think being home (and even being bored for a little while) is a part of life. it's 4 months and it's a chapter you need to get through. Plus every point in your life has its merits and high points - you just need to figure them out. Maybe in these four months you can figure out where you want to travel next and plan it all out, or figure out how to get a condo downtown - just the perfect one - and then see that you get it later. I feel like I'm rambling here but what I'm trying to say is that even if you're not productive for these 4 months, take that time and really look at everything. If you're not motivated right now, you're not motivated. You'll bounce back. Find what's good about your living situation right now and just live it.

The thing is, I can get all the things I want right now. All I need to do is put in some effort. Also, I will be better off if I do.

i totally see where you're coming from writing that, but i felt like that post was saying that i've done all i could do here and i want somewhere new.

yes, there are the high points in everything, but sometimes you're just done and want to move on.

(i think)

I can't recall what you're studying, but are there even jobs at this level you can get to benefit your career? I'd always heard any experience is good, but it's a load of crap ( ... )

Yeah, there are jobs I can do in my field (International Studies). In fact I have 10 hours a week working for one of my profs so thats not rally an issue for me.

And that's what I'm saying, I want my childhood to be effectively over, and move on. I wanna live the real life, as terrible as it may be. I have had tastes of it, I traveled, I worked a 40 hour week fro 6 months on my year off, I fucking aced this year at school without anyones help, i got a job with my prof. I'm done, in my head I have moved on. Now I need to physically do it.

Might be in the works too.
