One Crazy Week 1/16/2009 10:16:34 AM
My b-day week turned upside down Happy Birthday to me! This Tuesday I turned 21, yay for me! Didn't do much, spent quality time with the family, colored my hair a bronze red, visited a good friend of mine who always puts me in a good mood. I had class the next morning so I couldn't get 'crazy' like I wanted to. You would think your birthday week would be exciting, everyday a good day, lots of partying and drinking, ya know what young kids do now days. Nope, not I. Lost my car keys the day after at school, still havent found them, granny and cousin had to bring me my spare key all the way from Los Angeles to Riverside, a one hour ride without traffic, a three hour nightmare with traffic and a truck turned over on the freeway. My last class ended at 2pm but I had to miss it, I went on a car key hunt for a good three hours uh maybe four, didn't get back home till 8:30pm, now you tell me wasn't that the best bday gift? Oh, it gets better, this morning, I try to start my car, battery completely dead, thank god for living with family, I ended up driving my elderly grandmothers car to school today, I owe her dinner for a year, scratch that, dinner for the rest of her time here on earth, I love that woman. But tonight, tonight ohhhh tonight!! I'm going to Lucky Strikes with the family and drowning my sorrows with whatever sounds good and it's a four day weekend for me, so see there's a bright side to all of this. I had to think this week, put my life in perspective, measure the means, do some evaluation, my assumption was I was living life like my maker wanted me to, staying in college even though I get urges to drop out and become a stoned writer, I've laid off the illegal substances, I've been keeping the drinking to a minimum, havent did the "grown up" in only god knows when oh and he knows, he knows better than me, that's how long its been. I feel like I still have major changes to take into account, more appreciation to consider. This week was short but long and energy draining, I'm weak right now chuggin along like Thomas the Train, awww my little cousin loves Thomas...sorry just got a happy moment in and dammit I needed it! After all of this craziness and I know it's not as BIG as I'm making it out to be but for me it kind of is because this is my conclusion right here...My life is easy, easier than most, I'm alive, I'm well, I have family maybe not that many friends but the ones I do have are great friends, I have a little money, enough to pay my bills and shop and give some to the man on the corner in the cold. I've been taking my life for granted. Yes school is holding my poor little heart down, prohibiting me from flying free but with self motivation and control, I can conquer any and all I desire. So realizing this I declare, from now on, I'm accepting all that comes my way, taking it in and feeding off of it, growing from it,I will be that writer, I will be that poet, I will be that song writer, I will be that student who graduates in 2010 I will be that friend and that daughter and that neice and granddaugher I will be that aunt, I will be me! I will love life like life has been trying to show me love.
