I rarely do this anymore, but there is some type of urge in me that feels like turning my thoughts into readable ones will help make sense of them. I’m 18 years old and I am at a point of my life where each decision I make now has two options: handle it like a kid or like an adult. It doesn’t seem like deciding should be hard but dolefully it is. Reason being? The life as an adult is so much more serious, possesses much more freedom, and contains a lot more responsibility; whereas, life as a kid is careless, spontaneous, and innocent. Each one, in there own respect, has things there counterpart lack. But what is truly hitting me now is how often I was told that you will miss being kid. And not to say that now because I am 18 everything will change, but I have begun to notice the changes. It’s like watching the sun rise and set, it’s beautiful to watch and enjoy but its end is inevitable. Trust me I know that I still have a few years left to live it up like a kid; but when do I call it quites? If I do it too early than I miss out on what I can still get away with, if I wait too long then I am left catching up for the rest of my life. What I can say at least, and it feels weird saying it rather than hearing it, I’m going to really miss being a “kid”. Thats because the life of a child allows one to truly enjoy the world around them. And I begin to realize this more specifically this summer, the summer before my first year of college. This summer has been filled with more fun and  more spontaneity than I can remember. Why is this though? Is it because I never really took advantage of my summer or is it because it will probably be one of last; and because its my last, as they say, I have begun to appreciate what I soon won’t have?Regardless, its hard to decide what to do now that I am at a pivotal point in my life because I still want to live it up and yet I don’t want to regret it later on in life. So all in all, I’m at a crossroads in life and its time to decide which road to take as I approach the intersection… and a huge part of me says fuck the intersection and go off-roading.

So I’ve been contemplating how to go about this post for a while; and I still don’t really know how to go about it. This partly due to the fact that I constantly ask: will people actually read this? Will they actually take the time to comprehend what I’m trying to say? Well with 72 followers it gets pretty difficult to answer these questions. 

But regardless I guess I might as well get it over with. The other day a few friends, Steven, and I went on an art field trip to the Metropolitan Art Museum in NYC. And it was a complete blast, mostly because we snuck out of the museum and took a nice stroll through the upper westside of New York. But while taking our walk in the beautiful weather around Central Park, the Huxtable-like-homes, and the ridiculous amount of S-class Mercedes, I began to think. I began to think of the reason Steven and I started this blog. I began to realize that we were pretty much walking in the very place that was the epitome of the “American dream”.

As it states in our little About Us, we live in town surrounded by people who are spoon fed. This results in an atmosphere that encourages one to be snobby, gaudy, lazy, and attend the local community college. In other words, its like getting sucked into a black hole that impedes one to mature and comprehend that there is a world outside of Mommy and Daddy’s comfort, from the big houses, and the snotty degenerates that stay home. A world that requires you to fend for yourself; which I’m not trying to say is a negative thing, in fact, I believe it only helps one grow into being a stronger and more successful individual. 

Don’t get me wrong, though, I’m not trying to put the blame on anyone, its merely parents being parents and children’s ignorance, they don’t know any better. And at the same time I’m not trying to come off like I’m not grateful. But what I’m trying to say is that as an individual, you have to take the initiative to “make it” on your own. Steven and I come from two completely different up-bringings and backgrounds and yet we both have the same passion to try and get out of this SHIT black hole and make it for ourselves. This is the reason we’ve become as close as we have; because, we have discerned this. We both took a step back and realized that in order to grow as a person, home is the farthest place we need to be. Walking through the streets of NYC, I couldn’t help but come to grips with the fact that I was surrounded by people who understood this very notion. And luckily the friends we shared our time with at the “MET” apprehended this as well.

All in all, what I’m trying to say is that our trip to New York was really fun. Haha (Even though thats not at all what I said). Regardless, this trip was a great way to reinforce how I need to be proactive and as Drake said so simplistically, “Do me”.

Here’s another little vlog post from yours truly.

Im back… I guess, sort of. I never really left it’s just I haven’t really posted much in a while. Reason being that as the days get hotter and the time for college grows nearer, I am slowly become infected with the lackadaisicalness that is senioritis. And in reality, I know this is just an excuse to cover up the laziness thats causing my grades to fall and my attitude to become careless. FUCK SCHOOL. Whatever, I hope this “mindset” doesn’t last forever; because you and me both know that’ll get me nowhere. Regardless, I think it’s time to at least post a few things.

A little overdue message from your’s truly.

I forgot where I found these, but they sure as hell aren’t mine. Whatever though, they are really cool and sensual. Check it out. 

Excuse me while I go get my tan on…

someone needed a haircut

This store is the reason I don’t even have enough money to fill up my tank anymore. AND I JUST APPLIED! I anxiously wait by the phone to hear back…

According to Cornell University, there has been a significant growth in the size of the meals we eat since the times of Jesus (if you believe he existed). After applying the idea that art is a reflection of life and comparing the size of the disciples’ heads to the meals on the table of The Last Supper, scientist were able to deduce that the main meal has increased by 69% and bread portion has increased by 23%. That’s a pretty substantial increase. No wonder we’re facing an obese problem this day in age. The scientist concluded with “the phenomenon of serving bigger portions on bigger plates, which tempts people to overeat, also occurred gradually over the same time period.” In other words, the people at Cornell are saying that we have been getting fatter and fatter. So I guess you can say the whole overweight problem in the US isn’t our fault, entirely. Whatever, I guess they are basically telling me that I shouldn’t have eaten the 2 plates of food and sandwich this morning… whoops. Is it too late to change?
