kids

I think the biggest mistake kids make is forcing themselves to go to a college right after highschool. There is no rule that says you have to, so if there is anything you want to do, then do it instead. And if you need to be kept busy then take classes at community college. And if you want to go to a university then the smartest thing you can do is clear some credits easily and cheaply at a community college. There is no rush enjoy your fucking life first.

this post is mostly just for me, to ramble about what's in my mind about my life. Right now i am twenty years old. I have no desire for a career or to even finish school. I am about to go on a month tour with my best friends that has been my dream since i understood what tour was. I am going to be living in a house in Amherst after that with the same people. I love skateboarding and my little brother and i know that i don't care about making alot of money, although i used to feel like i had to live up to what my dad has done. I alwaya, ALWAYS hear people say that they have no idea what they want to "do". Well i think they do know what "they" want to do just not what someone else thinks they should do. i have a million things going through my mind everyday about what i need to get done from a day to day basis, or even a month to month to year basis. The trick is to just see the smaller picture. Keep track of what is going on now in your head. keep yourself happy and don't worry about what is coming down the road because you will lead yourself to it.


I didn't think that would end up where it just did. but i went with it.

I am a dead dog

I used to think that music was enjoyable. now i think that kids only enjoy music if they are high, half because they don't actually enjoy music, and half because half the time the musicians are high and not playing anything interesting enough to actually enjoy.

Ohana

I have had a lot of experiences, been lots of places and met tons of people. I went to hawaii with two of my best friends for 10 days. Everyone there greets you with open arms. People respect each other and will go out of their way to help out someone they know, and everyone there knows everyone. The word ohana translates as friends and it truely means something there. No one lives a lavish lifestyle but everyone takes care of eachother when they need it. no one makes alot of money but no one gives a shit about it. It seemed everyone we met was going out of there way to show us an awesome time. I did so many unexplainably amaizing things and had the time of my life everyday, but in the process i learned something important about myself and life. I always talk about how money shouldn't be important but watching the people i met there really made me realize that making money is not what you should spend your life presuing. Nothing else measures a persons success as well as the stories that can be shared. And you will never remember the number on your atm reciept but you will remember the time you traveled across the country with your best friends, the time you jumped off cliffs into the blue ocean, the time you swam with hammerhead sharks, the times you skated every spot you drove by, the time you thought " i should really be in school now but going out to experience the world will teach me alot more". Spend your money on music that you want to hear, eat the food you want to eat and go the places you want to go. We are trained to think success only comes after highschool, associates, bachelors, masters, and all the other bullshit that stresses you out. Fuck school, a text book will never teach you something that you can learn first hand. Someday you could have the shiney car, big house, fat wife, fancy suit but what does that all amount to? Someday you could be sitting around a fire laughing with your best friends after you have all spent years doing what you dreamed you would do and what you have won't compare to what you have done.
