Family, Friends, Places

I'm very lucky to have been raised the way i was. Both of my parents were always there for me and did so many awesome things for me. I got to travel alot and see the world as a kid, something that i took for granted until recently. There is nothing more awesome than experiencing things, even bad experiences end up being awesome to remember. Sometimes i just sit and stare blankly and think about where i am, what i did to get there and what is going on, just fully absorb myself in a moment. It's crazy to think all of the places i've been, all the people i've been able to meet because of it. I been 50 ft under the ocean in hawaii with my best friend, i jumped off the most southern part of the US with my best friends, I've chased black kids that stole my phone in louisville for almost 10 blocks with my best friend, I've been to ireland with my family, I got on my hands and knees on a glacier in Alaska and drank the blue water, I stood next to a dead whale on a beach in hawaii, i've hiked through rainforests, skated through cities, traveled through canada with my best friends... I could list things forever. I wish i could convince everyboy to listen to the part of there brain that says " i want to take a trip, i wish i could do this..." because that is when you truely learn things that you can never learn in a classroom. at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you're in a bed or on a dusty floor, if you're wallet is full of money or if you don't even have a wallet, if you're friends are on drugs or if they're not, all that matters is what happened during the day, is it something you're going to care to remember?

the never ending

Slowly as i start to see life more clearly, i am realizing that the things that are a pain in the ass never stop coming. From one thing to another to another to another. You might as well spend your whole life hop scotching because as much as you want to get to the end there is always another square to hop in. Let me think of some recent examples. The starter goes in our van, we replace the starter, van runs fine and then the power steering goes. Now it is sitting in the backyard not starting and not having a power steering pump. Meanwhile the insurance bills still come along with the excise tax that i haven't paid. Stupid bro party at the house on friday, the house is trashed on saturday and it finally gets cleaned and only then does any of us notice that the thermostat is broken. The house is cold as balls. Today me and bruce finally fixed the thermostat everything is seeming awesome: the house is warming up, im drawing with crayons, thinking abou eating soon. Next thing i know there is a half inch of fucking water in the basement. I feel like this constantly but this is just a small window of example. FUCK. keep it coming god, i'll trudge through your shit storms until the day i shrivle up and die.
