lyrical musings

Well hello again. I’m back, and I swear, I never forgot about this place. If you reference my first post ever I said that I’d use this however I saw most fitting – and I haven’t forgotten that. I usually build up a whole slew of thoughts, then dispense them all at once. The trick is to not forget all the thoughts in the mean time.

So, first, things of note:

• I started a new company with SearchKindly founder Syed Karim. I don’t want to give out all the details just yet, but we’re pretty excited about it.
• My beloved Redskins are doing…..alright. We’ll see how the season progresses from here.
• I’ve grown closer with a few good friends (see more below) and farther away from some that I probably should have distanced myself from some time ago.
• My radio show is going well, I’m excited for the Spring/Summer season.
• I graduate in 178 days. Not that I’m counting
• If all goes to plan, I’m buying a house and my best friend from back home is moving in with me. Exciting and great news.

So, on with the longer part of this post. I’ve had a couple of topics brewing for some time, so I’m going to address some of those here.

List of Things I Want to Do Before I Graduate
This has been a post long a-brewing. It’ll be a separate page (found here), but I’ve got some things I want to do. Some will be in lesser detail, as they may or may not have some legal/authoritative issues, but others will be right out in the open. I’m hoping to get them all crossed off…but I feel like I add to them every time I think about it. Oh well, we’ll see.

My ideal woman
Also a separate post, to be found on here in the near future. I’ve decided I have enough qualifications that it’s easiest just to write them all down and let people apply. (kidding, but seriously…feel free.) I’m tired of meeting just plain odd people who are in some serious need of help I couldn’t possibly provide, even if I were Mother Theresa.

Possible publishing
I’m seriously contemplating writing a work to be published on my college experience. I feel like I’ve had a very unique experience, and that frankly that might lead to some valuable insight for both parents and to-be college students. Would anyone read it? I have no idea, but I might just write it anyway.

Friends
This is a very touchy subject for me. If I had to count right this second, the number of people I could call and have them drop whatever they were doing for me to help me out, that number would be…..*counts on fingers*….5. That’s actually a better number than I thought. I’ve just come to realize of late there are very few people here I actually like (and for that matter – probably like me). This game people play, of faking everything so they’re this way or that, is just that – a game, and complete crap.

It’s not that I’m not a people person – I love talking to anyone, and I love learning about people, but it’s not worth me investing a serious amount of time in anything/one that isn’t going to at least invest some effort in me. Sort of surmises my dating life of late as well – I’m completely comfortable with who I am, and while it would be nice to be with someone, it’s certainly not necessary for happiness.

On another interesting note – I’ve been particularly close with someone who I never expected. We’re experiencing similar things in our lives and share some common goals and ambitions, and that has really allowed me to expand to a different point of view on some issues; it’s been quite helpful of late.

That person also introduced me to someone with whom I’d like to become far more accustomed, but it’s an awkward situation at best. I forgo the details, but let’s just say if that worked out in everyone’s favor, it would be most exciting. Ahh awkward, my favorite place to be.

Also of note – reconnected with an old ‘friend’. We’ve gone through so much and know each other so well it’s a little scary (ok, really scary). We should really be married – too bad she’s half way across the country. We’ll get right on that one.

What else….I don’t know, I think that was most of the major stuff. I’ll get around to stubbing out those other two posts sometime soon. Until then, peace and love.

Well hello, dear blog. Few notes:

• Finally completed 2.5.1 upgrade. Relatively painless, albeit backups are having some odd issue at the moment.
• Yes, I’m still alive.

And now, for my rant:

I’m tired of this place. I’m tired of this house, this town, these people. I promised myself that this summer I would do everything I wanted to do, to live the summer the way I thought it should be lived, and I absolutely have – which has brought me to the realization of how much this place truly sucks.

I have friends, most of which who’s aspiration is to see how drunk they can get on a Friday or Saturday night. Friends who don’t go in to work until 4 in the afternoon, and then work til 8 and tell me how hard their day has been.

I like to tell people I feel old, and for those of you who have heard me say this, you know that your response is “Kris, you’re not that old.” No, I’m not, but damn do I feel it. I don’t give a damn about who can chug a beer faster or who can play that damn basketball game better – if those two things coincide with me having fun, then so be it, let them be. But if they spend more time aggravating me than they do providing enjoyment, well, yeah.

One of my friends just told me that he’s going to be staying here an extra semester. When questioned, he told me he could finish it up in the regular amount of time (without overloading) but prefer to take a few easy semesters. What a load of shit. Yeah, college is the best time of your life and all that, but when the hell are you going to grow up? I sure as hell don’t see it happening anytime soon, and that’s sad.

Moreover, your girlfriend needs to grow the hell up. She graduated, stop dating college guys and move the hell on with your life, and while you’re at it, get the hell out of my hair, because I can’t stand your guts.

So, in conclusion, I miss one of my really good friends. He’s mature enough to not annoy me, yet knows how to have a good time. I want out of here. I really appreciate my older friends. I really appreciate one of my newest friends in particular, even if she is younger. I want to get on living my life, as opposed to having to live mine and clean up after someone else’s.

Only 313 more days. I can do this.

EDIT:
I actually am really happy this summer. I’m having a blast, and just not spending much time at home. Betty Bring Down is done for the night.
