lyrical musings

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.

Ah yes, cheesy lyrics for a post title. I love it.

As the title suggests - I finally got around to completing the Wordpress 2.5 upgrade. No real change in look for you all - but some fun stuff for me. I’ll get around to all of that stuff I promised, maybe sooner now than before.

It’s starting to dawn on me a year from today I will be making a transition. I don’t really see it as “entering the real world” - I’m already in the real world. I have a house that requires maintenance, I have bills to pay, a car to pay for, insurance that’s required, yada yada yada. Will it be any better? Eh, it’s hard to say. I am excited to be done with ’school’, even if only for a short while.

Things at the job are well - still relatively quiet, although I’ve now made my trips to the ‘kill floor’, rendering and casings, all of which are a once in a lifetime experience (at least I hope).

Notes of late -

• Switched over to a BlackBerry last week. The Sprint Simply Everything plan suckered me in. Between that and the killer deal I got on the phone (made $75 on the deal) I’m quite happy.
• Had some friends come in this weekend, we had a pretty good time. Ended up with some members of a pretty famous band at our house. It was pretty sweet.
• The end of the semester doesn’t look to be any worse off than any other year - but being organized with to-do lists and a calendar sure do make it look scary.
• Twitter STILL hasn’t fixed the delete tweet bug. That really annoys me, especially when I make a typo.
• Exploring some new options for managing/dealing with my money. Perhaps have some opportunities to do some better things with it.

Placeholder for post ideas I want to write but haven’t done so yet:

1. 100 Things to Do Before I Graduate
2. The Perfect Female

That’ll be all for now. Look for the above ideas to propagate sometime in the near future.

Ladies and gentlemen please, would you bring your attention to me? For a feast for your eyes to see, an explosion of catastrophe - like nothing you’ve ever seen before, watch closely as I open this door. Your jaws will be on the floor, after this you’ll be begging for more.

Welcome to the show, please come inside ladies and gentlemen…
