So it’s time to wrap up the year, the way it ended was entirely different from what I envisioned at the beginning of it. In January I thought by now I’d be in a film school in Hollywood working towards my dream career, turns out it ended up with me working minimum wage, which is no curse considering the unemployment right now. Some things went nicely planned, finished up my associates degree, enjoyed some pretty sweet concerts, and made some great friends along the way. Unexpected things went down too, most recently, my dad left for Agawam Massachusetts, where according to Google maps the closest Target is 11 miles away, he’s 43 years old, not young, yet not too old to write some new chapters in his life. If I learned anything this year, it’s that from here on out, issues and obstacles are really going to be coming from all angles, and it’s up to me figure out how to apply myself to them. Maybe it’s just part of the good ‘ol “say hello to adulthood” welcoming package.

I have one more month of my teen years left, already adapted to it though because new people I meet guess I’m a year or two older than I look. Next year, “Orphan Lechuga” here is going to have some choices on his plate, no buffet either. I could keep working, move into a place for myself and a few friends and just embrace the situation I’m in now, could go to college next year and work on a bachelors in film and electronic arts, provided I’m accepted that is, or I could move in with dad if I wanted to, but my life is rooted here in the south bay, couldn’t give it up unless the incentive was appealing to a certain degree, wait I think I told this story already, let me check my old posts…., ah yeah, yeah we’ll skip this speech.

Anyhoo, writing this out takes a little stress away, thanks for being around at such a late hour, all forms of support are accepted, mental encouragement, prayer, lucky charms, necronomicon inspired chanting, whatever suits you.
