Day in and Day out
And eveybody's talking about your ability, decency, smoke and mirrors to me
You had the world and you pissed it all away
I dont need anyone, I dont need anyone, I dont need anyone to tell me what to feel
I dont need anyone, I dont need anyone, I dont need anyone to hate the world with me
To semi-quote (paraphrase, if you will) Snogash and Jane Austin (like anyone reads her anyways): It is a truth universally acknowledged that the preceeding lyrics were meant for me. You see, there was a time when I went to college. Although I was there for four consecutive years, I have nothing to show for it but an exorbitant amount of student loans and a collection of books I never bothered to sell back to the bookstore. Oh, and a dead-end job programming and shipping cell phones.
For some reason it was too much work for me to attend classes filled with pretentious pseudo-intellectual jackasses for three to four hours a day for four years and get the fuck out of Dodge with a degree and some hope of making enough money to never have to deal with my family again. Now Im relegated to livng hand-to-mouth and writing a blog that nobody reads and/or cares about while killing time for nine hours a day instead of having a real job that pays real money for real work. At least I can look forward to watching some 1970's campy horror/porn this weekend. Thank you Netflix.

It does appear that Streetlight Manifesto did hit the proverbial "nail on the head." Everyone makes mistakes, life is full of second and third chances, hell that is why I am now entering my seventh year at BGSU. If not for multiple chances I too would be stuck at some menial job wishing I had made better "life choices." Instead i will soon graduate and enter the real-world with the documentation needed to attain a modicum of self-respect and healthful living. There is much time left to tie up any and all loose ends and gain that hallowed degree that has so far been elusive. If I can turn my pathetic life around it should be quite easy for anyone else to do so.
