Reflections
I graduated tuesday night, in a ceremony that was exactly what I expected it to be. My principal called us the 'yeast that would make the bread of tomorrow'. Great analogy; yeast die in the process of bread-making, chocking to death on their own filth.
There was no audiable applause when I crossed the stage, and I take that as a mark of pride. If graduating a public high school is the proudest moment of my life, kill me now.
It's interesting, but crossing the stage gave no sense of closure in the least. What gave me a sense of closure was driving down Bryan road.
I used to live off of Bryan road, and I wish I could say my memories of it were most pleasant. Every day I'd walked to school, only to get harassed at school, and on the way home. I had no friends, and little attachment to the place.
My parents always said, years from now, I'd be better for it, and that I'd look back and not understand what I was so upset about.
They were right, damn them.
As I drove down that street, thinking about how far I've come since then, it was like I was speaking to that scared, timid little dork I'd been. "Hey, don't worry about it; look where you'll end up. I've got a car, my own computer, good friends, and I've actually been on a date. I'm going to college, getting a job, and enjoying life. It gets so much better than this.
"Except for talking to girls. That never gets easier."
Tonight I go to HCC to register for classes this fall. Yay, I guess. Toys R Us will start setting up job interviews next week, and AMC theaters is still hiring. Here's hoping, huh?
Thought of the moment: I shall begin my bid for the Presidency.
