Since I'm not exactly quick about updating this thing, I figure I'll write something about something that will happen in the next few days instead of just not saying anything about it at all. Basically, I'm turning 20, so I'm out of the teen years. It's cool because that way anytime that I talk to someone and try to sell something that I've written, they don't automatically blow me off because I'm in my teens...now they would just blow me off because what I wrote sucks. I read somewhere that when people hit this age, they have a quarter-life crisis, which is stupid to say that because most people, when they are in their 20s are so stoned or drunk half the time that they don't know what's wrong, or they just don't care. I fall into the second group...I don't care what goes on, if I can change it, great. If I can't, I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. The problem that I have though is that I don't know a lot of things that I thought that I would know by this age. It's nothing major, like I know how to drive and, when I need to, find somebody to hook up with. It's just stupid stuff like "Who closes the door when the bus driver gets off?" I mean, it's a stupid question but really...he's the guy that controls when it shuts and when it opens, and it's not like they just keep that thing open all night...they would just get stolen. I don't know, stupid shit like that is basically what I think about when I have a week off of work, so I have a lot of those really stupid questions. Anyway, the old "another year wiser" thing doesn't really apply to me because overall, 2003 was just a really boring year. For every good thing, like getting out of school for the summer, there was a bad thing, like having to go back...and leave in the "healthy living center". I went to Opening Day for the Tigers, only to see them lose. Even though I'm a glutton for punishment, I would go again this year in a heartbeat if I didnt know that I'd be sitting there by myself freezing...Tigers fans are hard to come by. I know that they'll do better this year, I just hope that it's good enough to lose less then 100 games. I love the team, I really do, but it's just so hard to watch them sometimes when they just play so bad. I cant officially say that the year was totally bad, I mean, I went back to school and started doing stand-up, and I've gotten more things to write about and sold a few more things, so it wasn't all bad. That, and I worked maybe my last day at my job I've had for three years, I'll be out of there for at least a year. I didn't quit, or fired, but the day I go back, is the day they're going on strike if they vote to go. I would sound optimistic, but really...it doesn't look like we'll be working over the summer. Ah well, no biggie...if they go on strike, I'll be out there, I get into shit like that for some reason. I mean, who needs to work? I got my WHOPPING $13.75 tax rebate check from Bush that everybody's so happy about! I mean, come on...$4 for a car payment, $3 for books up at school...and gas is $0.08 a gallon...I'm home free! Sorry...I knew I'd keep my comments on politics out of this for a while, but the guy is basically my anti-christ. Ah well, he's outta here in ten months anyway. Okay, well...I've ranted and roamed from one topic to the next for long enough, I'm just about done, so I'm outta here. BETHANY: What's he like? METATRON: God? BETHANY: Yeah. METATRON: Lonely...but funny. He's got a great sense of humor. There's nothing funnier then the faces you people make mid-coitus. BETHANY: Sex is a joke in heaven? METATRON: The way I hear it, it's pretty much a joke down here, too.
