I took a test today, and it's probably the first time since the year 2000 that I actually felt confident afterwards. Therefore, if I ended up blowing it somehow, I might have to commit suicide.
I have tried a bit of a Da Vinci polyphasic sleep cycle lately. Granted, I don't do the whole nap for 30 minutes every 4 hours thing. More like, nap for a couple of hours whenever I feel like it.
I've got alot of opposing feelings and thoughts concerning school and that whole shebang. The basic battle is the one between trying to graduate as soon as possible, and trying to not kill myself. There are a couple of other factors in there including the taking of summer school etc. There will be an event horizon shortly where I'll make decisions related to this.
My oldest friend Jeffrey and I have a mission. We must see
The Price Is Right in person before Bob Barker retires in June. I've made alot of cockeyed plans that never happened in the past, but I'm so serious about this. Somehow, someway, Jeffrey and I will get to L.A. and see it.
Jeffrey and I are irrevocably bonded. As some friends fade into memories, Jeffrey is always there. Thus, it's critical we achieve this goal.
When I was around 4 and 5, I was a proud resident of the ghetto trailer parks of Austin. As my mom worked for damn near minimum wage during the summer, I'd sit around with my stepdad Randy. Being a child, I was ignorant as to our plight, and assumed most people rode around collecting cans off the side of the road for a grand total of 5 bucks after a summer's work.
One thing that was prevalent in those days was
The Price Is Right. Every morning, Randy and I would lay around on the foldout couch-bed and watch the show. We shared laughs, tested our pricing skills, and enjoyed the wit and charm of gameshow host Bob Barker.
Back then, I would think about how you had to be atleast 18 to be on the show, and it seemed so far away.
I owe it to that 4 year old version of myself to get to L.A. and see
The Price Is Right. It's about achieving a childhood goal. It's about doing something memorable for once in my damn life. It's about avoiding an eventual regret. Come hell or high water, it will happen.
