It's been a while since I posted anything on this unknown blog. Quite a long time. And much has happened to me in the last year plus. I am not attending school anymore, but that doesn't mean I've graduated. In fact, I am further than ever to achieving that goal.
I know that this isn't the popular stance on the subject, and a highly disapproved stance at that, but I don't think having a degree is a necessity. I know that it's different for everybody, and that's fine. But don't try and shove a degree down my throat, please. I am a terrible student - fantastic worker, and great at learning on the job and exhibiting efficiency - but an absolutely horrendous student. Don't get me wrong, I love to learn, but I just don't have the drive or patience for school. I could probably do it if I don't work at the same time, or if I had someone hounding me every single day to do my homework. And I'm sure I would be glad to have a degree. I just can't do it on my own. And that's that.
Moving on from my spur of the moment rant, the main reason I'm not in school (and the reason I tell everyone when they ask, because I know they'll argue with me if I tell them the above reasons) is I want to be debt free. I want to pay off my student loans and never take one out again. I don't want to worry about having those payments, and I want to leave my future kids to have a normal inheritance, not to inherit a debt. So, I can't be in school right now. I need to pay my debts.
What else have I been up to the last 16 months? Well, I have a band for one. It's pretty much one of the best things to ever happen to me. Those guys are some of the best friends I could ask for, and they're all incredibly talented. We love to write songs together, and they think I'm pretty awesome. Eric (lead vocals) has told me that my awesome bass lines make the foundation of a lot of the songs we write. Well, not really in so may words, but that's pretty much the gist.
I've moved (twice), I've had a boyfriend, I quit one of my two jobs, and I'm planning a family reunion for this summer. I keep myself busy.
All in all, life has been what it always is: crazy. Fads have come and gone, and so have friends. For the most part, I'm happy. I have my moments where I'm dissatisfied or sad, but I get up and move onward, because that's all I can do. If you're not happy, change something. If you can't change anything, quit worrying about it.
That's my rant. I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of writing posts. I want to work on my writing, so maybe I'll throw in a couple short stories or songs if I get the nerve. It's not like anyone reads this, but you never know what the future holds.
Time keeps moving
Life goes on
You can't go back
The beat is still strong
So if you fall
Stand up
Brush yourself off
The time to plan is over
It's time now
To run on
Ciao
Let the Drummer Kick
