I'm not dead, but who could call this a life.

About Me

I'm a fighter, not a lover. This may get long winded and pessimistic, therefore it is not for the faint of heart.I graduated from Foothill High in June of '05 and I have absolutely nothing to do now. I went to Las Positas 05-06, and having already finished a year of credit through AP classes in high school, I have one class to take in Spring 07 til I can transfer to a four-year. I'm currently a workaholic, slaving away at Peet's Coffee and Tea in Dublin and Abercrombie and Fitch in Pleasanton. I'm working at least 70 hours a week and sometimes like to pull in a good 90. My life, therefore, revolves around work. I'm a realist. Things are what they are, I don't care how you spin it. You cannot escape the truth, so own up to it and take pride in it. Otherwise, don't do it. I have to admit that I'm growing up faster than I want to, and in the end, I'm becoming a little bit of a curmudgeon. Nonetheless, I enjoy a good time now and again, but I'm through with life revolving around substances and materials. It will take pieces of you each and every day until what's left is not enough to recognize.

My Interests

Work. Coffee. Tea. Writing. Movies. Meaningful adult conversation. Childish antics involving whipped cream or other hazardous weapons of mass destruction. Politics. Culture. Clothes. Food of all sorts and varieties. Driving aimlessly around doing nothing more than enjoying the company of friends and a good tune on the stereo. Cigarettes in the rain.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet other people who don't really know what's going on with their life. That's not to say people who have no goals or drive, but people that feel like this transitional period in their life is turbulent and chaotic to such an extent that not a day goes by without wondering what road they're on and what forks may lie ahead. I want to meet people that realize irresponsibility kills; that while getting cross-faded is a good time, it shouldn't be your only way to have fun. I'd like to meet some people who are suffering in the suburban splendor and know that it can get worse than this, but that we'll face it one day at a time. And that it is all we can ask for.
