Mr. Brightside

Wow, what can happen when you leave your blog alone for a while! First, I have to get this out of my head: "I'm gonna be somebody. One of these days I'm gonna break these chains. I'm gonna be somebody, some day. You can bet your bottom dollar I will." That has been in my head ever since finals. The final, to be specific. That thing was horrific. I went in early that Friday morning, and I left late that Friday evening. (Or was it very early Saturday morning? I don't remember honestly) Anyway, I went out with a bunch of my friends to the strip, and we had a great time after the final. We were finally out at cheap shots when this rock band covered that country song and made it sound cool. Everyone was singing to it. I mean everyone. Usually around finals, all the students pack their things up as soon as their last final is finished, and they hit the road. It seemed like this semester was different. Everyone was out on the strip that night, and there had to be hundreds, if not thousands (I kid you not, people in the street), of people singing along with us. It was wicked. Then, a few other things happened. I had an internship opportunity pop up out of nowhere in North Caronlina. I was over the moon. They just called me out of the blue one day at work. The faculty in my department didn't even recommend me for it is the thing. I got this one all on my own. The fact that the faculty didn't promote me for the position rubbed me the wrong way. No, it pissed me off to find that out. Kinda like a more recent development pissed me off. (more on that in a bit) I worked really hard for the faculty and my department, and I seemed to get nothing in return for it. Then, all of a sudden they recommend me for a position at a Fortune 28 company in Ohio. I turned it down, much to their dismay. He he he. Revenge is a dish best served cold. So, I am awaiting a summer of uncertainty and adventure. It's just the way I like it. I think that life will get very interesting in the near future. Well, this is a very optimistic blog entry, isn't it? Ok, now for the buzz kill. A 'friend' of mine is staying with me for half of the summer. So, last night for some reason I discovered that my phone wasn't ringing even when it wasn't off of silent mode. I went to use his phone to call my cell phone just to test it out. Low and behold, I put the number in there and dial, and then I see that my name had been saved in an unflattering form. Actually, it wasn't my name at all but a nick-name surely derived by my 'friend'. So, here's the skinny... I'm thinking, very seriously thinking, about kicking his ass out. I'm sure this is a little inside joke that is played behind my back with him, his girlfriend, and a couple of our mutual 'friends'. Either that, or he's just an ass munch. I'm leaning heavily towards the former, as I know those guys pretty well. Especially one of them. So, if you guys happen to bother upon my blog entry, just know that I don't care what you call me. Your opinions of me mean dick shit, for the record. Sometimes, you just have to wonder if you will ever find one human being who will just be unbiased and loyal. I don't think that I have yet. Oh well, my life is on the up and up. I know where I'm going, and I know what it's going to take to get me there. For the past year I have lived in complete poverty. I haven't had time to take care of myself or the things I own to be honest. Most people don't understand that unless they go through my major. So, I will do both this summer. I have less than a year left before I move on with my life. I can't wait for it to get here, because I know that the suffering of my mind and body will pay off after it arrives. There's the egg a little more sunny side up. "Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies. Choking on your alibis, but it's just the price I pay. Destiny is calling me. Open up my eager eyes, cus I'm Mr. Brightside."
