Inspired Thinking @ MindSay


 

   
I Feel Inspired?

Hey, here I am again.  I noticed that both Mario and Hoz have been putting in more than their usual amount of posts lately and I want to complete the trifecta (or shamelessly try to include myself in something without being invited. potato, potahto).  To catch you up on the last few months it's 2007, Mario has a baby, someone else is now expecting (secret?), and I am inspired to jump on that bus.  What.?  At this rate by the time I get married and have a kid these other two will be in their 7th year of college, so I asked Katie if she would mother my child.  She agreed and with that one fell swoop I will both give my mother the grandchild she won't shut the hell up about and ensure my kid will have a few friends around to describe to him what far away objects look like (see, I'm a good father already).

 

To continue Tanner and I took a small tour of southern New England and surrounding state this past weekend.  Not only was it fun but I got to wear my wristbands and now I feel inspired to go somewhere else.  Yup, I wrote that.  If there's a free place to stay why not?  I'd put up any of my friends from out of town (or persuade my parents too, rather) so I figure it's time to impose on you, even if you haven't yet on me (ahem, my parents).  Next stop . . . who knows but I'm sure I won't have a problem finding someone to come along.  And I'll probably use your soap. Sorry, but that's the last thing I ever, or ever will, think to pack.

 

Inspiration.  That is my theme this evening.  And it was all inspired by an away message I wrote, "Do I need to be more proactive?"  At first it was just something I wrote, few of my away messages have any inherent meaning and this one is (or was, depending on when you read this post) no exception.  I've tried it a few times in the past, being proactive, but usually only when I felt very strongly about something.  The little things were pretty hit or miss.  I'd usually rather be not cleaning my room or at the bar.  But then, while showering, "Do I need to be more proactive?" got me thinking.  I'm not usually one to take initiative and do new things, right?  So what if I were?   . . . That's it.  Did you expect something more profound?

 

And with that I'm feeling inspired to sleep.

Everyone is inspired to do something stupid, and I am inspiration
Today I feel... inspired.

Inspired to do what? Inspired to do next to nothing.

....

That's right. And tomorrow I am going to take that retarded performance test for trombone because I cannot handle concert band music on this crummy flute I have to fix in the middle of playing. And I am so scared because I don't know... I feel so dumb lately. I found out that I have a 21% chance of getting into the college I really truly want to. I mean, getting into this college means moving away from everything and going to Utah or staying here for family visits at least four times a year. With my crummy luck and crappy performance this marking period, I better start packing my bags for Utah... I doubt I will get accepted.

My father said that now is the difference between--not getting into college--but the one I want.

I don't know why but I just can't keep up in Spanish class... and I think I'm going to flip. I used to do so good. And now I can barely understand what in the world is going on around me.

So that's how it's going for me right now.

I hope the PSATs are available in the spring.
