03.20.07

You know what?

I'm probably going to go bald or have my hair start thinning by the time I'm 40...

so let me enjoy my follicle growth in all it's glory while I still can.

Let me cherish this volume!

But to answer your question, yes.

Yes, I'll cut it soon.

These past few weeks I've felt like I've had mono...

comboed with an angry cold.

Not a good duo to have to wrestle when you've had so much planned.

Went to D-Land's Califo'nia Ad-Venture for the first time this past weekend.

...Wasn't as bad as I thought.

What it lacks in thrill-rides, it more than makes up in shows.

That Aladdin show? Freakin' bomb, yo.

I could see myself doing that for a summer.

And that little animation workshop extravaganza or whatnot?

That was some slick stuff too. You get to draw, sing/act in a scene and even take a Disney character personality quiz.

Add to the fact that I went with one of the most badass group of kids ever, and you know it's a good time.

Yeah, I'm a goober. I know.

But what you didn't know...

is that I'm the KING Goober, son.

Tell yo' friends 'bout me, sucka.

Kids need to calm down and count to 60.

During that countdown, they need to put their lives into perspective and find what really matters.

What they should do is think first about what they can do to better themselves and then from there, proceed to finds ways to enrich the lives of those around them with whatever they have at their disposal.

There, I said it.

Stop yo' ventin' and do something about it.

It happened. Now move on and make it better or make it different.

I'm just saying.

You ever just feel like you're capable of just too many things?

Putting myself in context, I've found that I'm a little bit of a lot.

I'm average or just a little above average-- in soooo many things.

But I don't really see myself excelling greatly in one thing.

Everyone has that one thing. You know?

That one thing that they're extremely good at and just pick up without any effort whatsoever?

That thing that you know that they should just be doing for the rest of their lives?

Yeah, I need me one of those.

'Cause I thought I knew, but a year in college and you might find yourself questioning EVERYTHING (...and their mother).

I'm beginning to see myself less as a man of science and more of a man of... social science?

I'm becoming more of a people-person and see myself in more of a counselor or social engineering position.

Or an astronaut.

I'm just saying.

I'm just not as motivated anymore.

Not that I was beforehand, but it's even less now than it was back then.

If there's one thing I do concretely have, it's self-assurance...

and that can go a long way.

Docking out...
