Tell me something Good

[tac0tron]

The week-long vacation I took to SF with friends was just what I needed.

 

This year has arguably been the worst year of my life. The result of an isolated domestic dispute has left my family broken, breaking up with my ex was devastating (might sound wimp to some of you but damn it hurts man), and it's all left me in a state of depression. I really felt like I just needed to leave for a while, which prompted this trip for me.

 

After a week of awesome experiences with wonderful people, I've come back with a clear mind and determination to just better myself!

Just received a phone call this morning, and I'm finally able to settle all insurance claims related to my getting-hit-by-a-car accident from last December. I knew this would be a slow, tedious process that would try my patience all year. Being able to finally put this behind me is a great feeling. Go broncos.

things have been up and down since i've moved to france (just trying to get used to living abroad), but i'm finally really pleased with everything. i've been kinda worried about how much i've been spending on everyday things, but also because i just booked a weekend trip to paris with friends and i have to book another trip for the end of October. i woke up this morning and received an email from my school's finance department saying they've disbursed a scholarship award into my bank account. i had no idea the scholarship existed.

96% on my last physics assignment. Was shitting it as I left school 16 years ago, and didn't finish. Pretty stoked. 

[insted]

ok, so:

 

 

this semester i've started school for the first time in years. i felt really motivated and personally ready for the responsibility of furthering my education. i've been doing this and that for a while, working here working there- figuring everything out etc. 

 

class is going fucking great. working 30 hours a week and doing this online algebra course when suddenly-

 

i go out one night to a work party for a place i used to work at / sister currently works at. lots of food and shit loads of sake bombs, it got out of hand really quickly. the next day was the last cut off day to take an exam for my class, and i had every intention of calling it a night early when i went out. 

 

so, get more drunk that i ever have in legitimately years, wake up the next day at 10am in a strange house with a massive scrape on my head and one on my shin (do not know what happened and no one else seems to), catch a ride home with my sister, immediately fall asleep again, wake up at 4pm to my work calling me over and over (8 missed calls) and i realize at this point that 

 

A. I have not taken my test and 

B. I have no called no showed at my job.

 

Sounds awful right? nah it's all good, because-

 

Next day, pull a larry david and just show up at the job like nothing happened - no one even cared, emailed my professor and he said I am permitted to go in and take the exam whenever I want.

 

I can't tell you how embarrassed i was that day/devastated that i (thought i) had ruined my life.

 

Also my fafsa just got processed and I'm eligible for the maximum  amount for the pell grant. lol

 

 

(inserting edit here to say that my job is not really a fuck around type deal - the hiring is quite selective and i'm genuinely lucky to have been granted mercy here. it's the best paying gig i've had ever - just a context providing anecdote to insert. would have been a tragedy to lose lol i don't even know what my life is anymore)

reading week next week.

Getting a better handle on how to manage depression. The sufu community was kind to me considering my past actions and reached out to me when I caused a great many problems. Reading books, exercising, and eating. Had the opportunity to work full-time while a fellow employee was on vaction. Opportunity to apply for full-time employment at a store where music wouldn't be a satellite radio station of 60's tunes. Nearly have enough for a car so I could drive to bus to the job. With that full-time job, I could finally move out. Could see working in retail for awhile until I find something I know I want to pursue.

after about a year and a half of releasing my music to the world, I'm about to hop on a flight to London to go perform at a sold out show alongside my brother DÃœM. an experience like this has been my biggest aspiration for several years and to have made it this far is completely surreal and tremendously exciting.

aw man! if i knew about this i would have totally gone to london for the weekend to see you guys perform!

 

i'd been getting over a pretty rough break up for the past few months and i was getting real tired of feeling like shit about it. i went to paris for a mini getaway with some great friends, met really awesome people, partied super hard, went to the pitchfork music festival and had a fucking blast. there's too much fun in life to be had instead of trippin' over chumps.

grow the fuck up and learn to take care of yourself rather than getting lucky.

Looks like it could be Perfect Grade?

 

I can see the light. New projects and opportunities are on the horizon, though most likely only a select few will actually happen. Pretty excited.

no family or thanksgiving get together made me feel like shit initially; seeing that everyone else i knew had folks to surround them during this holiday. didn't want to feel down about myself however, so i decided to make use of my free time and lonesomeness by getting up at 8am and hitting the skatepark. this specific park is fairly large and typically crowded but it was completely empty today, as expected, and the setting felt like how i'd imagine disneyland would be if i had it all to my own, with the unlimited rides and kettle corn.

 

some other lonesome kids trickled in eventually and were just beasting the spot better than anyone i've seen lately. thought to make conversation since we were the only ones around, at which point i asked why they were even there on such a day. apparently one was trying to get away from his drugged up mom who lives in a rundown trailer home community just north of the park, another was actually homeless. bought these kids bagels, juice and tacos and we skated for nearly 12 hrs --probably the longest session i've had that i can remember. 

 

i know it sounds so fucking cheesy but this unexpectedly turned out to be one of the best, if not most unforgettable, thanksgivings i've celebrated in my adult life.
