maybe i should have. but i didn’t, and its not going to change anything weather i did it or not. even if i am wrong, don’t you think you could be a little more considerate? today i start my first day of work in months!! i would think you want me to have a good start. instead, I’ll chase you all over town only to have you walk away. even tho i drive, walk so i feel even worse. that”ll teach me.
am i crazy? or are you?

An acquaintance is trying to explain to me why she is so tired of YouTube, holding them fully responsiblefor the videos that are uploaded onto the site. And how Facebook has the potential to destroy relationships, creating secrecy in an otherwise open friendship. Something about a marshmallow effect…
This particular conversation about YouTube was about these two kids, 17 and 20, who went out with their video camera and started stalking a homeless man. After that got boring, the 20-year-old Taylor C. Giresi decided to pick a fight with this innocent man. 50-year-old David Ivins has lived in the Wall Twp. / Belmar area for some time now, Ive seen him myself (I live in the next town over). The assault included punches to the face, a knee to the groin, even a round-house kick to the head was said to have happened.
Were living in a time where kids want fame, it seems, more than ever. Its become so easy for us to imagine what life could be like if we were rich and famous. We all have visions of stardom and money and popularity, but since the Internet has brought those who have made it to the “big time” right to our lap, we seem to forget all the hard work and dedication and years of commitment needed to even deserve those things.
We cant let money get mixed up with happiness. Diluted emotions only lead to insecurity.
Today I went and got a new copy of my Birth Certificate, after losing my original along with my social security card. Now that I have my Birth, I plan to go get the Soc. tomorrow.
All of this is making me think about how my life is changing from bad to good really quickly, since I’ve turned my lifestyle away from the negative. I start my first job in Thursday, got my birth certificate (which has been lost for almost 5 years, and my soc.), getting my soc. card, can start payin my fines, get my license back, like, alot of things are changing for me. Maybe thats what lead me here to tumblr in the first place, convinced myself to finlly share my stuff, weather people read it or not. I need to start gettin some money flow into my bank account.
NYC, here I come!!
we want to be the adult because its more challenging, and challenges make us stronger. that’s how we know whats right & wrong, its evolutions reward system. but that part of us that never wants to grow up will always be there to question responsibility.
im calling this the kick.
My own personal way of keeping things real and interesting, giving depth to the things that usually feel shallow. The name refers to “kicking” any untrue, unthought-out, rushed threw information from clouding anyones perspective who’s willing to trust my written word, or at least find something worth while. But thats not what this is about, never has been. This is the very first time I’ve decided on actually writing for others to see and read. I hope I can be as me as possible, and to be understood. Simply that.
I feel thoughts coming rapidly…
