I graduated from high school
relatively recently (7 months ago), and I've since spent my time languishing away in front of this computer nearly every waking hour of every day. I was sort of hoping I wouldn't be the only lazy fuck in that position here in hopes of boosting my self-esteem just a tad, but you people just couldn't afford me that solace, could you?
As far as hobbies go, I don't really have any dedicated interests right now. I got a bike recently, and it was my one true love BFF 4ever xoxo for a month or two. I fucking love bikes, but it wasn't long before I wound up busting the front brakes and I haven't really bothered riding it since. By the time I get around to exchanging it for something less broken, it'll probably be too cold to ride it, anyway. It was fun to have an excuse to get out of the house while it lasted, though. Before that, jogging was my thing, but I'll never be able to go back to that now.
Oh, and there's drawing. Drawing has been my big thing for a while now, but even after 3 or so years, I still haven't gotten over the initial learning hump where you finally start creating things that don't look like shit, so it's practically impossible for me to work up the motivation to even attempt it- I understand that just about 98% of all the artists who ever amounted to anything were the sort of people who've been drawing since adolescence, a time where the quality of your work isn't a hindrance because you're only drawing for the fun of it, so shame on me for taking this long to get into it, I guess. Regardless, I still have a pretty intense interest in the arts and all of my ideal career paths revolve around me being able to paint at a Conceptart.org level of skill, so I'm really trying to crack down on that and make some progress.
All the same, I'm really starting to doubt that my work ethic will ever be up to par for a competitive job in the entertainment industry as a concept artist or anything, so I'm beginning to consider biting the bullet and taking up an entirely different career altogether. I've been particularly interested in becoming a pilot lately, and it actually seems to be within the realm of possibility for me, as flight school isn't the sort of setting where my abysmal GPA would have any sort of impact on my progress whatsoever. So that means my top priority right now is to get a job, and I suppose I'll stick with that for a year or two until I've earned the odd $32,000 required for me to pursue that pipe dream. Of course, that'd also mean I'd have to pass a class 3 or higher medical exam as soon as possible, since my eyes and ears seem to be failing me at a breakneck pace and it'd suck beyond all comprehension if I was barred from even attempting to fly right off the bat.
As for other interests, I like thinking, too! I do a lot of thinking, which has had the unfortunate consequence of granting me an overwhelming fondness for the anarchist philosophy. I haven't even scratched the surface of it yet, but I'm pretty certain that the more I dig, the more chuffed I'm going to become with this line of thought, which will only lead me to become progressively more discontent with our current social hierarchy and the fact that nothing will ever change it, ever. So that will most likely end with me meeting up with the friend who got me into this in the first place, and then we'll probably lead a life of travel, poverty, recreational drugs and body odor together. I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh, and I haven't been playing too many games recently either, save for
Nomltest which has got me hooked like you wouldn't believe. Man, what is
up with that, guys? Were our parents right all along? Are we actually outgrowing games? This is terrible.
