phase 2
i think i'm going to retire now, for two reasons: one, life is alot more fun when you don't have to work; and two, i'd like to be able to use my social security benefits before they get washed down the drain. what's the point in waiting until you're old and decrepit and only enjoy bingo and shuffleboard to retire, when you can do it while you're young and can enjoy life to the fullest? that part never makes sense to me. it would seem to be more beneficial to do all the stuff you want to do now... go places, see things, do stuff, etc... and then just work the rest of your life to pay off the debt you'd incur from your meandering ways. i mean, that's sort of the way college works (have fun, rack up debt, work to pay it off the rest of your life), so why can't you extend the principle to the rest of your young adult life? hmmm...did i mention that i'm done with work? well, probably not work in general, but at least with the warehouse. for good, this time, i think. of course, i've said that before only to return a semester or two later, but this time i'm going to try and make sure it's different. not that it's a horrible place to work... it's been a blessing in some ways over the past four and a half years (holy crap, have i really been there that long? crikey), but it's definitely time to move on, for a plethora of reasons
spent some time down at old orchard beach this afternoon. i feasted on some pier fries (which are pretty much the best. fries. ever. anywhere.), frolicked in the waves, and enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather and the seasonably freezing cold water. and it was a good day. i found a sweet pair of shoes on sale at ems for only twenty bucks. score. i'd been looking for a good pair of water shoes/sandals, and these are the perfect fit. literally. there was only one pair left on the shelves, and they were my size. i took it as a sign from above, and bought them posthaste
i just finished reading the bourne identity, and let me tell you what: the movie was really good, but the book is unreal. i mean, it was so intense at times, i had to remind myself to breathe. wow. definitely worth picking up if you're looking for a good espionage thriller
coming this weekend... the great american road trip. i got my national parks pass that i ordered in the mail today, so we are even one more step closer towards being all systems go. holy crap i can't wait

yeah, its cool how the friendships we made freshman year still remain. i still see sam, mark, and gabe all the time. we are all planning making a trip out to see john d. at ball state one of these weekends. we definitely had some awesome units. definitely a kickass ra too. easter weekend was one of the high points in my college career. i wish we could get that tape...goodluck on the last few days before the trip.
those are some sa-WEET shoes!
"holy" and "crap" do not belong in the same phrase! That's an oxymoron, if I ever saw one!
