So I was watching the news tonight and a story came on about Athens and about how now they have those "Donate to the Homeless" meters. It was very strange watching it and seeing dowtown Athens in the background. When I lived in Athens, I always had a love/hate relationship with downtown. I can remember so many horrible things that happened to me down there. I remember (a long time ago) M- taking me out and us a starlight walk around the water foutain on North Campus. I remember gettting drunk in The Globe too many times with too many good friends. I remember trying to sober up in the Grill. I also remember almost getting arrested a few times. I remember several fights that were avoided. I remember getting stuck in the rain and having to run all the way across downtown to get back to my jeep. Overall, considering everything evenly, I had good times.
So back to the newstory. So I'm watching it and remembering all of these things and I feel kind of sad. It's really depressing to realize that since I moved here I have not really had any fun. Oh sure, I'm not spending much money (but then again, since I don't have a job I'm not earning any either). But MAN! I get bored of staring at the walls of my apartment sometimes. I figure once I can get involved in a few more clubs and I actually succeed in getting a job (which means probably in Douglasville or in Newnan either way a 45min commute) my life will be more complete. So now, in essence, I'm waiting for life to begin. twiddling my frickin' thumbs. yay.
You would not believe how many books I've read in the past month though... So being a hermit is good for something after all. Well, that and I've been working out like some sort of beast. N- would be proud of me.
