Why do I put up with your shit? I’m sick of it. I don’t do shit to you and you go and treat me like shit. I’m so glad I’m leaving in a little over a week, I won’t have to deal with you, it couldn’t come any sooner. Honestly, what have I ever done to you for you to constantly put me down? You know what I think it is, I think you’re insecure. I should just stop talking to you altogether. Everyone agrees that I don’t deserve even half the shit you give to me, I don’t give you shit. You seem to think I’m socialy retarted, but I don’t think the same way you do, I have different values and morals and you need to realize that. If you keep treating people like this you won’t end up having any friends…

Pullman can’t come soon enough…

I am so excited to be leaving for college. This past week I went to Pullman for the first time, my first reaction when I got there was that this is maybe one of the smallest towns I have been in, and I was wondering where all the buildings were. I was beggining to feel very reluctant for going to school here. That has completely changed. I couldn’t be more excited. Once I finally got on campus and walked around I felt like I was back in the city.
I’ve got my classes all now. I’m going to start applying to some jobs once I get back over there in less than two weeks. It couldn’t come any sooner. I’m longing for the day I leave. I’m going to miss quite a few things here though. But it’ll be more than worth it.

This town is so small. Less than 30,000 population. The college is the town. I didn’t think I was going to like it at all. there aren’t any buildings, and the biggest buildings are the residence halls. But I’m actually starting to love it. I feel like an adult, I feel free. I feel like I can do what I want when I want. I like the responsibility. First things first, when I move in I need to find a job, this is priority number one, I don’t even care where, as long as I have a job. I’m deffineitly going to miss my old job, no doubt about that. The people that I work with…we all just get along, and I know how to do my job, and I do it effectively. But oh well, I gotta move on.

For awhile now I’ve noticed that doing the right thing almost always has no reward and doing the wrong or immoral thing often has some sort of plus to it…why is that? Why should there be a reward for doing the wrong thing. But is there such a thing as the wrong thing? If you look at it from a different perspective does anyone actually think what they’re doing is wrong?

The best way I feel to look at it is this, say you are a schotophrenic murderer, do you really think that murdering someone is wrong, most likely not. The only reason is that society, or the government deems it wrong, and therefor it must be right? But now we can take this to other examples such as drugs. Just because someone or something deems it to be wrong does not make it wrong at all. Why should someone dictate a personal decision in your life that affects no one other than you. Sure murder is wrong, but maybe from someone elses perspective, or culture it isn’t.

Over the past week I’ve been shopping for dorm room supplies. So far I’ve got All of my bedding and a whiteboard. Now I’m looking for posters and a little bit of furiture, but I’m not sure what to get. I’m thinking like a lovesac or something similar. I’m also looking for a microwave and a mini-fridge. College is a little over a month away and I’m so excited, I don’t even know what I’m going to do until then and once I get there. I’ve also been looking at jobs recently over in Pullman and Moscow, there isn’t much there to offer, but I’m sure I’l find something eventually.

The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What happens when you ban firearms, who are the only people that have them? The government and criminals (I consider them one in the same). This leaves ordinary citizens with no way to defend themselves, except for the police, which won’t be there right away, and whom I wouldn’t trust to protect my rights because they seem to violate the 4th Amendment all the time, but that’s for a different post. So if criminals are the only ones to have guns how am I, an ordinary citizen allowed to protect myself from people who have the weapons, the fact is I can’t and calling 911 is not a viable option. The fact is I would not be able to protect myself. Can you really say that you would feel safe if only criminals had firearms?

A couple of days ago I was thinking, what makes something a crime, is it just something the government says is wrong, is something morally wrong, no its neither of those. Its something that violates anothers basic rights, the right to life, liberty and property as stated in the Social Contract. So then it got me thinking, why are things that have no victims a crime, such as drug laws, why are drugs illegal when they hurt no one but the user. Then it hit me, drugs are illegal because the Government believes they can make money on them, but in fact they are wasting so much tax dollars each year on the war on drugs. Didn’t the government learn that prohibition of alcohol didn’t work, so how are drugs any different, plus I would consider alcohol a drug, it can be far more mind altering than some drugs. I think within the next 20 years drugs will be decriminalized, we just need to get some forward thinking people into office, and we also need to get rid the the two party system here in the US.

Ouch… I got my wisdom teeth removed last Friday the 11th of July. I was not looking forward to it, especially since I was going to be awake for the whole think, well that’s what I thought. They gave me sleeping pills, but I wasn’t sur eI was going to be able to sleep though it, but then they gave me gas and novacane, and I was out, it was roughly a two hour opperation for me for some reason, where it normally would’ve taken 45 minutes or so.

So I’ve just been sitting here the past couple of days trying to heal, and I’m doing better, it hurts most of the time. I was allergic to the origional pain killers they gave me, the vicodin, but now I have some percocet and I’m doing much better. I go back to work on Tuesday so hopefully I’ll be up to par by then.

I’m done. I still can’t believe it. I’ve been out of school for about 2 and a half weeks, almost 3, and it still hasn’t quite hit me yet. I’m getting pretty excited for college coming up in August, I’m going to Washington State University (WSU). My first day of school is August 25th. I still don’t have hardly anything for college yet, except my laptop. I’m rooming in the Waller Dorm, it is an all male dorm, which I’m not quite excited about, and I am rooming with one of my friends from high school. But I’m sure I’ll have fun in college.
