Never Thought Forever Would Go This Fast

Well here it is, Saturday, August 13th.

Just getting home from a long night at work. Man, who knew that employees at Walmart are so fucking stupid? Thats a rhetorical statement. I've been working there a month and I have already achieved a promotion over people who have been working there for 5 years. I have become the head honcho in the frozen food aisle...that is when Kristene is not around. She's a really cool girl. She has everyone that works in grocery convinced that I am a clone of Jack Black. I don't see it. The thing is I get that all the time too. Hey, you know who you remind me of? Let me guess. Sisqo? Sting? Martha Stuart? Trent Yeoman? Anyway, they have nick named me Mr. Freeze. I'm still trying to figure out if that is really gay, or really cool. I think its pretty gay, but the fact that they tried to give me a nick name is a nice sediment (yes I mean sediment). I have come to grow an immense hatred for frozen food. I don't know if its the fact that I put up with it for 9 hours every night, yea thats it. I come home and I open the freezer and I am immediately regretful that I opened it. Nothing in there appeals to me anymore. It is nice coming home with some Dave Matthews Band Magic Brownie Ice Cream every night. Who could have thought that the collaboration of DMB and Ben and Jerry could be so nice.

I go home every night on my lunch break, I don't know why. Its not like anyone is going to be on the computer at 2-3 in the morning anyway. I have come to notice that the traffic lights have the same routine every time. I turn out of Walmart, I get in the left turn lane to turn onto Main. The light is red when I get there. The opposing traffic gets the green light, of course there is no one out to use it. I sit for about 2 minutes waiting for the light to change. That light and I really don't like each other, its a mutual despising. I go all the way down to State Road 23. I right turn on red. The light turns red as I approach the stop light for Cleveland and 23. I eventually make it to the light on 23 and Fir. Its always green, but I have to stop and wait for the arrow. I look at the light and I give it a toothy smile, every time I do, it turns green. Its a straight shot home from there, It just freaked me out because this has been a non-faulty routine for about a month now. It may sound stupid to you, but I think its pretty cool.

I went to Bella Vita last night with Ryan. I "forgot" Dan was there with his friend Jackie. She seemed like a really cool girl. She laughed at my humor, so I like her right from the get go. Back to the story. D-Unit and myself wanted to check out this rumored $8 water that they sold. Right now you're probably saying what kind of dumb shit pays $8 for water? We didn't. The mystical water that everyone talks about is only $2.39 after tax. I have to say that I was disappointed with the product. It tasted no different than the water I get out of the faucet of my sink. Its all in the packaging. I mean...VOSS. The bottle looks like one of those canisters of ooze from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Its a sweet ass bottle. Plus who can resist and bottle of water that says "artesian water from Norway". I mean...pfft...Norwegian water does it get any better than that? If anyone is thinking mineral water from Germany...I will kill you. That shit is gross.

I need to have a good hangout with Dan and ChelC...I'm already going through denial of all my friends being gone. I need to get in touch with old friends that are still here. I need to go have lunch with Whitney and Heather sometime. I've never hung out with Heather outside of school, I think its past due that I do that. I just need to have someone to reminisce on the summer with me, someone who was there, God knows Dan and ChelC were. What a summer...

Today, the day all of my dearest friends leave to start their lives. It makes me look back on all the good times I had with everyone. I could remember being naive, innocent little kids. Thinking that all the good times and the fun would go day in and day out and last forever. For a while there it really did. As the title says though, I never thought forever would go this fast. I've just been reflecting a lot on everyone that is leaving, and I focus on all the good times I had with that individual. None of the bad. I don't want to remember any bad thoughts about anybody. One example I am going to use is Ian. After all of the stuff that has happened to him on the fallout of this summer, I didn't get a goodbye. The last thing I did was shake his hand and give him a stare of death and anger. Thats not what I wanted at all. The last thing I would ever want is to have a farewell happen that way...but it did. I couldn't say goodbye to him over the internet. The least I could do without getting him into further trouble was to call him and say goodbye. I know for a fact that he is going through hell right now. I just needed to use that as an example. A bad time, I don't want to think about. I just want to focus now on when I go down to visit the guys and I get to make up for how I acted to him. Ryan is gone. Scott is gone. Robbie is gone. Ben is gone. Gone...am I sad, no, not in the least. In fact I couldn't be happier. How else am I going to experience P-Due if I'm not going yet? Thats right, through my bros. Everyone that is gone, I will miss you a great deal. All you bastards have to come back eventually, I will be waiting for you to come back too. If you leave me in this hell hole and never come back I will be pissed as hell. Meh...G-Town's not that bad. Here's to the day though. Here's to all those good times we had and the good times yet to be had. You all have made my life all that much better by having some sort of role in it. You are all my friends and forever will be. You scratch my balls, I'll scratch yours. I meant back of course. I'm just saying, now there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles, the time comes to remember for one long last while, we can laugh about how time really flies, we won't say goodbye, cause true friendship never dies. You'll all be friends forever in my eyes.
