"Fancy Shirt"

i wrote this 3 years ago, but it is so fucking relevant...

I frequently get asked the "what do you want to be" question, and every time I always find it as amusing. What do you mean, what am I going to be? That question indicates that someday, I'll be something, but right now I'm not. I am not going to college to "become" something. I'm going to college to learn about things that I'm interested in. My goal is not to come out of college with a degree and "start my life." My life began 21 years ago. There have been many twists and turns, but there is only one beginning. It's also interesting to see people's faces when they hear I'm studying Anthropology and Sociology. "What can you do with that?" Well, I'll have a decent amount of knowledge about human beings and culture. My goal in life is simple-I want to live a great one. I don't care about money, presents, big houses, fancy cars, etc etc. I just want to have a good time. Why be miserable? In Communications today, our teacher had us go around and say what we were majoring. Then she asked us to say what our dream job would be. 80% of people's answers didn't match up. Why study something if your dream is to do something else? I don't know. It's either too complicated or too simple, but either way I'm done with worrying about things. Life is such a fragile state. I want to do cool shit, meet cool people, hear good music, see good movies, eat good food, and have good conversations. I want to be around people that I love and people that are awesome, regardless what other people think about them. I want to do whatever comes to my mind. Perhaps I have no money, but honestly, what the fuck does some green piece of paper mean when you're breathing your last breath? That you're hooked up to a fancier life support machine? It's senseless to care about bullshit like that. I just want to find a reason to smile and laugh every day, and so far I've been successful. I hope that I always am.
