THE ALTER EGO

i have no patience for daniel right now, and i think it is really a time when he needs it most. his family is being horrible or at least that how he makes them sound. i guess his grandma pulled him aside tonight and asked why he is doing autmotive technology stuff instead of a business major or something else. it really tears him apart, and then he gets all mopey and then i want to kill him. i am not sure if i can handle his family and his way of dealing with his family. it makes me want to scream! why can they not accept that he is doing what he likes and wants to do. he tried college- he took astronomy, english, math, history, art history, spanish and business classes. he definately discovered what he liked and disliked, and then he decided to be a mechanic. and that's just not good enough for his family. i am not really sure where i am going with this- or if it really had a desitnation.

i was inturrupted by a very kind gentlemen that came in to rent a room. the only reason i met him was because somone died. he was staying with friends and they had a death in the family, so he was bumped out to make room for more family members. he was very interested in the fact that chemistry is my major and the fact that my generation has drive and he thinks generation x does not. so he thinks our two generations will always be clashing and it'll be an interesting political scene in 20 years. it was a very enlightening and positive conversation. it really makes you happy to hear something positive huh? i am off work in twenty minutes, although these last little bit usually goes by so slow. i am going to try and get through it, and then call my brother when i get off work on my walk home, and when i get home i am going to smoke a little something and finish rearranging my room. i'm off to pack up and get ready to go home... ah home...
