Cracker Jack Decoder Ring

Having recently turned 21, I've noticed an increasing number of high school classmates becoming engaged, mostly to people from outside the cliques of HHS. Well duh, we're getting older, it's getting to be that time. Is it? To me, we as an age group, as a class, are not ready to make such a commitment. We can barely keep plans for the weekend. I cannot fathom these people having the finances to start lives together. What are they thinking?

I am beginning to think, maybe it isn't the marriages. Maybe it's the next step. The getting a house, settling down in one place for an extended time. Paying bills and keeping up with the Joneses. Then what, kids? Fuck that.

People of this age group are too self-involved to be able to commit themselves to anything, we are still moving too fast. Do these people have a career? Financial plans for the future? Or are they just hoping their new in-laws will croak and leave it all to the happy couple?

There is no way I could ever drag someone else into such a situation.
"I may have $61 to my name, but I don't care! Let's jump head-first into one of the most important decisions one makes in their lives.
With this perceived lack of planning, there is a strong percentage you will end up making this decision again. I'd say, 50%.

Your face is not your own

While I am unsure why, a picture of Dom and I suckin' face has made its way into the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. It's probably some kind of statement about myspace, privacy on the internet, modern women, blah blah SCANDAL! Teaching us a lesson of some kind. Modern artists and their novel ideas.

I'm in a winter coat, so it's not a flesh thing. I'm not embarrassed of such a picture. So what was the criteria? Why was my profile picture one of the chosen ones, out of... how many people are on myspace now? All the down-the-shirt boob shots and emo angles and legitimate non-myspace photos.
It's Interesting.

I guess I'm art to someone then. Now that's a strange concept.

DIY

I cut it on my own. Fuck ya, salon.

I need to be impressive in order to improve my mood.

I'm covered in bug bites, yet I've been inside most of the day.

I can love myself if I try a little.
