i autographs my lyrics with a number 2 pencil

i am up late (not unusual), thinking (typical) about school. i am waiting to hear back from several grants and scholarships. damn it, higher education is expensive. and i am thinking that if school doesn't happen, i will be ok because i will figure out a way to get what i need. today in a moment of absurd self pity i said to a friend "guess i am too poor to learn". shut it down! ridiculous and dare i say i offended myself by my own nonsense.

time to get scrappy with your dreams, alter your white picket iPhone expectations. the global economy bit back and it has rabies. our indulgence has run its course and we are no longer the little emperor. the truth hurts bad, real bad. time to settle the score.
