The World Revolves Around $

And I hate that.

We dish out thousands of dollars, to go to school, to get an education, to graduate, to go to college, to earn a degree, and to go out into the world and make more money so we can pay it out in sweat, tears, arms and limbs back to the government so that they can fund all the other crap going on around the world. There's life in a nutshell. Live, pay taxes, and die.

Basically, we spend a ton of money to take a few classes, pass a few courses, and earn our degree in whatever field we're going into. You can pass with a D average. That means that just about ANYONE could get a degree if they have the money to. So who says that some guy with a D-average from some prestigeous school isn't performing brain surgery right now? Whos to say our technicians aren't all slobs who just happened to come from rich families? I'm over exaggerating a bit here... My point is that my only motivation right now in college is to keep scholarships I have. I have to get a 3.0 atleast to get about $1500 a year. Right now, I think I have about a 2.8 gpa. Honestly, I don't really care. I'm working pretty hard. I'll admit it's not my best. But I have a job. I have a social life. So I don't want to spend all my free time working on a research paper that counts for 1/4 of my grade. Sue me. I don't know... maybe I'm stressing over things that don't really matter much... And I think that's what's getting to me, really. I'm tired of stressing about things. I want to live! lol

Money isn't exactly a great motivation factor for me. I don't care much about it. If I want something, I'm gonna just buy it and worry about it later. I'm not a stupid shopper. I don't indulge in everything that I want. I don't just go on shopping sprees and spend hundreds of dollars. The most i'll get is like a new pair of shoes, or a few new cds or something like that. That's it. But in terms of like scholarships, I feel like I'll end up paying it all back to my parents anyway, and I'll hopefully make enough in my career that later on, it won't really matter. Because honestly, I don't think it will matter.

Bottom line, I don't want money to rule my life. I don't want to worry about it all the time. I don't want it to be something that hangs over my head any time I use a credit card (which I actually still don't have). Other than that... I'm just stressing about school and the fact that my parents are going to be pretty pisssed off at me when they find out that I'm losing this scholarship that I didn't even apply for... my dad did. :-P I'll just give them $1500. I started paying for gas now too, because I got tired of my parents complaining about money. That's what I DONT like. It's what I dont want to hear. So I thought I'd ease that burden off their hands and put it into mine. I guess I have to get used to it anyway.

I can't wait to move out and live out my career... whatever and where ever that actually means... Who knows.

I hate money.

A Tiny Annoyance

There's this girl in my Sociology class... she seems innocent enough. She even looks innocent enough.

I take with great respect the use of a hi-liter. They're convenient for pointing out or making clear to you something that may be important. It may be some key aspect in something you're doing.

This girl...let me tell you. She had it all wrong, ok? lol She abused the right to having or using a hi-liter. She used it for her planner. Not just hi-liting key events, or important days, no... she didn't stop there. She would take the thing and hi-lite the whole bloody paper! What is the point??

I dont know.. that got on my nerves. Who uses a hi-liter to hi-lite an entire page in a planner? It would be one thing if she did it to just one. Maybe that was some BIG day for her. No... she hi-lited EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Retarded. And a waste of perfectly good hi-liting ink. Whatever...

Recording: Take Me Somewhere

So today I wrote a song: Take Me Somewhere. I recorded it today too. It sounds pretty good except for a few parts that are choppy, and not in time... but other than that I'm pretty happy with the way that it turned out.

You can check it out at www.myspace.com/abbyfisher

Or you can just read about it... your choice.

Anyway... writing it was the easy part. Recording was the part that really tripped me up. I programmed all the drums and guitar parts myself, because I can't actually do that kind of thing myself. :-P

To put in the snare part, I had to hit the "d" button on my keyboard really fast. And then to get everything in time, and make it sound decent... it's a lot harder than it all sounds.

But anyway, I'm pretty happy with the outcome, so you really should check it out if you're interested. I might start recording more solo material more often, but we'll see... I may just have that be material for my band, "The End All." Who knows...

Have a nice day.

One more update:

I decided to re-do my room. It kind of started with the mural, but now I want everything to go with it. My dresser is ancient. I want a new one entirely. I'm getting a new bed - hopefully a bigger one. Maybe i'll get one with the drawers underneath to save space. And then I want to re-paint the other walls to go with the mural. Purple and flowery doesn't exactly match punk-rock ataris wall. haha

I want to re-do the interior of my closet. Maybe find another place for my cds. They aren't all fitting on the shelf in the closet... who knows what's happening in there. haha

I've always wanted hardwood floors... my dad says that isn't happening.

I def need a bookshelf.

I guess as I come up with more ideas i'll put them into effect... for now it's basically an unstructured mess in progress. :-P

As soon as I finish (if I ever do) I will take pictures and post them here.

Until then, wish me luck in my endeavours.

:-D

Have a nice day.
