synapheia

considering my unending need for money
and the fact that i don't have a job [still]
i've decided to take a different approach
i'm going to follow in the footsteps of the us government
[that fine and exemplary institution]
my plan is as follows:


–i'll announce my plan to accomplish a ridiculous feat [in this instance, i'll use hiking to venezuela], while explaining how it will benefit everyone in the long run [my experiences traveling there will give me a new world view, one which is much more accurate and capable of tackling today's tough social dilemmas]

–following that, i'll layout how much i estimate that i'll need [i'm gonna ballpark it around $100,000, just because]. since i only have ~$200 on me, i'll amend that by saying i'll pay all costs accrued at a later date when i do have it

–to pay for my trip, i'll pick about 1000 adults at random and send them the bills for everything i rack up, with a decent explanation of what i was doing. given the variety, most will not support my activities, and angrily declare that they aren't going to pay for it. i might get lucky and have ten pitch in considerable sums because "it's important to support everyone's hopes, dreams, and goals in this uncertain time"

–in response to the adults who don't pay my way, i'll publicly lambast them for being unfeeling to the more financially destitute, and label them as misers who don't care about the country as a whole. following that, i'll contact wealthier people i do know and complain how certain people aren't allowing me to live up to the potential good i can do for myself and others. i'll play to their sympathies, and likely end up with somewhere around $300,000

–i'll proceed to blow the money on junk food, various electronics, and other useless things that don't help me or anybody else, wait for the money to be wrung dry, then whine that a lack of support has left me unmotivated to accomplish my dreams. public outcry from a small but vocal group of supporters will then push me to repeat the process, this time with a loftier, more ridiculous goal, and needing even more money.

i think i need to look into internships for next summer
i've spent too many summers at home
i think just being here unmotivates me to do anything productive
i have plenty of food, shelter, security,
and if i run out of cash i can bum some from my parents
perhaps working for a summer away from here will do the trick
that or it i'll just get lazy, forget to do it, then come back here anyway
whichever

the semester is approaching quickly,
which i honestly could care less about
after the nonstop fervor of last semester
i really haven't been thinking much of school
i think my schedule's gonna quickly ease itself into a nice routine
one right on the cusp of 'just enough work to do'
hopefully, with a job of some sort,
and the steadiness of classes,
i'll just settle into a nice, relaxing daily routine
i think i deserve it by this point

and, of course, the eternal question remains:
will living alone turn me into a complete recluse?
or will i just be slightly more reclusive than i am now?
only time [and people who come to bother me] will tell
