Sorry if i haven't replied to some of your messages, I've just been bummed out over this school thing and trying to figure out what the fuck to do with my life now that the next year and half's worth of plans have been dashed away.

Well shit, I'll be your friend. I just live directly S. of Portland. There are a few metal shows I go to Portland for and bars every once in a while. Hit me up if you're interested.

Edit: I guess it worked out for you.

I was really feeling for you reading through this thread. I feel much better hearing that things are working out. I'm happy for you and I really hope you get what you want out of this school. As for your "impossible" to accomplish dreams, don't delude yourself. Actually, someone who lives at the collective just bought a school bus and is renovating it. He's been saving for six years and in the time I've know him I've never seen him happier. You've always come across as a genuine, resourceful, skilled and thoughtful person with a sharp intellect. You're a quick learner and an incisive observer. I'm sure you'll make it happen.

Wishing you the best

hey just saw this now, but good thread. I am perpetually confused at all times. always have been, I was twisted on thoughts and who to be for that day when I was real young and into fads no one else ever would be at that age. but, now I still deal with this but not as I did at a young age. I know for sure I will never again do the 9-5 for years or ever more than a month, maybe. I have good friends and family who I can stay with when not traveling or staying in my car or camping out. So, I guess thats one reason my plans fail and I end up longing, because I have people who care. I've been staying with my mood imbalanced motha for about 3 or 4 weeks now, working part time jobs to catch a little dough and head west again in a few weeks. All I can say is I convince myself being lost and having plans that fail or dont take off, is better than an office all day with no plans for future trips or ventures and knowing exactly what will go on every fuckin' day till the Great Here After.

On a personal note, I been sitting at my computer for a long time and never thought about adventure in general. This is because I stay on top of my college classes - which I take online at Liberty. But lately, I have sharpened my skills in freelance web design, audio, and video production. I don't get too depressed about sitting at home, but I can get aggravated. The only thing I can tell you, Matt, is to never give in and never stop fighting for what you believe in. I'll be praying for your wisdom and strength.
