New Year, New Me: An Epilogue
                          It gets sad.
So I started this post at the beginning of the year and I wasn't expecting to make another entry. It started off as me writing this piece about how websites tell you what you can and cannot do when you turn 25.
I'm kinda right and so wrong.
First off, I only did a few things I set out to do:
I did workout
I did go back to school (for a photoshop class :P)Â
I have stayed away from pot.Â
I also did a couple open mics at one place in SF.
What didn't happen in the last year (It gets long):
I stayed at my dead end job where I make an unlivable $14.75/hr
Still haven't had sex in 2 years
I moved out of a house, where me and my friends were staying, and moved back to my hometown. I'm living with my parents and have been living there for almost 6 months (I'm going to be 26 tomorrow).Â
I haven't made a movie, sketch, write, paint, or any sort of special affects test.Â
I didn't travel
I didn't go to a concert, club, or any real social gathering.
and there's a few more I'm most likely forgetting.
I still drink
So, now lets get into some more detail.
I got rid of my friends.
I dropped all my friends. That's right, all 3 of them. I've been with these motherfuckers since I was in high school and I thought they would change.
They didn't.
Let me give you the skinny on why I moved to Sacramento and why I moved back to the cuts.
I moved to Sacramento because my friend wanted to save money by renting a cheap house. Having four people occupy it and just pay a lot less than we would be paying if we all got places of our own. I moved out of my parents and into this house and was paying less than living with my parents. The reasons I left and don't talk to my friends anymore are as follows:
They smoked pot everyday for breakfast and dinner
They didn't do any of the yard work (except for one or twice) which I had to do myself, because the weeds for over 6ft and we had half an acer in our backyard
My roommates girlfriend disliked me. She would speak passive aggressively  about me through him, she didn't have a steady job (she worked like 6-12 hours a week and make huge commutes for like $10/hr) and she was just as unproductive.
They didn't save money, which was the reason we were renting that place.
I would go out of my way to do shit for them, but when I needed them, they wouldn't budge.
My friend and his girlfriend spent my cut of the security deposit (about $390; some small claims court shit right?).
So fuck those guys.
It's a Drag Getting Old
I'm fucking old. 4 years to 30 and nothing to show for it. I have culinary degrees, but what else? The whole point of this New Year, New Me thing was to show that websites that say "you can't do that at 25" were wrong. I'm sure they are but it's hard to prove them wrong.
Why I feel like I've wasted my youth and wasting the last of it:
I've only had 3 sexual partners (but have had sex plenty of times, stop fucking judging you pricks)
Never had sex with a "beautiful" woman...it's a subjective term.
Haven't lived on my own.
I've never blacked out.Â
I've never traveled.Â
I've never did anything daring.
I'm still anti social
I'm going through an existential crisis.
And everything else I mentioned.
I find myself now trying to look younger, wanting to be sexy to someone over 18 and less than 30. I try and make people laugh and remember be, ( you know, leave an impression? I don't know) it fuckin' falls short every time. I'm trying to be more honest with myself and I have to confess...
...I'm an attention whore.
I want to be popular. I want to please people. I want to create movies, pictures, stories, jokes, anything that would please anyone. I would go out of my way just to please someone; a total random stranger. I know it's not healthy or what you "Normies" would perceive as normal, but that's what I want, no, NEED. I can't live with myself working at a 9 to 5 job where I'm depressed and stressed. I fear that I am too old for the entrainment industry. It doesn't help that I'm starting with nothing, no real career to pay for the materials needed to start. Not to mention the skills.
conclusion
It's Bad. Just not where I saw myself at 26.
Optimism for 2017
