Today

I have work in 45 minutes. I haven't done anything productive all day. I mean, I picked up a little bit around my girlfriends apartment. I've been here since Saturday. The reason being is that I'm broke. She lives twenty minutes away as opposed to the hour and a half drive I typically make to work each day. To save gas and money I'm here. I miss being creative. I have this painting sitting in my room collecting dust because I haven't worked on it since Friday night.

Today I remembered something my 8th grade Geometry teacher said to me. She knew I hated math and I didn't take her class all that seriously so consequently, my grades were suffering. One day after school I'd gotten in a fight with some kid and was sitting in the office waiting for a ride. She noticed me, asked what had happened and I explained it to her. She asked me if I needed any help with Geometry and I explained her my utter disdain for Math. She told me there would be a lot of things in life that I just don't want to do, but I should do them anyway because of their outcome. She got real with me. She went past the babbling of a typical 8th grade teacher and bestowed on me some advice she thought I would benefit from. And I have. So today, I'm gonna keep her in mind. Wish I remembered her name.
