leaving coalinga
hello everyone, finally i'm back. i always apologize for not updating my journal, sorry! ok anyways so summer is going ok. i've had my 2 weeks of relaxation, which were hardly that, and now i'm ready to get back to work. the Coalinga Huron Avenal House at UC Berkeley is starting soon in a few weeks. i'm actually quite nervous about the whole ordeal, the only thing i know is that i'm going to take valuable lessons in life from the kids enrolled in ATDP from the central valley. it'll probably be more like babysitting than anything else, because most of the kids there don't really act their age, and i know from past experiences. i'll admit, when i was in CHAH, i didn't act my age. let's just hope that i don't end up throwing one of the kids off the golden gate or something.
well if you wanna know how coalinga is treating me, for those who haven't visited my glorious desert haven. it's still hitting the hundreds on the thermometers; everyone is still gossiping, i'm beginning to wonder if the shit i smell is actually from the cows at the harris feed lot or from people's mouths constantly ranting and raving about the latest coalinga news, or what trash to talk about certain people or groups. it's amazing how conservative and closed-minded people can actually be. so i'm going back to berkeley tomorrow with a sense of relief. being immersed in this republican, conservative hell hole has made me appreciate berkeley's liberal aura.
oh ya, i did see matrix 2 and x2. i must admit, both were awesome. and YES, i am going to watch 2fast2furious pretty soon. i'm broke right now but hopefully i'll get some green soon. i owe my little bro a trip to the movies. so call me a groupie or whatever but i'm going to sit through that movie and i know i'm going to like it. oh ya, i also rented this one movie called, "love liza". it was one of the weirdest movies i've ever seen. i recommend it though, it kinda seemed long and drawn out but that is due to a lack of dialogue among the characters but if you've ever lost anyone of great value to you, i highly recommend it. don't do what he does, but just watch it, i know it will help.
soooo, what else is new??? i can't really think of anything else right now. does anyone have a good topic for me to discuss. it's been a while since i've thought of a good topic to discuss. man i feel so laaaaaaazzzzzzy. i guess coalinga does that to people. the hot-weather and tiny size of my city could make people immobile. if i could compare coalinga to anything it would be a venus fly trap. those little plants that eat flies. coalinga is like that in a way. both are very slow, nothing ever happens. the venus fly trap just sits there and waits for the fly. then when a fly finally enters, the plant's sticky stuff traps the fly and the venus fly trap slowly but surely closes like a clam, and doesn't open back up until the remains of its prey that are indigestable are all that are left of the fly. i guess coalinga has done that to many, many get stuck in coalinga's "sticky stuff" and never let go or never escape. then they are just left here to slowly wither into the typical coalinga resident. it's quite sad actually, but i guess evolution takes its course. only the strong survive.
ok i guess i'll hit you guys up again when i get back to berkeley. wish me luck, pray that i don't explode until tomorrow. peace! |
