me..my family had planned a family trip to pi for a wedding, another wedding, and a birthday..i didnt want to go cuz i would miss my frends here in jersey..i went to philippines..woah..that wuz sooooo awesome..practically my ENTIRE family wuz there..and thatz nearly IMPOSSIBLE since i have like literally ZILLIONS of cousins..i met some cousins i had never met before..they are the SWEETEST lil girls in the world..soooooo cute..i want daughters just like them..they got me into the powerpuff girls..so then i come back home..damn..no one is around..everyone is gone..EVERYONE..i felt so darned lonely..i juss wanted to go back to pi..even tho i wuz dreamin of comin back to see everyone again..so yeah..i guess this is where something hits me..ALL MY OLDER FRIENDS HAVE LEFT..I HAVE NO ONE TO LOOK UP TO..like u had just read above..MY HEROES HAVE ABANDONED ME..so i go back to school with this new energy..itz not exactly positive anymore..well..some of it is..cuz im the man of the school now..u know..cuz im a senior..and we`re gods..but the rest of it is a sense of loss..cuz..i dont know wut to do with my life..here i am at the end of the road..with the choice of the future..which one to take..left or right?..NO IDEA..so yeah..and u know wut i hate most about the begining of school..finding a lunch table to sit at..so at the begining of the school year..i start sneaking into the already overcrowded underclassmen lunch room (even tho im a senior)..and i sit with my friends..so i get bored with that lunch table and i start goin into this classroom where all my smart friends eat lunch..it wuz nice and quiet..a kid could get his homework dun in there..soon enuff..the underclassmen had to ruin it by overcrowding that sanctuary..so i moved into the senior cafeteria..there wuz an asian table there..i vowed not to sit there..that went to hell the next week and i found myself sitting there..so this kid mumbles sumthing to me about "strengthening the asian pressence by sitting there so that no black kids or white kids would"..i thought to myself "wut the HELL is wrong with this kid?"..i ignored it and sat there for another month..after a while..wut that kid sed to me got to me and i left to find a more interesting group of people i call "friends"..and i did..so the asians start talkin ish about me cuz i abandoned them..well they can go screw themselves..bcuz i know how fake they are..i know EXACTLY how much they talk about each other..im not sayin all of them..but a select few..so yeah..i wuz also a executive officer of FBLA (future business leaders of america)..and well..that kid that sed that comment to me wuz the vice..and..as much as i hated that..i stuck in and did my job..but i cudnt handle it..and quit..i wuz also in a fashion class..yes a fashion class..ill give u a long pause for it to sink into ur head.....ok so yeah..i wuz in a fashion class rite..made some new frends..then..some girl pissed me off SO DAMN MUCH..i had to leave..if i ever see her again..UGH..so yeah..i quit like everything else..hmmm..let me move onto my brother..i have a little brother he is3 yrsyounger than me..many people belive he is older than me..in fact..at our cousin`s wedding the waiter came to our table and went to him going "hey, want a bud pal?"..after my brother refuses he heads to me "hey there, kiddo, would u like a bowl of ice cream?"..wut the hell is that??!!..ugh..so yeah hez a freshman in highschool now..itz mad weird having a younger sibling in the same school as you..i have random freshman comin up to me.."hey you pat`s brother?"..i juss say "yeah" and go on my merry way not even caring who or wut the kid wuz gonna say after that..but some of my frends would come up to me..and they know im a senior..they would go "eric..do u have a older brother in this school?"..im like "umm..hello im a senior..therez nothing older than a senior in highschool"..shows how smart the kids in our school are..huh??..specially my frends..lol..so yeah..a few months ago..my brother applied for a job at the mall..so im thinkin.."nice..the kid has initiative"..but..meanwhile im thinkin "wut the hell is this kid doing..im a bum..i have no job..im older & hez gonna get one before me..oh hell no!..so he went to the interview and got the job..the boss sed they`ll call him wen they want him to work..apparently they never called..the person who hired him quit..and took her papers with her..so a new boss hired some new people to take the place of the people she hired..a month later..i got a job..cuz well..letz face it..i couldnt not do anything..i felt like a jackass juss bein lazy and at home..so yeah..i got a job at toys r us..i got the job just before thanksgivin..the second most busiest time of shopping bsides christmas season..so they fed us at work..woah wuz that sweet free food and gettin paid..i liked work..not to mention the hot coworkers..so yeah..well..after the season..they stopped feedin us..work wuznt that bad still..i had hot coworkers and sweet hours..until..they upped the hours..and..i never see my hot coworker..she never works wen i work..ugh..oh and get this..one time in the break room as i eat my peanut m&m`s and drink my root beer..a hot coworker comes in and i wave..as i put my hand down from waving my wrist tilts over the root beer..ALL OVER MY LAP..so i spent the next 15 minutes of my break in the bathroom up against the hand dryer..like in mr. bean..really embarrassing..thank god no one walked in on me..if a customer had seen me..they would have reported me...i would be known as "the kid humping the dryer"..so yeah..i ignore that certain coworker to whom i wuz waving to now..oh..another thing about work..they put me on from 3pm to 11pm..thatz freakin nuts..8 hours on a school day..is that legal??..letz study the times of day..wake up at 6..leave school at 2:30..thatz 8.5 hours..plus .5 hours to get to work..plus after work shower and homework round 1 hour..so letz go 8 + .5 + 8.5 + 1 = 18 hours..leaving a good 6 for sleep..thatz not rite at all..and get this..since i had that half hour to get to work..i wuz speeding..and guess wut happens wen u speed..u find out ur breaks arent the best in the world..wanna know how i know my brakes suck?..well..i wuz following this jeep cherokee went it just stopped..and..i hit my brakes..apparently the wet leaves on the road act like a bananna peal to car tires..and well..i slipped and hit the damn cherokee..she put her car in park and got out of her car im like "oh^%%^$!!..are you alrite?..is there any damage?".."yes im fine..it looks okay..would u like to look?"..so i look at the two cars..her car..NOT A SCRATCH..my car looks fine..TILL THE NEXT DAY..i notice i have a little dent..and the hood is lop sided..know how i fixed that..i sat on the hood to even it out..dad didnt notice till..the next day..."wut happened eric?".."i dunno dad..maybe someone backed into me"..so i applied to cooper union..CUZ ITZ FREE..and well..i respect my parents for wut they have dun for me and wut they are doing for me..they gave me a computer, a car, a home, clothes, toys, money..etc..and u know wut..i come from the poorest part of philippines known to man..itz like..damn..they musta worked hard as hell to get outta there and into this prosperous country..so yeah bcuz of work..i have no time for college applications..or for my frends..i havent seen my best frend in like months..and i go to school with him..so letz go back to that "quiting thing"..i think im going to hafta quit work..itz way too mcuh..u see the lack of sleep i get from it..and no life to see my frends..im sorry..but thatz insane..not seein ur frends is the first road to suicide..so ill quit..now that i look at it..ive stuck and gone thru some things without quitting..i juss quit the stuff i hated..kinda like dating..dumping the people u cant see urself with...yet tryin out different people to see who or wut suits u best..so..i thought of quitting as something bad..but now i see it as sorting and clean cutting all the excess un-needed things from my life..some of you may read this and go.."WUT THE HELL IS WRONG WIT THIS KID?"..some of you may go "woah"..i hope u guys go for woah..ne ways..im out..hmmm..i guess..i leave it open ended again and say "to be continued.."
