Kicking the Habit

Do you have tendencies or habits that aren't healthy?

I sure do. I spit.

Shit's nasty.

I started spitting when I was 8 years old. I played baseball at the local Little League and played in tournaments and all-star teams and such.

Baseball is a dry, dry sport. There's dirt and chalk all over the place, and dust gets kicked up. You get thirsty, and it gets hot out there, in 50/50 cotton-polyester pants and a mesh jersey. It's even hot to me today.

That's when I started spitting-- as a tiny little baseball player.
I used to eat sunflower seeds like they were vital for life. I couldn't get enough of them.
But sunflower seeds need to be spit out after you get the shell separated.
So I spat that shit out.
One thing led to another and I was spitting so much, my mouth was always dry.

What's the best thing to do when your mouth feels uncomfortable?
Spit more.

You see where this is going?

Now I spit all over the place. Not around ladies, as best as I can, but I just spit on accident anyways.
After I pee, walking by a trash can, playing baseball, whatever.

"Shit's nasty."

Yes. Shit's nasty.

That's my bad habit. That and nailbiting. Whatever. 

I'm going to stop spitting. I'll take it one day at a time and hopefully, kick it. 

What are your bad habits? 

Forgot my lunch today

No worries. Still had a good day.
So far at least.

It's my girlfriend's birthday and I have yet to get her anything.
I have homework due and I have yet to do it.

You know what they say-

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeniors

In other news, there's plenty of things I have been up to: like sleeping, playing frisbee and eating.

"Play frisbee everyday"

Off to get some work done in any fashion.

But I leave with a question!

Would you rather go bald and have lots of body hair, or have too much facial hair and zero body hair?

How can I live the best?

There's one laugh for today.
This kind of crap on facebook bugs me. I see it all the time and deliberately add people that are drama prone for free laughs and such. My friends and I love to be human and laugh at other peoples' expense because god damnit, I don't even care.

Today I saw a counselor to talk about my future. He said stick with school and don't dick around, and short of "don't die" that's about the most sound advice anybody has ever told me. He doesn't beat around the bush.

"What's the best way that I can live my life?"
"Just don't die."
"Shit man, thanks."

I leave you with the world's greatest photobomb.

Until next time.

I'm almost out of here

Second semester senior year. When did I grow up?
Or am I grown up?
When is anyone grown up?
I sure don't feel like it. But coaches, teachers, adults and family look at me like I've gotta have a plan.
Dude, I don't have a plan.

What the hell is going to happen? I'm stuck at home for at most two years and then it's off to real college, to get a degree and a real job and a real life and oh lordy when does real life start?
