All Day Day Light

Happy Summer Solstice, aka the first official day of summer! With spring behind me (past), the summer just officially beginning (present), and the rest of my life ahead of me (future), now seems like a good time to make a list of sorts, I suppose.

Past:

I miss living in the Village 10-D. I miss being able to walk out of my bedroom and into Shawn's to talk about complete nonsense or jokingly insult one another. I miss Alan yelling to me across the room to show me a youtube video he was amused by. I miss Brian purposely blasting awful music so it would get stuck in everyone's heads. I miss living in the same apartment complex as friends too. I miss hanging out and talking with Mark in his common room on a summery day with music blasting and the front door wide open. I miss lying on Mike's bed late at night with good company when all problems would be forgotten and all we knew was love. Hell, I even miss Chris Scaffa giving me an angry look every time I was in his suite. I miss our Screaming Libra parties and all our friends who would come visit us. I miss Chris coming over to chill even if it was just to watch me play Kingdom Hearts or watch Dexter or drink during a ridiculous movie like Donkey Punch. I miss Jen and EZ coming over to play drinking games in which one of us ends up spiking a vaccuum. I miss watching a random episode of Seinfeld or a random movie like Richie Rich with Chelsea. I miss taking pictures at parties with Michelle. I miss spreading lies about Casey stealing car hood ornaments. I miss talking with Tehila about being on the same wavelength. I miss getting excited for Applebees and diner trips with Kim. I miss dancing around the suite with Emily. I miss getting drunk on wednesday nights in the Fall and monday nights in the Spring. I miss constant sing-a-longs and freestyling inappropriate lyrics. I miss the simple things.

Present:

I am going to "beat the clock". I am going to the beach (I need beach friends... who wants to join?). I am going to more free concerts (The Morning Benders and Freelance Whales were awesome and I had an amazing time spending the day with good company at Governors Island, and would do a free concert again in a heartbeat). I am going to open up more to people. I am going to make the most of every weekend.

Future:

I want a long-term job. I want a keytar. I want a bike (so I can go on rides again throughout parks and farmland in Colts Neck and visit Delicious Orchards and Laird's Distillery). I want a new car (one that actually works). I want a new Apple computer. I want a working GPS. I want to start working out. I want to go on a vacation or another cruise. I want to eventually get my own apartment with friends. I want to stay young for as long as humanly possible.

I'm not sure what the point of this was.
