Phenom is on a distinguished road
Meh, currently thinking on what to do. (where to go.... and a rant.)

Choices... Go to Atlanta for college, join the navy, join the air force.

I've always had suspisions in joining anything dealing with the military because I never did want to risk my life for it. I have (had) a fear of being drafted, called to war and stuff.

I've never had a fear of boats, but I don't trust planes. (Never been on an airplane before.) All sorts of superstitions about planes... My family are planning to go to Florida sometime in September. And that would be my first experience in flying, but that's as far as it goes. All they do is plan things and never really execute it. Mainly because everybody is busy. (For the most part it's all talk and no action) But when looking at these offers that the navy and air force dishes out, it becomes really tempting. And then my cousin is in the air force, so he could probably get me in or something.

As far as Atlanta goes. My plan is if I go, to ask my sister's friend mother if I could use her address so I don't have to pay the high tuition price for living out of state. But that might backfire seeing how I don't know if she'll let me stay there until I get situated and whatnot. And then I don't know anybody else that lives there. Heck, I don't know anybody that lives out of the state of Michigan.

All I know is that I'm trying to get out of Michigan. This state is getting more stupid as each day come along. Not to mention that Michigan is in an all time low when it comes to jobs. We're losing jobs, and when they say that we have new jobs available, no one is getting hired. Cost of living is getting stupid. (And they're closing majority of the public schools. Tryign to over crowd charter schools... It's getting pretty hecked here.) We would move out the state now, but had to file for bankruptcy, which seems to have put us in a deeper bind than what we were already in.

Feels good to get that off my chest.
