Darrell's Story

Life Hmm, where to start? Right now I am living in my own apartment. It feels nice to have a little peace and quiet. I'm also working full time on a graveyard shift to afford my nice apartment and new car. The new car came when I rolled my last vehicle. Nothing serious happend to me. Soon one of the old mines will be opening up and if it does I'm hoping to get a new job there. You might think I'm crazy but if you knew how important it is to my home town then you would understand. Other than that I've been trying to keep myself busy and enjoy life as much as I can! School Heh, School. Only a faint memory in the deepest corner of my mind. Those were some of my fondest momories, alas. I can still remember my first day (somehow.) Walking into that strange new world bigger than the whole of my life to that point. But with a table spoon of memzmorized, cup of uncertainty, and a pintch of hope, it was the right mixture for a great first experience. Starting anew and fresh in a place where no one knew me, except my aunt whom I was not only attending school with but a fellow classmate, felt good. A new gate stood before me upon entering that main building, and Ashley? She was the gatekeeper. I met many people who would be my friends for the time being. The one and only (major) thing I regret, though, is not doing anything with them outside of school. Had I not lived with my grandparents, the "almighty tyrents," I might of had a normal posative experience. Either that or if my car hadn't blown up on me the week before I moved to Utah. The things I miss most are my friends. They took me in hands down. That couldn't have gone better if I planned it. Well truth is that it could have gone better if I took a little more initiative rather than just accepting the fact that I wasn't going to be around for long. Now, it is my mind that twists and bends at the posabilities if I, in fact, had stayed. What would my relationships be like if I tried to get in closer to them? Could they have been life-long friends or would I have ultimately fallen into the dark whole that had partially swollowed me? From quirky...Expand for more
girls that constantly flurted with me to those who waited until the day before I graduated, and were already invloved with some, to tell me that they had a crush on me when they first met me. From crazy, abnoxiouse, gothic, counterparts to those obsessed with beating the crap out of each other for fun. These were my friends. The Stoner Hall in which I came to understand its name, was anything but. The real stoners were never even there. They were always, well, getting stoned. Aghh, fond memories indeed. The teachers also made it a great experience. Whether they were playing Bob Dylan songs on the guitar to teach us about english or telling us to watch movies to show us why they believed in aliens, they were among the many piers I look up to. Yes, those were the days. Those were the days. College I'm not so sure I want to revisit my college days. I don't want to see all the stupid things that I did. Other than that I didn't go to college for long before deciding that it's not for me, or at least at this time. If you are wondering witch college I went to, I attended the Art Institute of Colorado. I wasn't all it was cracked out to be I found out. Living in the dorms was like being back in preschool. You know running around screaming like a maniac and destroying everything you could because your parents weren't there to tell you not to. Well I wasn't like that but most of the madhouse was. This made Animal House look like a joke, the dorms did. Then instead of spending quality time working on the things you really wanted to learn you have to spend half of your years relearing everything you just learned in high school and hardly touching base with what you need to know for your profession. Either that or it's just me that's thinking. Either way I'm thinking about someday returning to college when something promessing comes my way. Workplace This is so embaressing. I can't believe I'm about to tell you what it is I do for my living. I'm currently working at Wal-Mart. Yes; disgusting, I know, but the pay is decent enough to pay my bills. Thus another reason why I'm hoping that Climax reopens.
