dos semanas hasta españa

two more weeks and i will officially have a madrid address. i'm excited/scared...both extremes at the same time...but moreover i'm ready to go. this is something i've wanted to do for a long time...live in europe, backpack through it, attending a spanish university; so when i return i will speaking spanish like no other...you think i have skills now, just give me three months. i've been idle the past months and i fell like real living is starting now....spain, europe; then i come home to move into my own place, with only two more years until a degree in communications and one in spanish. i cant believe this shit...and its goin to go by so fast. who knows what will happen after that~grad school in the city while livin in a nice posh apartment in lincoln park because i have the most kick-ass-straight-out-of-college-high-paying-job. ha, i can dream, right? well, i am very content with the way things are now and the direction they're heading. and i've never really had that feeling. but i know that everything will come together. karma baby. the cosmos is in order.

two things;

1. fuck verizon wireless. if you are not yet connected to the cellular world of telecommunications, DO NOT use verizon. naughti and nik had the sense to get out when their contract was up. why didnt i? who the hell knows; i'm kicking myself now. they charge you for phone calls that a) you did not make and b) were incoming calls. normally incoming calls simply take minutes off your plan. they should not be accumulating all these other fees. i'm going today to cut that shit off. i will not be returning to their service when i get back in the summer. i'll show verizon and their horribly overrated not to mention incessantly annoying "can you hear me now?" muse where they can shove their local and national calling plans. fuckers. sorry, so my cell will no longer be in service. call la casa. or...

2. drop me an email at my school account. after having the same email since i was, god, 15...the ridiculous amount of junk mail that accumulates each day is unbelieveable. when i return this summer i'll have a new hotmail account...my other hotmail address will be good for the next two weeks if you wish to send fanmail, loveletters, freewrites, essays, poems, links to good shit on the net, comments&suggestions, hatemail, anonymous stalker letters, threats, and/or just a line to say hello; please do. mail is fun. but after that the school address is what i will be checking in spain.and even then send lots of mail. no forwards unless they're good shit and worth my time. right before i leave i'll post my address and phone number in spain.

ok, i lied, three things...i really must be out of the loop because the city of chicago seems to have this unwritten law book of when and where you are allowed to park. personally; i think they probably make up the rules as they go or whenever they feel compelled, such as they dont like the look of the car(poor shirly; she never did anything to anybody). the city of chicago is a money hungry vulture that leeches off my bank account. off of lakeshore a quarter only gives you five minutes of parking? so they make you pay out the ass for parking and then give you a fifty dollar ticket cuz you're FIVE minuetes late getting back to your car. fucking city. sitting in rush hour traffic for two hours doesnt help either.*

currently listening to: Sorry About Dresden; On Contradiction
currently reading: Fast Food Nation...i know; i'm a slow reader. ADD is a contributing factor. it is a very interesting book and i do recommend it. i plan on finishing that before i leave at which point i will begin a book that was highly recommended to me from many sources; the collosal novel Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace; former professor at ISU. it may take me years to finish it, given my aformentioned reading abilities, but i shall do it.

*here i must note that while i did list some of the mishaps of the city; i really do enjoy taking trips there for plenty of reasons. this rant and rave was purely out sympathy for my quickly depleeting bank account.
