Here's a boat.

An island in and of yourself

you would like to fancy that as truth, although seemingly so

we both know, at best, it's rhetoric you read in the back of a magazine you happen to come upon by chance while waiting for your shrink appointment.

I appreciate your valiant efforts to remain sick and implementing a never ending system of foraging for sympathy in the most obvious of ways to everyone but you.
You don't need it...................
it's already there.

I leave the responsibility of widening the wake a bit in your qualified hands. Do yourself a solid and make a dreamer proud, one close to you.
You may not be able to again, those expectations are fierce and fleeting.
Who's to say you'll live up to it all?

Brookdale's Isecure Elite and Dresses I will take your life for.

So I have been "cordially" (Brookdale's paper bull) to attend some scholarship soiree that is mandatory dress up accompanied by individual photos of you and said donors. Isn't this a little fucking garish? I mean, if you were a person that was in the position to dole out scholarships, wouldn't you want to never meet the recipient, much less have a public and well documented display of ego inflating?!
If this was me, the donor, I would want to NEVER meet the person I had helped. I would feel that they would feel obligated to provide some false sense of smoke blowing just to appease me and my bunches of dollars that helped poor little down trodden you. I believe it to be bollocks and do not think I am wrong in this. To make matters worse, there is a looming sense of, if you DON'T go, your future scholarships may hang in the balance. You are also required throughout the year to write these brave chumps thank you letters in which in the initial notification letter, they inform you that if you fail to produce this "thank you" letter, your future scholarships will be in jeopardy. WTF?
I find this all to be unbelievable. Is the esteem of these insecure donors as such that they require this amount of validation on a public level? How about your thank you is my continued commitment to getting good grades and being a constant on the Dean's List? I am whipping up a death in the family as we speak, as to avoid this shit show. But the man may con me into the carrot , being as how said carrot has been replaced with possible scholarship loot. Mother fuckers. Stay tuned.

It's Never as Quite as you Thought it would Be.
