It’s 6:49 as I type this. I am very tired. I am very hungry. I feel out of it because I smoked weed last night. A typical time in the place I call 20swasteland. I (as you avid readers know) have no job currently (except a little weekend gig) so I don’t really have much to do on the weekdays. Lately I’ve been trying to get my stuff in order, this is truly what the plight of the 20 something is. You try hard to keep healthy, and sane whilst figuring out what to do with your life. SIDE NOTE: for those who read last weeks article about finding your career, I’m still stumped I’ll let you know what’s up when I figure shit out. You’ll be the first I tell.

So while you spend your days pondering what real people do, you try to keep in shape. I myself am always trying to lose weight. This is probably because I gained 20 pounds shortly after graduating college. Just an extra “fuck you” from the world as my life spiraled out of control. So I am currently watching my diet strictly, this tends to be a problem because me, and a lot of the people around me enjoy weed. The munchies can be a total diet killer, my plan usually is to stay strong and drink a lot of coffee, or tea, which I’m having as I write this. I’m also trying to not smoke as much because I’ve found smoking everyday really makes you into a loser. I enjoy weed a lot, and I am totally for it being legal and stuff, but whenever I smoke it too much I get all fuzzy and burnt even when not high. I also get lazy and less creative. But worst of all is when I smoke too much I’m less sharp, and thus less successful with the ladies. That would be a bad thing. Especially because I’m not Don Juan when I’m sober either.

A healthy sleep schedule is so hard to maintain when you have no job because there’s no time you need to get up by. You can sleep in every day; it’s like perpetual summer. This also makes you lazy, and makes you feel useless because this feels like the time of life you should be working hard but aren’t. My dream is that some point soon I get a job or some source of meaning in my life and I can get back on a healthy sleep pattern, until then it’s going to be a life of writing my articles right before passing out at 7am this way I don’t get Drew (my editor) mad at me for getting my work in at 5pm, which is definitely when I’m going to be waking up tomorrow, or today.
