Playing Hookie

Well I am playing hookie today.

I know it's wrong and I am going to hate myself for it if we have a really important assignment due, which I doubt anyway.

Well, my very talented soccer playing cousing are going to play in a soccer game in Weslaco, TX today at 7p.m. and I want to go see them. I have not been to one of their soccer games since they were elementary kids and they are now 16 and 17 yrs old. Wow! How time does go by.

I envy their age. I remember being that age and having that sense of wonder to discover new things. To wonder how things are going to be like and dream of the way I am going to do things.
There were so much to discover and that never stops. We are constantly absorbing new ideas and images. And learning whether we want to or not. Somethings are wondderful and others are horrible. My cousins though they are young have experienced things that most people won't go through. It's admirable that they have found something that they are so passionate about and that they have not fallen into drugs or anything bad. I have tried drugs and alochol but it wasn't for me. I don't see the point. They bore me.
I hope that they learn to deal with things in a better way. My drug of choice was hate and self-loathing. Gosh, how hooked I was. It was consuming me at such a young age. But, all is well, now. I just want to find peace within myself.
Anyway, I am off topic. I hope that everything goes well and that they win. I am extremely proud of them and wish that they become their dreams.

Hey, you want to know how to make God laugh?
