well, it's finally happening. i've officially been hit by the "Real World" truck. the real world, where even your parents dont give a shit about you, and tell you the day after your birthday that your getting kicked out. the world where one minute, you're surrounded by people who say they love you, and the next, they throw your ass out on the street. the world where you finally learn to open your heart to someone, and offer to spend you're life with them, only to have your heart stomped on because you couldnt tell that she was really just a cheap, lying whore.

now, in reading that last paragraph, you're probably thinking "oh god, another of the poet's piss and moan entries..." and if you are thinking that, then fuck you. i'm not writing this to bitch about how shitty my life is, and then do nothing about it. that time is over. i'm going to take the innitiative to better myself, and hopefully start a new life.

on Saturday, i'm enlisting in the navy, and training hopefully in Communications. after my service, i'm going back to college to earn my Bachelor's. then, i hope to begin a career in Law Enforcement. with any luck, i'll have a career by the time i'm 28. and i'll be making good money.

for those of you who honestly care, and wish to keep in contact with me while i'm at boot camp, send me a private note, or and e-mail (The_Vampire_Kristopher@yahoo.com) with you're address, and i'll write to you every chance i get.

Cheers and best wishes (to those who deserve it),

~~~The Poet (Mitch Zeider)
