"I plan on being a college drop out in two years."...."I'm not sure that's something your supposed to plan dude."

College is now 46 days away and in light of its nearing presence I've been considering what it's going to take to survive. A list of essential items to be sent off with. Now I'm not exactly planning on being completely destitute or necessarily limited to a bare minimum life style (although it's definitely within the realm of possibility), but I've recently read Into The Wild and I watch a lot of survival shows on Discovery Channel (as well as McGyver) so I like to entertain fantasies of a survivalist lifestyle. Things seem cooler that way. If I think of New York City as a type of concrete jungle, me against its elements, my life becomes that much more interesting. This is what I have thus far.

Non Munchies:


computer- (to carry with me in case I need to look up ways to survive without technology, ex. camping in central park)

moleskine notebook- (so I can look contemplative and poetic at will, especially when dining at hip coffee shops)

tactful assortment of smart sounding books I've never read- (to make my roommates and those who frequent my apartment think I'm a lot smarter than I am)

hammock- (just really want one)

ipod- (to carry on me with prerecorded positions on various political and world issues so I can cheat when conversing with my peers. also music)

lay z boy recliner- ( I suspect it will transcend the generational gaps indefinitely)

-donate at will.

news bulletin:

-Just watched Across The Universe. Besides being an awesome movie, it's one of those movies that effectively makes smoking look cool: currently wishing my asthmatic lungs were infallibly withstanding so I could be a paint flinging, chain smoking, scarf wearing, free spirited artist.

-Recently burned some cash at Denny's: looking forward to being old so I can qualify for the senior discounted meals on the last page of the menu. How righteous it will be.

-Penn State is right now hosting the largest tournament in the state for high school girl basketball players: currently terrified of a all high school girl basketball players... it's just not what you'd expect.
