For those of you who have not seen me recently, I have been letting my facial hair go. No, nothing seriously crazy momumentally estonishing, but yea, it's been 3 or 4 weeks, and the longest is probably around 1 cm. It's growing in the goatee area, just like a good east asian man's beard should be.
Anyways, the point is, it's really weird, seeing myself with facial hair. It makes me realize how old I really am. I'm freaking 17, that's.... older than i feel. I dunno, I still feel like I should be in my beginning, in the mind set that I'm becoming the person I will be, and that I still have lots of time.
But now, when I look at it (the goatee too), maybe it's already time. Maybe I'm already almost there. Maybe it's almost too late to change. Maybe it IS too late to change.
I remember back when i was 11 or 12, I played an RPG. And the main character starts out at 21 with certain skills that i chose. And I felt that that was reasonable, the number of skills he had, the traits he had. In a way, I kinda made my role model, I made exactly the kinda guy i wanted to be at 21.
Looking back at that, I'm only 3.5 years from being 21. Do I match up with who I thought i needed to be to be successful in my adventure? Will life be an adventure at all? Heck, do I want an adventure? choices, choices...

Woot, it works. I brought back the broken earphones from the band room that was going to get thrown out. They weren't actually proken, the chords were snapped and the head dissapeared. this is one of those sweet cushioned big earphones that they used for their keyboards, so they originally come with those big heads. Well, I knew i had a broken earphone at home, and i knew that the theory behind earphones is really simple, so I was sure that after some snipping and soldiering, it'd be compatible.
And so I did, now I'm using these sweet earphones, plugged into my comp, with excellent sound quality.
I like repairing things a lot. You see, unless I am creating art, I'd much rather repair than create, philosophically. Just a thought, for example my model airplane, took a loads of time to make. Then I flew it, and crashed it a few times, and then got tired of it. So now I feel guilty for getting the materials and resources to make it. On the other hand, the earphones were broken, and resources were already spent, and waste was a doom to come. Fixing them makes me feel great, cause even if I don't use it, and get tired of it, I have nothing to feel guilty for, because I still increased it's value, and made the world a better place...(relatively..., well, at least compared to making model airplanes that u don't fly)
