Sniff My Glue
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ever hear the saying "Alcoa can't wait till tomorrow?" If you
|
||
|
|
watched NFL football ten to fifteen years ago you did. (In case
|
||
|
|
you are wondering Alcoa, listed as `AA' on the NYSE, makes
|
||
|
|
aluminum products). I never liked the commercials because I knew
|
||
|
|
tomorrow was Monday and Monday usually brought (High) School.
|
||
|
|
Another day of homework and solitude in a world where I didn't
|
||
|
|
fit in very well. I didn't like to look a day ahead and looking
|
||
|
|
weeks ahead usually meant a report or science project (ugh) would
|
||
|
|
be due. Very rarely did I look forward to going to High School.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Somewhere between Elementary, Junior High, and High School the
|
||
|
|
world changed and left me behind. It became hard to look forward
|
||
|
|
to anything those days especially when tomorrow meant going back
|
||
|
|
to school. Unlike Alcoa I could wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow
|
||
|
|
meant Monday and Monday's suck--Garfield understood.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has been almost ten years since I graduated from high school
|
||
|
|
and it is almost hard for me to believe I'm still around. And
|
||
|
|
get this, I spent five more years getting a college degree! But
|
||
|
|
unlike High School I seemed to fit in a little better at college.
|
||
|
|
Surviving became a bit easier.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Twelve years ago the bell rang telling me it was lunch time. A
|
||
|
|
time which I mostly spent alone, sat outside on a bench and ate
|
||
|
|
my lunch. During my four years in High School I sat inside the
|
||
|
|
cafeteria and ate lunch about five times if that. The lunchroom
|
||
|
|
was a world of noise, confusion, and alien to me. Rain or shine
|
||
|
|
most of my days were spent eating outside until my last two years
|
||
|
|
when I rode my bike (I didn't have a car) home (1 mile) for
|
||
|
|
lunch. Do you think I could "wait for tomorrow?" You sure as
|
||
|
|
shit better believe I could. I dreaded it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So if you can imagine a lot of the last twelve years being
|
||
|
|
similar to that then maybe you can understand me saying "it is
|
||
|
|
almost hard for me to believe I'm still around." This way of
|
||
|
|
life makes one feel like an alien; on the wrong planet, the wrong
|
||
|
|
country, or at the wrong time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These days tomorrow IS my glue. Hope of brighter days, new
|
||
|
|
friendships, experiences, and challenges keep me around to see
|
||
|
|
the days ahead. I don't look too far ahead just enough to keep me
|
||
|
|
moving in the forward direction. Something a simple as a movie,
|
||
|
|
TV program, or package can keep my hopes high for tomorrow.
|
||
|
|
Conferences (Comdex/CES), vacations, finishing a project, and new
|
||
|
|
experiences keep me looking a bit further ahead. It is a simple
|
||
|
|
existence but I don't need or ask for much. I don't expect
|
||
|
|
understanding as something things can't be understood especially
|
||
|
|
to those who are not aliens.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can stop the boo hoo's and bits of sarcasm. I know there are
|
||
|
|
other people who have "real" problems both physical and mental.
|
||
|
|
And maybe that IS the problem with a lot of the world today.
|
||
|
|
Some of us do have problems that can't be seen, measured or even
|
||
|
|
understood yet we are the ones written off and alienated. This
|
||
|
|
is who I am to accept or ignore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe you can smell it now? I'm talking about my glue. It keeps
|
||
|
|
me together, surviving. And surviving is winning for those of us
|
||
|
|
who are aliens.
