That I’m Feelin.

I want to go to Europe in ’11, but I’m gonna need help getting there. If you want to donate money to help cover my travel expenses, that would be pretty damn cool of you. In return for your donation I will post updates of my travels on drewvis.com so you can travel with me, so to speak. If it ends up that I’m unable to make it on my travels, any and all money donated to me will be turned around and given to the Andy Kotowicz Family Foundation.

I’ve mentioned this before in a couple of posts, but now that I have extra time to think about things (having no tv now has been kind of nice) I’ve realized it more. I’m not a big fan of people that are friends only when it benefits them. Not sure if it’s the way I was brought up, but I tend to make sure others are taken care of before I take care of myself. I like to try and help out as much as I can and I think more and more people are taking advantage of that now a days and don’t return the favor. And I’m not talking just towards me, but in general. Everyone is getting more and more about them and less about others around em. I saw younger generation come in and expect everything to be handed to them even though the item they were looking for was right behind them. Maybe I’m just getting “old” but don’t think that’s the case. I think a lot of it has to do with the way we as Americans look at the world. Maybe not all of us, but at least the majority. Everything needs to be bigger, faster and it needs to be done yesterday. I’m guilty of that where if I want something I want it now, but I’ve come to enjoy the things I have and really go back and look what I do have. Moving helps cause you get to clean a bunch of stuff out and I’ve been able to bring everything I own down to fit in one room and I’m completely happy with that. To get back with my original train of though, folks who only come around when it benefits them bug me. Every time someone wants to hang out I’m all for it, when I want to hang out they’re staying in yet end up going out. Sad thing is, I keep getting drawn back in. It’s a curse really.

The good thing is I’m enjoying everything I have going on right now. I dig the new place, minus not having a tv, and I think Netflix is the best thing ever. Yeah, I finally signed up for the streaming option and I’ve been watching movies I’ve wanted to see but didn’t want to spend the money to rent em all. On top of it all, I’m way broke right now but I have everything I need. Moving out is teaching me to shop smarter and not buying things I want, but don’t really need. If after a month or so I still need it then I can get it. This will lead to me being able to save money for a trip to Europe like I’ve wanted to do for so long. I want to try and do a big trip once a year while I still can. If everyone else could learn the way I am now I think this recession and everything else would be over. Think long term rather than right now.

Now this is a hit.
