back to school


well it is not the same when you are all grown up, age-related. there is no reason to go out and buy new clothes, get a new binder, back pack, pair of shoes, levi's, and so on down the copied list that was sent out at the beginning of august for all to comply with. they you get to high school and the big ol cascade and there is just a matter of getting what you need. some new kicks, a couple of shirts and so on. well now what. school kids are going back but the only ones that are going out to that brick structure.
maybe i was weird but i always enjoyed going back to school to see everyone. there was a strange feeling that came over me toward the end of july and the beginning of august as preparation was nearing to get back to the learning. there are times that i wish that i was in school now days because life was a lot easier when all you had to worry about was homework and paying rent. there was nothing else. no worries. then as school came to an end i was in a hurry to leave the island. now i wish that i were back there. i guess we are never satisfied with what we have and what we want. there is always going to be something bigger and better out there for us to strive for. it is when we are complacent, that is when we should start wondering.

that looks just like the short bus that those cloverdale kids rode to school.
