HA HA... Fun fun fun.

First, the lawyer and bluefin thing. No support for the bluefin thing. No one wanted to be on the team. The plan was suicidal enough with 5 people, I'm not about to do it alone.

Now becoming a lawyer. I'm still interested in that. The only thing is, it takes money. I know you said you didn't want me mentioning this, but here we go. I think it will let you into my point of view a little better. Because of my disorder, I haven't had much of a social life for the past 6 years. That's part of middle school and all of highschool. During those times, even though I was rather popular, I didn't go out once. Not once. Now that I'm on medication, I feel like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have my freedom and I like it. I realize I can never have those 6 years back. I'm just enjoying life right now. 6 years doesn't seem like much to you. But that's 1/3 of my life.

Now you guys about the boat driving. Of course there's more to it than what I said. We aren't talking about sailing a 75 foot yacht with twin cats in it. It's a simple 19 foot boat. It's really not too hard. Just pay attention and you'll be fine.

Mike, let's not be a wise guy here although that was rather funny.

Jaiem, insurance rates are high because people don't drive right. Kids these days don't have respect for anything, least not automobiles. I'm being raised by 2 great drivers that have probably only gotten 1 ticket in the nearly 40 years they have been driving. You know, when people pick up a gun, they say, "Hey I have a gun. It shoots bullets and kills things." but when they get into the car they say to themselves, "I'm in a car, it drives me from point a to point b." They totally neglect the fact that they driving a deadly weapon. Because I view a car differently than most people, I think that makes me a better driver.

With the gas prices the way they are, I doubt I'll be up there any time soon. Plus, wait until I have my own vehicle. I just can't take off in one of my parent's cars for a weekend.
