Exactly, that’s what I’m feeling about college. The best thing for me about VCU is that it’s an arts school, so there’s going to be interesting stuff going on artistically (music, whatever). That whole scene element is why I’m there as opposed to anywhere else.

Think that sentiment is spot on, dawg. I felt that way when I went. But life is way different than it was in 1979, and being able to stay emotionally connected to the people you care about required expensive phone calls or writing a letter. Yes, with a stamp.

Anachronistic, yes, but the point is that having an anchor to home is as simple as an IM, an email, a video chat, and it is much more meaningful and valuable than you might think. And having that anchor is the ideal springboard to reinvention, since you always have people you care about to communicate with.

Godspeed, son. Go kill ‘em, Joe…

Yeah, it’s a second chance for reinvention. That’s how I like to think about it. I just hope I can live up to and beyond the ranks of my high school persona. I’ll call you by your first name, Although nicknames are one of my guilty pleasures.

This is the truth. I’m moving six hours away from home, and there’s no doubt I fucked around a ton when I was in my home town, not doing things when they needed to be done, but hey, I get a new shot. Plus people will actually call me by my first name, which is a unique experience.
