A Hobo's tale by Rambley Dave:
Well, ok, so the title lies, I am not broke, but I did make a journey as you have read about. My current journey however consists of learning how ignorant I am about myself. There are many lies we tell ourselves about ourselves to get by. You know, that we are good people, and that things will work out and so on. I am learning that my mouth (or in this case my fingers) can move faster than my head. I am also learning that I need to get over my default assumption that I am always right, and start opening my ears to what others are saying. It sounds like it will be hard, and it probably will. Only time will tell if I succeed.
When it comes to moving on towards that future of mine, I have taken the second step of many towards convincing myself that I am growing up. A while ago I talked about my plans to subconsciously convince myself that I am growing up by changing my attire. I started with a Fedora, quite stylish if I do say so myself, and think I'll use my olive drab coat to match (ok, so the hat is brown, but it goes well with green... though I cant see green, so I guess this is just one more of those lies to self...Oh yeah, let me tell you a truth dear reader, I am colorblind. I inherited a family gene which has deformed one of my cone cells in my eyes. My brain is confused by the color green, I can see it, but its shades make it look gray-scale... Oh, also I can't spell to save my life, but luckily I have faithful editors, and programs at my disposal to help mask this.) Where was I... Oh so today I bought a new bag... Or basically my 'man purse'. It is a laptop bag which is to replace my old 'bag of tricks' from college. Its a lot smaller, sleeker, and has leather which is always cool and professional looking. I am now one more step closer to convincing myself that I am a grownup (but I will never stop believing in fairy tales).
