(Very brief thoughts on the attacks in Paris, France, and other attacks around the world as a bit of an intro)
What's up beautiful people, its me again, your secret lover. A lot has happened in the world since the last time I conversed with you guys. I am currently watching France vs. England in an international friendly soccer match, and the game is being played at Wembley stadium in England, but you wouldn't know it by looking around the stadium. The amount of support and prayer and love the world gives a grieving city or country following a terrorist attack or disaster in general is truly unbelievable, and this soccer match is a perfect example. We as the overall human population embrace the people who were affected by whichever tragedy has occurred during that time, and that really is amazing to me. I myself have never been to Paris, never even thought about going really, but I still feel some sort of connection during this time of grieving. And I think its simply because of the fact that I am indeed a citizen of planet earth, and regardless of what language you speak or what nationality you are, you should not, in any circumstance, have to go through what the people of Paris have had to go through. (This applies to any sort of natural disaster or attack all around the world, not just this tragedy in Paris. I thought that would go without saying but I've seen way too many people on Facebook or twitter attack the general public for only showing support to the people of Paris, and not the people of Mexico, Kenya, Russia, and many other countries). Thought I should address that subject real quick since it has been so relevant, so that's my very brief, very general thoughts on the terror attacks in Paris. I also ask that you continue to keep the people of France as well as the people affected by the other tragedy's around the world in your thoughts and prayers for longer than just a couple of days, seeing as most of us usually forget about what had happened a week after the event, myself included!
Okay, before I dive into any other hot topics of conversation, I want to give a quick shout out to the aforementioned Sausage squad. For all 64 and a half stupid people who for some really stupid reason will read this, I'm sure at least 55 of you will have no idea who or what the sausage squad is. Like I mentioned in my first blog post, I spent my first two years of college playing baseball at a junior college down in Waco, TX (also advised you to never go to Waco if you don't have to, which is ironic because I am indeed road-tripping down to Waco this weekend, but for very good reason) and during my time spent on the baseball field, in class (very rarely), or at the infamous duplexes in China Spring (yeah, I also had never heard of it in my life before I was forced to live there) I made some, as soft as it may sound, truly unbreakable friendships, and naturally a group text emerged with all the coolest cats, and this group text was named (if I recall correctly, by yours truly) The Sausage squad. The squad includes the OG's first and foremost: Myself, Nate Bertness, Jon Tauzin, Will Fox, Brandon Grudzielanek, Jack Finnegan, Kirby Mcguire, and last and in this case also least, Mason George. Then we wisely decided to add two sophomores who are still at Mclennan: Noah Mcgowan and Tucker 'tuck unk unk' Johnson. Promised the fellas id give em a quick shout out so there it is, see you guys this weekend.
Alright, back to stuff you guys can actually possibly relate to. Being as it is my junior year of college, you'd think that I would kind of have somewhat of an idea of what I might want to do with my life, right? All my friends are lining up summer internships, being productive in actually networking and setting up relationships that could possibly benefit them in the future. Good for them, that's awesome, of course. But I, on the other hand, really haven't been doing anything to help secure my future in any way, and to be quite honest, that scares the living shit out of me. I know one things for certain, I want to make a lot of money (you're probably saying "yeah no shit, everyone wants to do that" and you're probably 100% correct). But, right now, my mindset is that I really don't care what it is I do, as long as I'm making lots of money. My mom has constantly told me, ever since I was a young kid, that I better have a job that pays really well when I'm older because I have really expensive taste. And (like she usually is) she is absolutely right. I know people always say that you want to have a job that you love, cause that way you wont work a day in your life. But for me, I think I would rather have a job that I hate, but it pays really well. Then eventually I can build my empire financially and chuck up the deuces on that p.o.s. job and go do something that I actually enjoy, even if it doesn't pay as well. I dunno, that's just kinda my mindset at the current moment. Who knows tho, I could have a revelation and completely scratch everything I just said and get super hippy and down to earth and work for a nonprofit and make $30,000 a year but absolutely love what I do and not have a care in the world....but I'm pretty confident that wont happen. Hopefully I'm not the only one who is super fucking scared of the future, and I don't think I am, but if I am indeed alone in that feeling, then feel free to call me a whiny baby and absolutely trash myself and everything I believe in because you for sure deserve that right. (P.s. if you do feel like trashing me and everything I believe in try to keep it kinda not that harsh cause like I mentioned in my first blog post I'm pretty sensitive and will probably end up crying so only make me cry a little not like a swimming pools worth of tears but like a little creek you find in your backyards worth except instead of dirty mud water its actually my tears that you produced in a sense. Have fun floating you paper boat down my river of tears you assholes).
If you aren't already, be sure to follow me on twitter @Will_jenkins. I try really hard to be funny on there and I often cook up what I think are pure gold tweets but they usually end up getting like 3 favorites and maybe a retweet if I'm lucky so what do I know. Also, my favorite tweeter in the entire universe (other than myself obviously) hands down is @SheaSerrano. So if you aren't already following him, then I highly suggest doing that as well. Other than that, I really have nothing else for you guys. Hopefully me getting somewhat serious with y'all wasn't a complete turn-off, and y'all will be back for more in the near future. In the mean time, I'm gonna go ball out on FIFA when in reality I should be studying for a test I have on thursday....oops. Until next time, yall be sure to keep it 8 more than 92 with everyone, and stay golden. I love you all, I would more than likely date you all, and I sure as hell miss you all.
P.S. Once again, if you actually read all the way up to this point then wow you are my favorite person on earth also you are beautiful also I'm in love with you surprise. If for some reason you enjoy me writing about stuff then be sure to tell your friends/retweet me/shoot me a note expressing your love for me, don't be shy. Want to shout out my mom real quick cause shes amazing and I love her dearly and cant thank her enough for the support she gives me, shout out MEJ. Also cant forget about MOJ, love you dad sorry I missed you and moms 35th wedding anniversary in Ausitn because I went to get drunk in Oxford, MS. I know I'm a piece of shit son please forgive me I'll take you to the movies some day and make it up to you (and when I say take you to the movies really like I'll just drive your badass BMW convertible sports car but you'll still pay for the tickets and the sodas and the candy anway love you with all my heart). LOVE YOU MISS YOU SEE YOU SOON, peace.
-Will Jenkins aka the YUNG snowfake aka your moms favorite son aka the GOAT retweeter aka love you miss you
