Due to my behavior, I'm being kicked out of my parents place to go live with my bum Uncle in Mississippi for a few months. It was either this, or join the military. I obviously chose the lesser of two evils. Um...I leave a few days just before New Years, so I may still have SOME (not much) time to pop in on here until then. But, after I leave I won't have any internet or phone access for the entire stay with my Uncle. It could be one month, it could be 3. Hopefully not more.
It's kind of like a (forced) vacation. My parents needed a break from me and I needed a break from them.
Either way, I won't be doing ANY music, or ANY art, or ANY photos, and certainly no XLTRONIC this whole time. I just want to say I'll miss you. But I'll be back when I can.

Basically. Minus the alcohol and stealing part. More of not obeying parents and not showing respect. It's the way I was raised and I'm just not the kind of person who WANTS to be raised that way. Unfortunatly, it conflicts, and now I'm in this shit. So...no big deal I guess, it's just going to be hard for me to live without any human contact other than my Uncle for a few months. :[ Oh, and LOTS of black people and white gangster wanna-be's.

Mississippi is sweltering hot summers, dry (but not freezing) winters. Many cotton fields, lots of flat, flooded land, and basically all of Mississippi is a place where criminials and people who just dont care go to live. I was born there, and lived the first 8 years of my life, but, it's not the same as going back now that I understand certain things about life. Basically, it's real shitty, and that's what I'll be stuck with. And lots of racism, and lots of people

I'm not asking about his upbringing, I'm asking what he meant by the sentence.. raised into being someone who doesn't want to be what he was raised into being? Not that he is what he's been raised into being, but he may (wrongly) believe so.

soul music and blues came from the river. go find it and bring it back when you get out. just don't let the community crush you.

I don't understand why you won't be doing anything in Mississippi, is bum uncle tying you to the bed for the duration of your stay? How have you upset your parents, is it because you keep taking photos of yourself, are they suspicious you want to be a male model and not pursue a military career?

The way I was raised was what most people consider to be a "prude" lifestyle. Obey parents, never steal, dont drink, dont smoke, get all A's in school, goody-two-shoes that kind of thing, right? Well, I'm just not that way. Unfortunatly. I like to have fun and do things most kids my age are doing, however, my parents don't like that. I'm still stuck at the "do what your parents say" part though, so they want to send me to Mississippi to stay with my uncle until one of my friends can sort out some room for me to stay with them. Which like I said may be 2 or 3 months, because they have school and work right now.
I'm not in school because I'm taking time off to save money. that didn't work out because i just got fired because of a computer error where the manager thinks I stole moeny from the register, which I would NEVER FUCKING DO! I'm bad, but not that bad. Besides there's video cameras EVERYWHERE up front.
For fun in MS, I may try to meet people, try to find some of the local black folk who are into making music. I don't know if it will work or not. I mean, there's lots of lazy poor broke blacks and some (very few) whites there. i'm notracist, but it's jsut a different environment than what I'm used to. I also may try to get some fishing done. Haha, as lame as it sounds....and I'll work on cars with my Uncle. That's about it. He doesn't have cable, doesn't have internet, and won't let me call back home here long distance. So i better make some friends there. And I won't have a car...:[ Maybe I can find a cute girl to keep me busy. It will kind of be like starting fresh there anyways. THey'll be enfautated with me (a city boy) I hope and maybe I can get laid. Hahaha. ;)
No digital cam corder trentee, only an SLR and Polaroid. May do a HUGE collection of photos.

Like....my mom and dad are sick of me leaving the house without saying "Oh, hey I'm going out with my friends to go bowling" or something. I just usualy stand up and walk out the door. They are sick of me having people over without asking. They are sick of seeing me spend all MY HARD EARNED MONEY (MY MONEY!!!) on what I want. I AM 18 for god sakes. They just are...being parents I guess. I can live with it, it's just not what most kids my age have to deal with. And yeah after I get back from this "vacation" I'll be moving in with a friend or to my own place.

Maybe you could become a Motivational Speaker, getting them dumb lazy wog-monkeys off their porches and into the cotton fields where they belong, to save up for their fare back to Africa? It would be a way to pass the time, and I hear that Motivational Speakers make a nice income.

They sound like terrible parents. Kicking out their adult son with only somewhere else to go. I don't know how you have managed to live with them for so long. Give me the abusive, drug taking, child neglecting parents who doesn't give a fuck about what their kids get up to and boot them onto the street aged 14 type any day.

It will be a shame to see you go. Please be positive about this whole thing. I will probably be a life changing experience for you. If I was you I would try to find a job there which has the possability of promotion (and other offices in places you actually want to live), be a file clerk or something similar.
If you need to meet women quickley take up capoeira, find a comunity centre or some place that runs classes (guaranteed introductions to hot women!!!)
You may actually thank your parents for this one day.

i think I have to agree on this one. You sound like my friend brennan. he did the same kind of thing; just did what he wanted whenever he wanted regardless of the people he was staying with (his parents) free of charge. he was a great guy, i had nothing against him, but i always thought it was pretty stupid and immature of him to do this kind of stuff for absolutely no reason other than he wanted to. he also got sent to his uncle's house out in the country, but he was some former drill instructor for the army or something, so i think he probably had a worse time than you will.
you have the right to be a "free spirit" or whatever when you're living your own life and taking the responsibility that comes with it, but i say that as long as you're living at home with your parents, they are right in this situation (not about the money part though, that is pretty stupid). your parents probably want you to tell them where you're going and stuff because they care about you. is it that hard to say, "i'm going bowling with friends"? i urge you to think more about the situation and the other people involved before you immediately fault your parents for this.
anyway, sorry for the lecture, god knows i'm not one who should be talking. try to have a good time in the deep south, and stay out of too much trouble. good luck!

I've never been able to remember to tell my parents things. I get so caught up in the moment that I go on and do thigs. It's going to require a LOT of more self-control on my part. Something I will hopefully learn and teach myself in these few months alone.
