That Long

Hooked up, I am never hooked up. I pride myself in being able to handle my business, but it is that foolish pride that bites me in the ass. In college, I breezed through the basics, not realizing the basics were training for the upcoming classes. I paid the price, struggled through classes that now would seem simple. I should have gone to class, but I didn't, so I had to work twice as hard as I should have to simply get by.

Now in life, I am hooked up again, and I haven't prepared for this. Just a little stress, but if I would just not screw off a little it would be much less painful.

I have to screw off, that is who I am. So I will work twice as hard to catch up in half the time. Damn it, you would think I could learn now and then, but I don't.
