Ute vs Roo

[den]

Dad hit a kangaroo on the way home. The roo was a big male, about 7 feet tall. Mum and Dad are lucky the animal bounced right over the top and didn't come through the windscreen.

They're okay, but the ute and the kangaroo are totalled.









Well, bugger. But the company needed a new truck anyway. Now the accountant will let us buy it.

Close to the mark, but not quite right. I quit college because I had no focus and couldn't stick to goals. That has changed significantly over the past several years, and I gained my AA with high marks. The only reasons I haven't gone on to get a BA and Masters in Photography, yet, are purely economic. The sole reason that I don't have my email address listed in my info is because I get enough goddamned spam as it is. Other contact methods -are- listed.

I grow my own vegetables, I don't use more electricity than I need to, and, as soon as possible, I'm planning on getting a new, more-efficient car, possibly a hybrid, bio-diesel conversion, or one of unitednuclear's nifty hydrogen-fuel conversion/generation kits. And whether the animators like it or not, you're still supporting their economy.

And I have a job, again. I was unemployed for approximately three weeks, and have been on civil-service rolls in an attempt to get an actual career job, in addition to trying to sell myself to any photographers who I've been made aware of who need an assistant. And if Your 'bum' comment is rather unsupported, seeing as I pay for rent, food, partial utilities, a car, etc, etc, etc.

I'll also note here that you still have to account for your list of ecological sins, since you feel so strongly about them.

See, the last sentance is the funniest, here. I'm not done growing up -- in fact, I'm just barely out of adolescence. As I have become a man, I have learned from my mistakes, become more responsible, more focussed, and generally a better person. I'm improving myself every day as time goes on.

At your age, what's your excuse?
