I ditched out of Berkeley quite a few months ago to take care of some things back at home. When i left, a lot of things were... shitty, and since i've been at home, things have been about 1,000,000% better. So, in my mind, things have returned to exactly the Berkeley-status i like - i feel good, i have good relationships with people (and the promise of good relationships), and people unquestionably know me for the 1,000,000% awesomer person i am now.
My mind took a still shot of berkeley, and those images, without the bad stuff, have been carved into my mind over the past few months. i expect all to see me like i never bailed out, like i'm that rockstar i was. I neglected to remember that people change and grow and probably remember me as that crazy person i was before i left.
holy shit. What a wake-up call. I thought i didn't need to do shit to pop back into my place. You're telling me i have to earn people's hearts and minds back?
I feel like some stupid politician trying to get reelected.
Note: "Hella" is pandering to my East Bay constituency.
If you would like to donate to my campaign, to keep the spirit of Berkeley alive, please go to my facebook wall and talk about how hella cool i am. Or if you would like to volunteer, i can give you a script with a bunch of lines about how berkeley hella needs hella cool people, like suzanne. Then we'll add in something like "hyphy" and get Oakland in on the spirit too.
This is my masterminded political campaign. I clearly forgot everything I learned in Dan Schnur's class.
