a better place

i haven't made the leap into the big bad world but i am catching tiny glimpses of it. and i already have theories of how things SHOULD be for the world to be a better place. 

well, as you might guess i am currently wrestling with issues concerning rent, utilities, furniture etc. living in a dorm has been rather straightforward and simple. one payment and you're set. no need to rent negotiations, making 300 checks to 300 different individuals because you owe them XYZ amount for XYZ time period. keeping track of paying within ABC time frame so you don't mess up your credit life. yeah, it's quite an elaborate system of rules for personal accountability. and i would say that it's quite unforgiving when it comes to mistakes. we are human after all. 

money is a funny thing. i think abba got it right. we fight, kill, and even die over it. it has this uncanny ability to make you happy like a clam (why clam?) or feel absolutely terrible. and everything sorta revolves around it. the power. i'm thinking, what if everything sorta revolved around mint chocolate ice-cream?

anyhow anyhow, welcome to the real world. ack.
