Oh..People

    This town that I live in, I can say with 85% certainty is a shit hole. Of course every town has its glamor, and I'm not one to judge but when 50% of the population are elderly people and 40% are drug addicts that leaves the other 10% to be people like me; normal people who work hard and have ambition.
     It's sad to say this but when my parents got divorced when I was six, I don't think I've ever seen a person flee as fast as my mom did to get away from the cute little old people, who can no longer seem to grasp the concept of driving. I was raised in California with my mom (where I was taught to drive) and the two years Ive got under my belt here in the sunshine state I find myself with constant rage while I'm on the road. I think that after 70 we all need to be tested each year from then on, on our driving abilities; doesn't that sound like a brilliant idea? We also have the snowbirds who cant seem to manage our Florida roads either, I won't even bother to get into our friends from Ohio! Like really people, get out of my way.
    I'm pretty sure when I speak of the drug users, it's safe for me to say that I can only speak on behalf of South Florida. I'm no saint and Ive spent my time with drugs, but Ive started to notice in the past year or so that I'm finding more recreational drug users than I would have ever thought possible; and I'm not just talking about weed. I don't think I have ever encountered, or came into contact with as many prescription drug users in my entire life, than Ive seen in my two years here. almost every week another doctor is getting busted for basically ruining people's lives in my eyes. All for a quick buck!  It disgusts me to the point that I don't even want to embark any further into it. I just always know that I am who I choose to surround myself with, which I still can't say is perfection. Then again what is?
    This is starting to get long and I could go on forever but the truth is, I'm attending a new school (which I love) and am starting to find that 10% I have been looking for, for the past two years.I'm glad to say I'd rather play tennis with my roommates then snort a line of something off a table. As I said earlier, I'm not one to judge even though it seems to be all I'm doing; I'm just looking for normality and I will find it, maybe under a rock somewhere.
     

  

How cool

This being my first post to my very own PERSONAL blog, I'm a bit excited to put the thoughts that go through my noggin on a day to day bases into something that can be shared with others; who might feel the same as I do or differently. I have both Facebook and Twitter accounts, but the whole uprising of social networking these days is making my head spin with enthusiasm to dig deeper. I wouldn't consider myself a writer, although I do enjoy putting my thoughts onto a piece of paper or even onto a social platform for that matter. I'm about half way into my junior year at Florida Gulf Coast University as a Mass Communications major looking to get into Public Relations. Like I said before I'm not a writer, I enjoy writing and have hopes that it could lead me into something interesting someday so please if anyone does happen to stumble upon my blog I would love and appreciate very much, some criticism at the least. Just remember I am new to this whole blogging thing so be nice to me!

Oh and P.S. My name is Allison, I'm almost 23 years old and I live in a town considered to be Heaven's waiting room. Oh Joy, I know.
