My, How The Times Have Changed

    Man it has been quite some time since my last entry.  It's crazy how time fly's by, and how things have changed.  Instead of the usuall update on how things are going, I have decided to make this entry a pretty serious one.  Kind of like a message, or a "Reflection" of  how things used to be.  To all my friends who read this, you will know exactly what I am talking about.  Wow, it has been a really long time since the last time I worte in this thing.  I almost forgot I even had a xanga.  Let's start shall we.

   Just the other day I was reading past entry's I wrote and I realized something.  I was amazed at how everything was "good", and everyone got along with everyone else.  While reading my past xanga entry's they made me laugh, smile, and remember just how goofy we all are.  Then I look at where we all are now, how things have gotten complicated, and some of us have begun to stress out, and how some of us who used to be friends are no longer friends.  Or how some of us have had good times and bad, but it's always the bad times they seem to remember.  Ever since I graduated high school, I was relieved because all of that bullshit drama was out the door.  No longer would I have to worry about all of that "He said, She said" non-sense.  But when I look at where life is now, I have realized that it's still there, when it shouldn't be. 

    Now that we are out of high school, we have began to find out what we want to do with our lives.  And as a part of that we mature as well.  You could say that we are adults now, and if there is ever a problem or a situation we should handle it like adults.  Not hold gruges against eachother over petty little things, and big things as well.  No matter how much they hurt, you just have to be able to work it out.  Especially when you don't want to loose a best friend.  A best friend that I wish they knew just how sorry I am for the things I have done to them, and I would do anything to take all of the pain away.  And no matter how hard I try to work things out, saying sorry is just another word in their vocabulary.  I have realized that things won't get better until that person is able to forgive me for what happened.  And as of right now it hasn't happened, and I wish it would.    I am not going to metnion any names in this blog, because that is not important in this entry, what is important is that all of my friends who read this, hopefully you will understand the message I am trying to tell you.

   Overall, what I want to say is that friendship is a gift that can last a lifetime.  And it's those friends that make life great, because without them life would be boring.  To those friends who are currently not getting along so well, take this advice and talk to eachother.  Because no friendship is worth losing, and the only way to lose a friend is to give up on them.  And for as long as I have known the two of you, this dislike you have towards eachother is non-sense.  So try to work it out because it sucks to sit there and see how things are now, when back then it was all gravy. 

    The last thing I would like to say to my friends is THANK YOU.  THANK'S for being there for me when I needed it most, THANK'S for making me laugh when I was down, THANK'S for making me realize that life is short and you only live once so live it up, and follow your dreams.  THANK'S for making me realize that to be right, you must be able to admit when you're wrong.  THANK'S for the iPod.  THANK'S for all those words of wisdom and all the advice you have given me, THANK'S for picking up the phone when I call.  THANK'S for putting up with my shit or when I have an attitude at times.  THANK'S for being my 2nd family.  THANK'S for anything and everyting that you have ever done for me, and most importantly THANK YOU for being my friend!  

    I have a feeling that we all will get back to where we used to be, but it will take some time.  But as long as we work on it together, anything is possible.  And to all of my friends, I just wanted to say... I love you all very much.      

      After a long ass time, and dry spell, I am back in action!   Let me begin with all the new stories I have to tell!  Lets begin shall we.

         School is going good.  I have passed all of my classes and I am in the final quarter of my first year of completion at Sinclair.  Man how fast time goes by!  I am still playing tennis for the Men's Tennis team at Sinclair, and I am sweeter than ever.  Our team also went to Orlando, Florida for spring break and that was another crazy story of its own.  I had a blast I will say that!  Anyhew, our team just finished our Regional tournament, and we ranked 2nd place!  Since we finished in the top 2 teams, we get to go to the NJCAA National Tennis Championships in Dallas, Texas!  Pretty sweet huh?  I am excitied, its gonna be awesome.

        I have a job at VEI Inc.  It's the sweetest job I have ever had, detailing and washing cars.  I work with a great group of guys, and we always have a blast blasting eachother in the face with the power washer!  No I am partially bling in my left eye!

        I have aslo got another tattoo.  Thats two no to add to my collection.  It is the Chinese symbol meaning "Faith" on the inner bicep of my right arm.  It didn't hurt as bad I thought it would, I will probably get another one.  But I am not sure when.

        I am also playing in a co-ed softball league in Miamisburg, and our team is F*&KING SWEET!  WE have and undefeated losing streak!  Thats right, haven't won a game yet.  But it's ok, cuz its all for fun.  Our next game is this Friday against the Yankees,  thats right the New York Yankees, and yes...  we will probably lose too!

      Well, thats all I got to say for now.  If anything else pops up, I'll be sure to jot it down.  Gotta go, till next time!

           Life?........      It's a funny thing isn't it?  Never knowing which way you will go throughout its journey.  Up, Down, Left, Right?....   How do you know where you will go in life?  I guess the only way to find out is to just live it to the fullest.  Even when there may be times when you have no clue what you want to be when you are older, just know that you were put on this earth for a reason.  And when that day comes, when you know what you want to do, or who you want to be......   There is no other feeling better than that.  Sorry, I just had to write that.  It's ok, I know what your thinkin......  Yes its true I am a Doctor!.......    Actually I am not, I dont really know what the hell I am talking about, but I was having one of theose moments when you sit down, and your just laying on the couch watching TV, and all of the suddent you think about life.   Where you will be in the next 10-15 years?   What you will look like?  Where your friends will be?  And I think that not knowing the answers to any of those questions is........   awesome.

          Onto what has happened in my life.  School has gone great, I have a higher GPA than I did from back in high school.  Two of my best friends Steve, Joe and I went on a trip to South Carolina to go see how a nerds like us become a real men......  or how to become a Marine.  Dean recently completed his boot-camp training and is now an official Marine.  It was so cool watching all of those recruits marching, chanting, saluting, and OOO-RAHing!  Congradulations Dean, as your friend I have to say that I am very proud of you, and I give you much respect for accomplishing a life long goal and standing up for your country.  If and when you go off to war, my prayers will be with you.  God bless you Dean, and welcome home.

           So, my next topic of discussion.  Hey!  I got a new job.  And Daddy like!  I am working back at click for the christmas season.  Just like I was tryin to tell my damn wife man, deese people gotta make dey bread cuz!  I also am a proud member of a sweet ass band by the name of BEES LIKE STEVE!  We rock, and sqeeuze......  it out!  I also stayed the night at the House of a close friend of mine.  It was a girls house....  yes thats right, a girl!   And I would personaly like to thank her for CLEANSING my system.  God bless you, you Maverick Renegade! 

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!     JOE IS GAY!!!!! 

     Back to my story.   Ok Joe isn't gay anymore, he was though.....  for only a night.  Poor guy....   with friends like that......  YOU GOT TO HAVE THEM!   Just kidiing Joe, I know you aren't gay.

      Well, I think I am getting arthreitis in my joints from all of this typing.  So its that time for me to bid you all A-DEW!  Thanks for tuning in, and bye-bye now!
