| Where has all the time gone? I started this thing early on in my high school years and here I am now, a little more than half a year away from graduating from college. I went from posting here everyday to now just posting whenever I have nothing better to do, feel the sudden urge to, or have something that I feel needs to be said whether it be for myself or to address others. I guess it's nice to have this thing around cause I at least have an outlet for my thoughts when I have the need to unload what's on my mind. Sometimes I go back through the archives and read my old posts and they are great for bringing back memories (good and bad). And I wouldn't want it any other way, cause it's because of all those events that got me to where I am now. I mean, who would have thought that I would now be standing at the threshold of graduating from college. It's been a long road, but rest assured when I tell you that the show is just about to begin. My story will continue whether I (or you) may like it or not. And in my mind, it's only gonna get better. That's not to say things are gonna get easier but just that I'm ready to take on whatever challenge may present itself. I welcome, with open arms, this new saga of my life. LET'S GO!

| Funny how some of the less joyful memories of the past help to remind me of how truly lucky I am. I really have come a long way and the journey has been completely worth it. To know that I would have everything and everyone that I have in my life right now, I'd go through it all over again. I mean there are times when I feel that there are situations that I could have handled differently, but honesty, who doesn't feel that way sometimes? With that said I wouldn't change a thing because the way that certain events turned out have made me the person I am today. I don't regret a single day of my life; I don't regret anything that I've done or haven't done. Everyday is (and has been) a blessing and no one can tell me otherwise.

| So I'm back again and this time it's been less than a year haha. I was just bored and I guess having lost today's intramural football game got me to think about all the things that I still have: things to be thankful for, especially since Thanksgiving is coming up. First and foremost, I'm thankful to still be alive, and as cliche as that may sound, that is truly what I feel because I have done so many stupid things and there has been more than one occasion in which if things had turned out differently, I wouldn't be here writing this entry right now. Secondly, I am thankful for my family. They are the ones who keep me motivated to achieve the things that I want to achieve. My family members have all taught me a lot and although they can be irritating sometimes, I still love them. I mean who doesn't get irritated with the people they love sometimes? Third, I'm thankful for my friends: past and present. Whether it's the ones I still talk to on a daily basis, the ones I keep in touch with every now and then, or even the ones I've completely lost touch with...they all have meaning in my life. Regardless of whether or not we still keep in contact today, each and every person who I have at one point called a friend and possibly still do has made a lasting impact on my life. They are the ones who have played a role in the decisions I have made in the past in order to shape myself into the person I am today. I genuinely appreciate all that everyone has done for me no matter how minuscule the effect, I am a better person because of it. And lastly, I am thankful for everything that I have, namely my material possessions, plenty of opportunities, a continuing education, and the luxury of being able to get whatever I need if need be. There are so many things that I overlook during the happenings of everyday life and I forget to think about all the little things. I always tell myself to just take a second and notice all the things around me, but sometimes I get so caught up with this and that and it becomes hard to just take a 15 minute break and realize that there is so much more around me. And when I do get the chance to pay attention to the little things, like now, it's like a breath of fresh air. My mind gets cleared out and I can look at things with a whole new perspective. I can think about things in a way that I wouldn't do so normally and it feels great. All in all, I guess I just wanted to say that LIFE IS GOOD. I have very little to complain about and I am grateful for it.

| Hard to believe that it's been almost two years since I've actually done anything with this. I remember back when I used to post here all the time. A lot of things have happened since then. For starters I'm no longer in high school. I'm enjoying college life; it's a great experience. Met a lot of new people, lost touch with others but I guess that's just how it is. I don't know who still uses this or who's gonna take the time to read this but I figure I should put this to use since I have it even though I don't have anything significant to say. It's like saying "Hi" to an old friend that you haven't seen or talked to in a while. As for how I'm doing..I'm doing pretty well. There really isn't much that I can complain about at this point. I've done a lot more with my life and I've experienced a lot of new things. I'm more comfortable with just being me now, not that I wasn't before but more so now. Life is great and I'm just enjoying it as much as I can. Sure there are ups and downs but the way a person carries his or herself through adversity determines character, right? And right now, I'm liking who I am and who I've become over the past couple years. And with that, I'm off. Until next time. | | |
| GRADUATION TOMORROW....oh man....I can't wait! 4 long, hard-fought years at George Washington High School and now its time to move on to bigger things. I must say these past 4 years have been rather memorable. I don't really want to go into detail cause then it might take me forever to finish this entry. So we've had grad rehearsals for the past 2-3 days which were pretty much a waste of time but thats okay, got the yearbook signed by many people so its all good. Senior awards assembly tonight and you are now reading the entry of the recipient of the national scholar/athlete award presented by the US Army Reserve. I get a nice certificate and a fat medal to rock at graduation tomorrow. Awesome! Well thats about it for now. Later people. | | |
