1.) No 8 o'clock classes.
2.) No morning PT. It's all in the afternoon.
3.) 13 hours instead of 18.
4.) No roommate so I have the whole dorm to myself.
5.) No girlfriend back home to distract me.
6.) More money.
7.) Better weather.
8.) Way better social life.
9.) Music Appreciation (because I don't have to go to it).
10.) Tons of sleep every night:D
Anyone feel me?
Over the past couple of months, particularly mid June to now, my life has been excellerated in a way that I've only dreamt about before. And I know why- God's been showing me the power of prayer and how dramatically things can change when you keep and extremely active prayer life. I can't even describe how blessed I feel, but I haven't been very active on here so I thought you guys might want to know what's up. Here's a couple of the things:
Last month my best friend (female) left for the Coast Guard Academy and is just now finishing up basic training. We've been real close since 1st grade and it was sort of a hit when she left. I started praying every night and sometimes throughout the day that I'd meet someone to think about; someone to get to know. Basically, a girlfriend. It only took a few weeks and God answered in a way I didn't expect- I started thinking about a girl I was already friends with in a new light. Her name's Lexi, she's almost 17, I know her through the Civil Air Patrol, she's smart as a whip and friekin hot. But for some reason or another, I wasn't interested in her in that sense for the 3 years I've known her. That changed a couple weeks ago and we're together now. Her parents are a little strict but I'm sort of thankful for that, and I have a really good feeling about it. Lastnight I even took her to my cousin's wedding, then we drove to an elementry school that I went to kindergarden at and chilled on a playground. All in all it was the funnest night of my life.
The second thing- my car isn't very reliable. Everyone starts out with a piece of crap, right? Mine happened to be a fairly cool piece of crap; a 86 rx7. But it's 22 years old and it has trouble in the heat, and I really don't feel comfortable taking it to college. Yet I don't have money for another car. I never worried about it, though, since I figured I could work a part time job to pay for a car since I'm on full scholarship. Well last week the results of my FAFSA came in, and I found out that I've been awarded 2 additional scholarships and the only one I thought I was going to get for room & board. So I'll have all the money I need to for that plus over $6000 for a car.
I hope that didn't sound like I'm bragging but I just needed to get it out. I'm extremely thankful because everything's been coming together for me and I can't take credit for it. Thanks for reading.
So I know I've sort of dropped of the edge of the Earth as of late. But as my gamespot activity has reached a new low, my real life activity has reached a new high. That high was lastnight.
No.... not what you're thinking.
The new Batman was the best movie I've ever seen. It has the best villain ever comprised- Heath Ledger as the Joker. I can't even describe how awesome this feat of acting was. I would say it was a far better note to die on than, say, Brokeback Mountain.
There was something new about this villain, however, that I've never seen before. He introduced a new level of evil mixed with humor to achieve a sort of sick, twisted charisma. He was hilarious. I would say that this character alone is 35% of what made the movie awesome.
Other things that made the movie awesome were unbelievable visuals, high levels of intensity, an captivating plot and alot of fun toys.
And, of course, it also had the best hero. It's friekin Batman....
It's 4:39 AM and I haven't slept yet. These last few days have been pretty eventful- Thursday night was prom, Friday was graduation rehersal and dinner, and today (or yesterday, I guess) was graduation, graduation party, and a crazy night around town.
I'm not feeling good right now. I don't know what it is, but there's emotional pressure that I need to get rid of. And I lied, I do know what it is. Her name's Chelsea. She's only part of it. The rest is as follows: sex, smoking, alcohol. Listening to Taking Back Sunday is probably making it worse, idk. No I haven't gone off the deep end, it's just that my environment regarding these things has changed dramatically. Tonight, after the party and movie, I rode around town with 3 friends; good Christian friends; for the sole purpose of getting beer and getting laid. There you have it. And to be quit honest, given the appeal of the moment, I just might have partaken in both. I don't know. Actually I know I'd have gone for a drink- I wasn't driving and I've never had more than one. As far as getting laid, that was more a random obsession by the driver.
And what's so weird is that this isn't the case of peer-pressure or anything you usually talk about. It's more like the simple progression of things. And yet I know, even though we had a great time, I would have rather been with some certain other people who wouldn't go near it. People like Chelsea, for example. We were in the 2nd grade together, went forever without seeing eachother, were in a college class all of senior year so I guess we're sort of friends. But we're not really friends... I don't know if she thinks I'm a weirdo or what. I don't mean to brag but it's usually not hard to get a girl to like me, but this is just plain hard. She's beyond hot, to be blunt. I almost feel guilty attributing that word to her. She's a Godly girl. I don't deserve her. At the same time, nobody else does either so I'm going for it. I've actually prayed about this alot. I don't know if she's taken the hint or not; unless it's normal to ask a girl to dance three times in a night it should be evident.
Whether or not she knows isn't what's killing me though. It's the fact that I don't know. I would rather her just say "**** off" then go on like this, and yet it feels way too premature to make that move. I don't know what to do, this one's hard as hell. I'll tell more later or something, when my mind is working right.
Uh here are some pics, if yall are interested.
This is my friend Brandon (left) and myself at prom. He's one of the ones I was with tonight.
Me and one of my best friends.
At Grad rehersal.
After that.
Don't know if these were supposed to be gang signs or what....
Right after grad.
Mk now check this one. Yes that is me on the right and no yes it was intentional :P
It's officially 5:25 now that I'm done with this and I can hear birds chirping so I'm going to get some sleep. Thanks for reading.
Hey guys, I haven't been on here alot lately but here's what's been up.
I'm officially completely set for college. I'll be living in the Memphis dorms starting this fall, living both the college and military life, and having fun in the home of rock & roll. I'm pretty exited :D
So Saturday night I went to Beale Street Music Festival. Origonally I wasn't going to get to go since I didn't have any money, but then I got a check in the mail for 50 bucks Saturday morning (from some friends for graduation), and I hitched a ride with some friends. Oddly enough, my friend Zach works for Q107.5 (a top 40 station) so we got to park at one of the DJs condos and walked down the river from there. There were 200,000 people----> it was crazy. When we got there Simple Plan had just started, so we watched them and they were pretty good. Then we met up with another friend and fought our way to about 20 feet from the stage when Seether came out. THAT WAS AN AMAZING SHOW. If you've never seen Seether live you need to. They were awesome.
What was more awesome was just being in the mosh pit. We happened to be right beside some really hot girls (both in spandex:shock: ) and when one asked to get on my friends shoulders, since he's really tall, naturally I offered to put the other one up. So like, I had this friekin fine girl up on my shoulders and my hands on her legs... yeah it was nice. It felt pretty weird on the back of my neck though since they were wearing volleyball shorts8) Thankfully she didn't lift up her bra though like most of them were doing. I was kind of surprised because this one girl was on a dudes shoulders and took it all off, and they put the spotlight on her:lol: Made me kind of glad I wasn't with a female friend because then we couldn't have enjoyed it:roll:
Oh yeah, I got to crowd surf twice. That was sooo much fun; first time I've ever done it. Basically it was the only way to get out because the crowd at that stage was so incredibly tight. When someone needed out, they'd get thrown up, taken to the front of the stage and dropped in the trench and caught by security, and then led back around. So they threw me up and I was effortlessly transported about 50 feet. Uh and then Disturbed played. I cannot even describe how epic that show was. Disturbed was amazing in my book before hand, but now they are the most hardcore band ever.
After that I got a call from one of the friends I was originally with and apparently he was at some condo with a bunch of rich chicks. So I headed over there and caught a little bit of Santana on my way out, but Disturbed and Santana were the last acts on the two biggest stages so it was pretty much over for the night. I went to the condo and we chilled for a bit. Then we decided to watch a movie, with everyone on the same bed, which was nice. Except the movie really sucked. Nobody had seen "One Missed Call" we decided to buy it for the night. It was pure corn, to be honest. Not that I was paying attention to the movie anyway...
Then my mom calls and was like "hey are you coming home tonight? it's 3:30" and I just told her we'd be heading back in a bit. So when we get back to my friend's Jeep he's got a friekin flat tire, and it took forever to change it because the bar for taking the lugnuts off was bending. but we finally got it changed and the spare tire was horrible. It felt like we were driving on ice the whole way home, so we went like 50 mph. After dropping the other guy off, I finally got home at 5 AM.
So basically that was Sat. night. The rest of the week was pretty good but this was the highlight by far. I can't wait for Music Fest next year...
My Tigers lost tonight.
Kansas can just die in fire....
On a lighter note, we still made history by setting a record for most wins in a season EVER. Screw the championship...
Or Panama City.... rather.
Overall, it was an awesome time. I saw more cute girls in one day than in the previous month. I got the perfect tan, in perfect weather, and now I'm back in Memphis where it's cold and rainy:(
What about you guys? How did you spend your break?
