I love being able to look back on life and smile. To scroll through my pictures and remember great stories and great times. From goofy band picture with guys I haven't seen in years, to family pictures. I am truly blessed to be where I am. I am glad I have this support, today is overwelming. My future is riding on an application I am putting off, b/c then my life will depend on an interview, and then my life will depend on a letter. I am playing the part an a play that has been performed so many times before. I am but a male for the love story, but a president for another year of some organization that will not know me when I walk out the door. But in my mind stories will always live. I remember hanging out at Aaron's not worrying about tomorrow, getting into Katie's car and turning up the radio. Spending 20 hours a week with my group of friends. Now we have gone our ways, some are farther than others. Some are mothers, some are working, some are graduated, some are sitting in my shoes. I will never see some of many of my closest friends ever again. I may never know someone as well as I knew them at that point in time. I will carve a path taken by none other. I will play many different parts. I will be the best possible person I can be. I will help those in need. I will love those around me. I will aim for the top and hit some where close. |

Is being in a fraternity going to be worth all of this BS? I enjoy most of the stuff I do. It makes me feel like a part of something bigger, I have fun, and for the most part the people are great. There are although a group of 5 guys who ruin it all for me. They are DB's for no reason. I don't see why I need the approval of every member. I'm never going to associate with them once I am a brother. Idk, maybe I just don't fit in there. After all, I think I would be the only non-hardcore republican. (I know weird, but it's a religious (in principle) fraternity). Maybe there are some obstacles I cannot over come. maybe it's not even worth the time I'm putting into it. The whole problem must be stemming from a need for acceptance, and my inability to figure out why these particular people cannot accept me.
As for the rest of life. Joining a couple more resume builders. trying to plan out my summer. I need a pharmacy job, I want to take EMT classes or physics at IUPUI, I want to have fun, I want to save money, I need to take time for my relationships with my parents. Some of this will not get done, I just don't know what. I feel my life being so dictated by acceptance requirements. Everything is in terms of how will it help my resume. Remember the days of riding your bike around town to friends houses. Wasting the days playing star fox and halo. Too bad I can't put the ability to beat mario on NES in less than half an hour on my resume.
What's around the corner? Wish I knew.
Insecurities may be getting the best of me. Or this Monster that is keeping me up half the night.
Be comfortable with yourself! take responsibility for your actions! quit acting like I am infalible! I can't handle it.
Will I always be the nice guy? the one who comforts the hurting. Who will always answer your call or txt, chat to you about whatever interests you, whatever you like. Never getting around to what's going on with me. Will I ever put myself ahead of others. I know I do, but given the situation, I always put others ahead of myself.
Some day I will post some happy thought on LJ, some day. |

Nothing is cheering me up tonight. The weather is screaming sadness. the trees are shedding their joy. I am here in an off white prison. solving the problems already solved. Something scream an answer give me something to try. something to reach for There's nothing to look forward to No comfort to seek. just questions uneasiness awkward glances fake smiles to family what a future |

Febuary is an interesting month. It is the shortest by all standards, but jam packed with events both in holiday form and personal history.
Is it bad that I don't remember exact dates? I mean I just don't, unless it's just huge. I remember, "oh that was winter of sophmore year", but not yeah june 20th 2007 (that one I do :)) but idk should I try to? hmm... I just don't know Alot has changed, but alot hasn't. I'm still me, I don't regret my decisions. I enjoy life alot more than I used to, but I don't feel as much deep connection with others. I thinkk this is because I've become content with my relationships with peopl that I know. I know their flaws, their issues and I don't seem to want much more. I wish I had that BFF or that person you always go to that isn't your significant other. I'm so burnt out on school and band. I'll make it to the end of the school year, I just hope I don't ruin all of the work I've put into highschool and band.
I might have some solo's for issma state quals. I've never had one before and they are alittle out of range, so that should be fun. |

While most of the world has given up on live journal. I am coming back to it. those other sites have their perks, but they are filled with superficial friends and people who have nothing better to do but to tell the world what I posted. LJ appears to now have a better crowd.
The winter always seems kind of down. It's cold outside, I don't get much exercise, everyone is sick, and everyone seems rather bitchy. That last one might just be the people. You try and be nice and it comes back in your face. Some people don't get it I guess. Life seems so surface right now. I don't know how much effort to put into particular friendships, knowing that in 7 months I will probably forget about them unless brought up in a conversation. I fear that I will be easily replaced in every aspect and I'll be that guy that comes back from college and everyone goes hey there's so and so oh well, and goes about their day. I feel like I have little going for me at the moment, but that I will go much farther than others in the future. but really how far you go in life is based on perspective. the mechanic who finally got his own shop and did decently for himself will say he went far, but the big shot banker who comes in for a tire rotation will think, "I am so much better than him, I he needs to get this done I have stuff to do." So maybe life is all about perspective. In that case a positive outlook will go a far way, so that is what I'll keep.
I have found myself few people I can actually talk to about things. No one around me can keep their mouth shut. I have a problem telling Sarah that. How horrible is it to tell someone that, duh you can't tell your best friend that she'll blab it all over the place" I have come to terms to the fact that I shouldn't trust people and I'm pretty good at calling out whether or not you should early in a relationship. That is why I'm reserved actually giving out details. B/c I can't trust my own friends not to tell people why should a trust an unclose friend. Is that right?
The next couple of months are going to be a real challenge. I'm going to have a large homework load, coupled with 2 ap tests. I have indoor which takes up 3 afternoons a week + saturdays + 2 weekends that it will take up sat. and sun. + a thur-sat contest that will eat class time, free time, and my chance to go to prom. Yes I know prom is lame but still it goes in the list. Then once that is over in the past we would have had a break, but Mr. A took care of that with atleast 2 more Saturdays being eaten up after that. Where am I going to find time to relax, time to have fun, time to do something I'll remember for the rest of my life.
This summer I need to do something awesome. I'm going on a cruise that will be fun. I might get to go to Australia, if that happens I'm going to be extatic. My other plans include a part time job somewhere hopefully a pharmacy or somewhere fun and getting in shape. The more in shape I am going in to college the more apt I am to stay that way.
Those are my thoughts for the day. |

[May. 10th, 2007|09:47 pm] |
I wish I had a hint, something to give me some type of idea. I feel like I am living in a place of unknowingness, and maybe I should know, but I don't. I'm torn.
In better spirits, I think this summer is going to be great |

I won't be remembered, My actions will slowly fall from what little glory they will have. In due time I will be a name on a plaque, or a signature here, or a story over there. But I will stand up for my beliefs, and I will help others stand up for theirs, that's all I need in life. |

Tonight was an amazing night for me as a person. I was faced with the widest range or positions, social places, old friends, old situations coming back up (that I had forgot about), and through it I've found myself alittle bit more. The BLT meeting went 1000x better then what I had expected, I actually had fun, which I dont know if I would have said in the past. I think it's going to be a good year. I also found myself trying to get others involved in atleast the BLT meetings and trying to mentor them I guess. Then after we filled out our paper about info and questions there was a not a teacher reference section so I filled it out blah blah blah. Then about half way through the meeting Sean came up to me and said he had put me as his reference, and I found that amazing that he feels I know him that well and we are that close, or maybe he just couldn't think of anyone. Either way it was very moving to me. Then I left practice and went to Starbucks and met up with some old friends, all of them are choosing very different paths in life then what I am, yet we have a connection, that has lasted past many differences, and obstacles. Then I came home and tried to add someone on facebook, and they still have a grudge about something I said 2 years ago that wasn't meant to hurt, but it did, and this person is still bitter about it. I'm sorry. I guess that's why you need to watch what you say.
I'm sorry if I didn't do the right thing when she was crying. I felt the overwelming urge to help, but I didn't know how, and I didn't know if it was my place, so I refrained, I don't really know if that was what I should have done. I guess thats an example of mind versus emotions. Everything we talked about tonight seemed to imediatly have an example and make sense.
Wow. this was truelly an amazing day |

[Nov. 25th, 2005|01:58 am] |
this thanksgiving went alot better then usual. I went to both my moms side and my dads sides festivitys. ate at both had fun at both played some killer yatzhee wich my mom beat me in did a incredibly hard word scramble with my cousins looked at ads for hours on end, picked out some xmas stuff, yeah pretty good time, but as we all know my dad likes to one up me so heres what he did.
gets my grandma drunk right before everyone comes over for thanksgiving she couldnt stand up and talk at the same time. then he leaves to come get me before most of the people come over so they have to deal with her. p.s. you should get your grandma drunk its hilarious.
