10:55 am	What the hell? This thing is still running? Holy crap. Well, I'll most likely use it on an irregular basis, but I definitely want to start getting my thoughts down on "paper" again. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:18 pm	Mike Casey. We didn't really get along for the first two...years that I knew you. You always had something smart-assed to say. Of course, I didn't say anything negative...but we definitely weren't friends. Then, I began to see past my own assumptions about you, my own impression of what you were all about, and suddenly, you didn't seem so hostile. You had a different sense of humor, one that would not rest until everyone in the room had at least acknowledged you by cracking a smile... Always smiling that smirkish grin. There was always something funny brewing in the depths of your mind, just waiting to burst from your mouth. Thanks for showing me that first impressions aren't always right, that I absolutely suck at reading others, and that everyone has something great to offer the world they live in, and in their relationships with other people. And how simple it is to touch someone's life, and change them indefinately. You're forever in our hearts, Mike. We miss you, fool. As for everyone else, a few things to keep in mind: -Don't be afraid to say "I love you" to the ones you love -Forgive those who've wronged you, because holding onto those wrongs only hurts you. From forgiveness comes freedom, for them as well as for yourself. -Accept people (and yourself) for who they are, not what they have, or what they can do for you. -Realize that you have much worth, and that you matter to those around you. -Materialism is NOT an acceptable sin. But laziness isn't, either, so do your best in all that you do, but realize that, in life, the journey IS the goal, not a means to an end. -Do right while not in the sight of others. Not sure what else to put here, but thanks for bearing with me while I ranted. Cherish your time now, because you never get it back.

4:59 am	Not really feeling so good... I took a chance. I told her how I felt. I opened my heart to her. She called me a "stupid fuck." I really don't have many words to say right now... Maybe I actually don't deserve to be happy. Current Mood: crushed (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:09 am	Just another random rant It's probably just the weather getting cooler, Or the couples that I see In the theaters, At the mall, At school, On TV, And it really works a number on me. I love my family and friends. But there's something else I feel like I need in my life. It's easy for me to say, "I don't need it; I'd just prefer to have it." But do I really believe that? Seriously, this posting's getting more pathetic by the moment. Dumb holidays. I love celebrating the real reason for Christmas. I hate getting caught up in the feeling that I have to find someone to start a relationship with. Am I mad? Upset? Lonely? Mostly just lonely. Maybe I'll stop listening to Goo Goo Dolls, Boys II Men, and All 4 One for a little while. And seeing "Just Friends" four times didn't help much, either. Stupid Hollywood. Maybe there's a girl I'm thinking of right now, Someone that I'd like to be able to be honest with about my feelings, To tell her, "You're a beautiful, intelligent, funny, kind, and heart-warming individual, and I can't stop thinking about you. The best part of my week is getting to see you for 5, maybe 10 minutes at most. Your laugh, Your smile, It really does make everything else worthwhile, and at the same time, Worth nothing compared to making you happy." Oh, how I want you to know that, Even if you don't feel the same. The days seem to get longer, and the nights colder. But I know you're out there, And I pray you're doing well, That you're waiting for me, too. I don't hate the holidays; just the baggage that seems to come with it.

10:52 am	Looking back over my past entries last night, I realized that I spent a lot of time posting song lyrics on here, instead of trying to express myself without them. Well, guess a song is better than "Hey, I ate breakfast and went to school and went to work and came back, so here I am." So, without further ado... ------------------------------------------------------ Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me Oh things are gonna happen naturally Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side And balancing the whole thing But often times those words get tangled up in lines And the bright lights turn to night Until the dawn it brings A little bird to sing about the magic that was you and me Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others only read of Others only dream of the love, the love that I love. See I'm all about them words Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive You and I, you and I Not so little you and I anymore And with this silence brings a moral story More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others just read of And if you could see me now Well then I'm almost finally out of I'm finally out of Finally deedeedeedee Well I'm almost finally, finally Well I'm free, oh, I'm free And it's okay if you have to go away Oh just remember the telephone works both ways But if I never ever hear them ring If nothing else I'll think the bells inside Have finally found you someone else and that's okay Cause I'll remember everything you sang Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of and if you could see me now well then I'm almost finally out of, I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede well I'm almost finally, finally out of words. ------------------------------------------------------ Man, this dude can SING! And the guitar isn't incredibly difficult in this song, but it's the perfect complement to the lyrics. Definitely would recommend this for anyone who enjoys a great acoustic song. ::::::::::::EDIT:::::::::::::: Haha, well, my "monster" of a fantasy football team is losing in the league as of right now. Hopefully Eagles/Falcons tonight will produce some positive results. Props to Manning, though, for keeping me in the running. Go download the song below!

1:44 pm	Heartbroken Juuuuuuust peachy. I'm broke, credit card bill's getting higher, and worst of all, there's about an 80-90% chance that I'm not going to be coming back to Tallahassee for school in the fall. Too much to write about that now, but rest assured I'll update sooner or later. {One Love} Current Mood: crushed Current Music: "Walk Away" - Ben Harper (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:11 am	{exasperated sigh} Well, the deadline's breathing down my neck now, and I still don't know what I'm supposed to be doing, or where I'm supposed to be going. They say that God doesn't answer the prayers of a man who will second guess God's will if He reveals it to him. Is that why I've been trying in vain? Am I still at the stage of "I'll go where You want me to go (if that's where I want to be)"? Seriously: Am I staying down in Tampa for the rest of my schooling, or am I going back up to Tallahassee in the fall? Where is God calling me to be? I'm seriously sick and tired of wasting my time and money and effort trying to fulfill the things that I want to do, the things that I believe are best for me, when no one really knows what's best for them anyway. It's a proven fact. Growth and maturity never comes from looking only at yourself. You have to look to others. And I've spent so much time factoring in the WRONG THINGS into my decision as to whether or not I'm going to FSU or USF in the fall. Where my friends are, my longing to be independent, expenses, all of this useless CRAP that does nothing to help my decision-making. Is it wrong for me to miss my friends in Tallahassee? AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! More later, gotta get some sleep. Thanks to everyone who kept me on their friends list even though I hadn't been active in over a month.
