| Man, sometimes life is just too perfect. Last year, I can remember how miserable I was coming home, out of place from being away so long, feeling completely alone and thinking life really couldn't get much worse. On Christmas Eve, I broke down and wept like a little school girl because my past was haunting me, my present family problems were knocking on my door, and my future was bearing down on me. I just look back and laugh as always. I think sometimes, many of us take life way too seriously. We're in our late teens or early twenties and thinking about jobs, marriage, familes, and finiancial situations. I'm just starting to fathom how simple life can actually be. Taking life day to day. All in stride. And it feels good. Sure, this causes me to be boderline broke, ok broke, but isn't that what donating plasma is for? Just looking at how much I've grown over the past year amazes me. I thought giving up drinking and hanging out with different people would change my outlook on life. Not really. Just seeing my old friends the past couple of days has been awesome. Nothing like making memories in Steak N Shake and Ben's apartment. Life shouldn't be such a burden on people. I know not everyone is blessed with the friends, girlfriend, and experiences I have, but I'm sure most of you have stuff that I don't, like a full hairline, a bank account, and self-respect. So don't let Christmas time get you down. I forget what it was all about last year. Thanks to college, friends, and family, I'm starting to realize what its all about. And that's going to be at 3:45 in the morning cuz I have church. | | |
| So, how's everyone doing?
Busy thanksgiving. Saw the Pistons play Wednesday with my dad, bro, and Benny Ho. Thanksgiving with the fam, and the rest of the weekend I was up in Detroit watching the State finals for football. So it was hetic I guess. It's kinda awkward having Thanksgiving with my parents with all the disdain floating around my family lately.
On a positive note, seeing my family life go down the crapper just makes me want to have a family that much more. I just want to have a house, dog, kid, and wife in that order. Just kidding. I'll have a kid before i get a dog. I just really want to play catch with my kid, change some diapers, and read some bedtime stories. Is that too much to ask? Oh well, I guess my time will come eventually.
Dan's birthday is this weekend. So is Tony's. So apparently, I will be home this weekend to partake in some good times. I don't go home for crap. Only first class events, and both friends are first class.
I hope friends Thanksgiving went well. Its sad I had to miss the tradition we started one short year ago.
I saw Rent last night. I love musicals. I swear I'm heterosexual. I'm a keeper. Just ask Allison. No day but today.
Last thought of the night, why do people get so pissed when nobody comments on their Xanga? its not a freakn' popularity contest. Write what's on your mind for you, not anybody else. Qute frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody reads this. Yet I still keep typing out entries. You do the math.
I hope life is grand for everyone. It is here. Keep safe. Don't drink and drive. Peace. | | |

| I went to a documentary about drinking and its place in college today. It was pretty interesting. It brought a lot of things to mind about how much we glamorize alcohol in movies, advertisements, and TV, yet you never see the side of people hungover, raped, and in the hospital. So many people in it claimed that there was nothing else to do put drink on weekends. Has our society become so immersed into the culture of alcohol that on a college campus, with thousands of other people, there was nothing else to do put drink? I sure hope not. I'm enjoying my time here. Yes, I have seen my fair share of parties, but never have I let drinking define who I am. I just hope all of you out there do the same. And watch out for each other.
Plus, they showed us this video and I am NEVER going to drink and drive after seeing this.

| If I knew a boilermaker, I would probably say his craft wasn't very good and he was sterile.
Seriously though, i love all my friends. Even the ones that read this and haven't talked to in a while
Even Kevin, he can be kinda cool sometimes.
I think i'm gonna start calling some people for catch up time.
I love america. | | |
