This is my last Saturday without someone next to me in my bed. One more week until I dedicate myself publicly to the girl I’ve set my heart aside for long ago.
I surrender this week to the hope of many weeks spent together walking through countryside and scenery, praying over our lives, laughing in unison about human nature and awkward situations, and thousands of miles through countries and cities of old.
It’s hard not to pass on the days beforehand and just fast forward to the wedding. How I often I forget the value of every second of time. I can’t let time slip through my fingers any faster than it already is.
Everyday there is
a chance
a message
an experience
a piece of knowledge
a decision
a moment
a choice
a death
a lose
a sacrifice
a birth
a win
reconciliation
forgiveness
restoration
redemption
“‘Cause time has a mind of its own,
like our sun spinning around.
It wont slow for you now.”

if I live a life
where I’m very knowledgeable
about handy man type work
and am a decorated war hero
but have failed at creating a
relationship
with my children,
then I’ll have lost my way
I want the walls of small talk
of chit chat
of shooting the bull
to be broken at the mortar wells
and to crumble like a sand castle
in the relationships of my life
Lets throw out the surface level
if the soil is too dry to harvest
lets water the fields of contact
and create a contingency plan
to live together
and to allow one another to be known
Let your daughter know she’s loved.
Let your wife know she’s loved.
Let your father know he’s loved.
Life is over the minute you forget.

The best present you can give someone is time. Invest time in people if you want to be happy.
What are you waiting for? Go do something with your life!
History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.

Said by a sweet, sweet man.
“The Ringer” is a good movie. I recommend it. I think I will flex my arms at girls I have a crush on from now on whenever I say “Hi”. It worked for Glen.
A few of my friends are gettin’ hitched. Some are moving away soon. What a world! Time flies baby. Don’t let it pass you by, or you’ll be the guy asking “Where’s the ice cream?”
I love you friends.

I surrender! Out of both weakness and courage, out of both madness and clarity.
It’s time for finals, so you know what that means: It’s the end of the year and I’m slacking off more than ever, doing the least bit possible to get by. I hate my final project for video class, It’s not what I’m capable of. But I guess if you call me a slacker, it’s everything and the only thing I’m capable of.
Time to wake up and get a life. 40 hours weeks of work all summer. That should make menot want to slack off.
IN ADDITION
Isn’t it funny how after you click a bulletin on myspace, your two options are to either Reply to them, or Delete friend. Isn’t that pretty drastic? “That bulletin is unforgiveable. I can’t be friends with them anymore.” Click. Sure, some people are bulletin-ridiculous. But who reads them anyway….
Me. Sometimes..

I want to move forward, but I don’t wanna give up what I have. It seems like alot of people can move on with there lives, move towards a goal, and slowly develop a new beginning in another city or state straight out of high school. I’m going to do that probably, and it will be fun and new and exciting, but I it takes sacrifice to get there, and it’s a big one.
I have stayed friends with all my buddies from high school, and made new ones here, and hang out regularly with friends. Logically it seems like the best way to get from one point to another is to work hard, and working takes time, and that’s time not spent with friends. I will say I am lazy, but I love creating and maintaining relationship too, I don’t wanna be a “hi, how are you. great, seeya next year!” kinda fella. But I realize in some cases it’s inevitable.
Let’s stay close. Okay?
