Two Sparrows

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They've heard it's all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they'll never make it, love says they will

All Smiles...

Not only is today a friend's birthday (Happy Birthday, Jaime!), but it is the start of something new, something interesting, and something even kind of scary for me...

But I'm looking forward to it!

The Stuff Dreams are Made Of

Gay pink flashlights.
McDonald's oldies.
The "Big Question."
First through third bases.

Haha... all in a night's work.

Anyone reading this post is sure to shit their pants.

But it was the best night of my life in recent memory :-)

What Time?

I've barely been able to write...

This week's been so busy my head is nearly spinning.

What I need more than anything...

Is a holiday.

The Next Bash

I have begun to lay down the initial plans for Summer Bash '06, the follow-up to Bowling Bash Winter '06.

I'll have details online soon, and the invitations out even sooner.

Closing Time

It's 12:30am on a cold Thursday morning...
I'm just home from B-Dubs...

I know who I want to take me home...

Little Things

Going up
when coming down
scratch away
it's the little things that kill
tearing at my brains again
the little things that kill...

- Bush - Little Things

In honor of all those breakups that have sucked in the world.

Sunday Night Blues

*sigh*

Another week is upon us.

Spring, please get here soon!

The Life, the Love

I've been ridiculed about my blog. I've been rejected from going to parties. I've been told I'm drunk, when I'm perfectly focused.

I've decided to make today the kickoff to my summer. Yes, the official start of spring is just around the corner (like, this week), but I see no reason to wait for warming weather to get here to have a good time outside.

Things with Lacey outright suck... well, they would if was I wasn't so damn carefree about the whole situation. I have so many other things, people, and places on my mind that I don't find the time to stress over her. Beautiful, I say.

Today I ready my summer gear (clothes, games, and my bike). I think tomorrow after work I'll go out with a friend that I've sorely neglected :-(

New Stuff!

I've added a link in my Links menu that displays my entire Winamp playlist - in turn reflecting my entire MP3 library. I'll also update it from time to time, as my current music-purchase habits put me at about 20 to 30 new songs every month. Check it out.

Mr. Right.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."


Isn't this so true, ladies? :-)

In Court...

So sue me, I didn't post yesterday.

It's been a lazy weekend indeed.

But the rebirth is in full swing. Things feel so much like early 2000, right as my life came together and I met the one person... that one... yes, Lacey...

It's as if I'm rediscovering myself all over again, much as I did throughout high school.

I can't wait to start school tomorrow.

Stalemate

I find that my attention keeps waving between two stories that I'm currently working on, as if I have reoccuring A.D.D.

"Blocchi" or "Almost Gone" (by the way, I found a new name for "Almost Home 2"...)

I think today will be Blocchi.

The Savior

I feel invigorated.

Like someone pushed “reset” on my life, my life feels like it is starting over, as if I have a second chance to define who I am. All this from four days in the Smoky Mountains.

Is it a chance to be a new me?

I’m not sure – right now I’m having a huge feeling of nostalgia. The music in my ears are the mixed jams of Kid Rock and Bush – with the latter letting a million memories of times gone by pour into my waking conscious, reminding me of who I used to be in the pre-Lacey days.

Not dependant on any one person or thought, my mind and creativity wondering from one thing to the next, trying to discover and make sense of the world around me.

Today I feel as I if I should start my life over. My return to school won’t be a continuation of that of which I left, but my first steps into freeing my mind and body.

I was a C-average college student.
Now I’m an all-A powerhouse Computer Science Major.

My job at Meijer was stressful.
It will soon be a 6-hour-a-day mindless escape that more than handsomely pays the bills.

Girls used to be a mind-numbing chore.
Now I’ll simply do whatever I feel is the right thing with all my friends.

My mind remains clear over this wonderfully-warm spring break. Spring is just around the corner, and a four-year-in-the-making rebirth is soon to follow.

The river is loaded,
I’ve been there today,
Took it some questions,
She does me again,
I’d die in your arms,
If you were dead too,
Here comes a lie,
We will always be true.

- Little Things by Bush

I don’t wanna come back down from this cloud,
Taken me all this time to find out what I need.

- Comedown by Bush

Coming Home

I have returned.
The story soon.

My Finals Hours

The countdown begins...

This is my final post for what will be about a week. Tonight at 9:30 I leave for Cincinnati, where I'll stay the night with a friend before heading to Tennessee for a week-long camping trip. Cold weather, climbing, hiking... boiling water for survival... all in a college student's dream spring break!

Anywho, I'll be back in a week to share my stories, post some pics, and most importantly... sleep.

Have fun, my friends!

Thursday Blues

What a week. Here's the big blog I've been waiting to write...

First up: Last night was awesome. I worked my butt off on my CS 324 project until about 8pm, at which time I headed into BG to start the night. First flowers, then B-Dubs. It's not that we had a dozen (more?) people there last night that made it great... it was the fact that everyone there were people I loved being around. It was a blast.

Oh, and of course, it was Kelly's birthday. I was afraid to buy her flowers at first, being somewhat scared that she'd take it the wrong way. I believe that everyone deserves flowers on their birthday, so I made the extra effort to get some for her.

I had more to drink last night than I ever have. I was surprisingly calm about the night. Chilling with everyone, shooting the shit, laughing... everything about my life post-Lacey seemed to come together so well.

I've took some time yesterday to reflect on Jaime. She was right last week: we've known each other for 4 years now, and in that time, I never realized how good of friends we've become. I was afraid that her time at Disney would doom that, but nowadays I turn to her just as much as I used to turn to Lacey. I can comfortably be around Jaime and know that someone cares. That means a lot to me... thanks Jaime!

On the girl front... well, there isn't much of one right now. For the time being, I have to focus on finishing a project for tonight, packing for spring break, and of course... going on spring break.

Appalachian Mountains... here I come. I can't wait.

Tuesday Depressant

Sex, lies, rumors, backstabbing, cheating, whoring...

All in a day's work at that magical place called college...

The story soon...

In other news... I'm in love again!
