• You Have No Idea What My Dreams Can Show You (6/17/07) [View | Hide]

  No body knows the dreams this head holds The aspirations of this heart The potentials of this soul No body knows the reasons for the these tears The foundations of these walls The meanings of these words You have no idea what my dreams can show you What my aspirations can make you feel What my potential will do for you Some day, someone will dry these tears My walls will crumble And you will understand the words that I say My dreams can show you the world

• My Life's Motto (5/2/07) [View | Hide]

  "You never know." If you stop to think about it, it's totally true. You never know what's going to happen from one minute to the next. You can think that you know..you can plan all you want...but there always things that you cannot help. Everyone is planning their lives out. For this summer, next semester, after college...But all of those plans can be swept away. I know it's slightly depressing to think about, but it's true. People never really think about this. Last night, my friend Joseph and I were in down town Tuscaloosa and we saw a whole bunch of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances. I don't know the story, but I'm assuming this girl was leaving or going to the bar on the corner and was hit by a car. She definitely was not moving. And she was more than likely a college student. A college student with plans for the future just like everyone else. The whole incident just started a whole chain reaction in my head of thoughts. What if that had been me? What if it had been one of my friends? Anyways, I'm getting away from the point.. I could say that "Yeah! I'm gunna live my life to fullest! Everyday!" Haha, but yeah, I know that craps not going to happen. It's just something to think about. But I will say somethings because who knows, I may never get a chance to say it. To all my close friends that have been there for me, especially as of late, you have no idea how much it means to me. We all know it's hard for me to say certain things and sometimes it seems like I really don't appreciate it..but I hope you all do know how much I love you all and how much you mean to me. On the plus side of never knowing... That's usually when you meet the people that are going to mean the most in your life. You never know when you're going to meet those people, and they're usually the ones that will leave the best impressions on your life and heart. I never thought I'd meet someone like Ashlynn in Mr. Meyers' Intergrated Science class. I never thought I'd meet someone like Amanda at orientation. I never thought a girl like Bri would steal my seat on the bus in middle school :). Or those certain people you mind getting compliments from. You know who you are, haha. My point is...We live our lives not knowing what's going to happen. It's hard for most people to comprehend and even accept because everyone wants complete control. But the fact of the matter is, you're never going to be happy unless you accept it. And I'm coming to that point in my life where I'm about at that point. Shit happens. Great things happen. You never know.

• Live With No Regrets (5/2/07) [View | Hide]

  So I was randomly contemplating this as I was walking back from spanish today while listening to my iPod. I don't really remember which song it was, but one line stuck in my head.."live with no regrets". Immediately I began to think how ridiculous that statement is. If someone says "Oh my gosh, I totally regret such and such". Everyone's first reaction is to say "It's okay, you shouldn't regret anything you do." That my friends, is what I call bullshit. Regret does not simply mean agonizing over a mistake for the rest of your life. Regret is what makes the world go round. It's our constant reminder of what we've done wrong, and hopefully we'll never make the same mistake twice. A person can not go through life never regretting anything. It is only human nature to wish we had not done something we did. There will always be the: "I wish I hadn't dated him/her..." "I wish I hadn't skipped that class..." "I wish I hadn't said that..." etc. etc. Regret is not a life long thing, typically. If we didn't regret, would we ever learn from our mistakes? There are many things in life I regret. I do not agonize of it. It serves as a reminder. So don't be afraid to regret. Don't be afraid to recognize your mistakes

• Life And It's Decisions - The Easy Way Out (5/2/07) [View | Hide]

  Life and it's Decisions...The Easy Way Out So I was watching this movie and I didn't expect it to be deep at all until I heard this quote. "I think of life as a comic strip. Up close...it's nothing but a bunch of dots. You don't know what they're going to create, it's just a big jumble. But when you look at from a distance, you see the big picture." When I heard this, I couldn't believe how true it really was. We never know what the events in our life are going to build up to. Whether you believe that your path has already been set out for you...you believe that God controls the majority of what happens to you...or even if you dont believe in fate or God...every event...every day...and every second of your life builds up to something. It's all a matter of cause and effect. Something so small and simple can affect you in a later situation in a big way. Sometimes you're faced with a fork in the road. A decision that can change your life forever. Normally, one way is the long and difficult way, the road less traveled. The other is the easy way, the road that you know you're going to be okay. Most people would say take the difficult way. That whatever happens is going to make you a stronger person. To take the path that no one else takes and to be an individual. My friends, this is not always the case. It's okay to take the easy way out. I doesn't matter what people say...they call you weak and that you're not living your life. You do what you know is best for you. Sure, taking a risk is sometimes a good thing. And it's your decision. Don't let people tell you what's best for you. Make your own dots in your comic. Do whats best for you. If it's the hard way or the easy way, it's your choice

Comment left on: 11/9/09 10:20 PM Haha. Yeah. They made me laugh from time to time. I was getting pretty nervous for a while too. I had faith they'd get it done though. People around me were starting to panic a bit when LSU got ahead. Some of the LSU fans were jeering at the student section and then the insults started flying...lol
