this is where boys become men, or men become boys, or boys stay boys....  finals are coming up, and i dont think that ive been thie stressed before for my tests.  the thing that sucks is that everything is riding upon this semester.  if i do poorly in school and my marks aren't good, i could be in big time trouble.  so if you would... pray for me to do well, lol

lots of tests and papers upcoming, which will give me even less time to relax and meditate.  the worst part about it is is the fact that when the weather starts to get beautiful, it usually means that we have to start studying (like now).  that sucks.  all i want to do is to go outside and enjoy the beauty of the day, but instead im stuck somewhere doin work.  you may ask, why don't i just go outside and study, but the answer for that is plainly that i wouldn't get a single thing done.  it's tough for me to get work done in the best of conditions, let alone be outside.  so for the next week and a half, im stuck. 

i do hope that all of you are successful in your tests and other finals... it's going to be a tough two weeks, but we got it.  remember to "play with heart"

'look at the stars'

I wanna live life, never be cruel,
I wanna live life, be good to you.

I wanna fly, never come down,
And live my life,
And have friends around.

We never change, do we?
We never learn to leave,
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
I wanna live life, always be true,
I wanna live life, and be good to you,
I wanna fly, and never come down,
And I live my life, and have friends around.

We never chang do we? no, no,
We never learn to bleed,
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
Making more friends would be easy.

Oh I don’t have a show to say,
Yes, and I sing every single day,
We never change do we?
We never learn to leave.

So, I wanna live life in a wooden house,
Making more friends would be easy,
I wanna live where the sun comes out.

'say hello to good times...'

as i was studying tonight, i was listenin to some good stuff, and this one set of lines really hit, i dont know why and how, but they did...

"Hey now, what is it you think you see?
My darling, now's the time to disgaree
Say hello to good times
Trade up for the fast ride
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets completely
Hey now, the past is told by those who win
My darling, what matters is what hasn't been
Hey now, we're wide awake and we're thinking
My darling, believe your voice can mean something"

have a good day tomorrow yinz!

"can i get a..."

it's going to be a tough week...a test and a paper due on weds and also trying to not think about going home for easter to see my city and my friends since christmas.  it should be a good time... so if you aren't there, you aren't cool enough to hang out with us (we'd probably just make your life not worth living for... yes, we're that cool). 

as the year progresses and i understand what i have to do in my life to succeed, there becomes a lot more responsibility with it...and by george, it sucks!  finally realizing that my actions pretty much take care of everything i do... if i don't do things perfect in everything i do, my life could fall to shambles.  and this isn't just talking about friends, but instead it's talking about everything, like: my faith, my friendships, my schoolwork, my responsibilty of being a leader, and so on.  having all this responsibilty put on me is first of all, good because i feel that i can handle it and feel as though i will do what is expected of me.  with that being said, i have to say that i'm terrified of actually following through and doing all of it.  i mean, what if i fall flat on my face?  will it be because i wasn't prepared for a test? a conversation with a friend? me not handling my actions right doesn't just affect me, but is affects everyone who is around me as well as others.  not doing things because thinking it's just one thing that i only have to do isn't the mentality that i should be in, because that excuse that i've used effects someone else as well.  ive heard people say "knowledge brings responsibility", and as i get older, i feel as though it couldn't be a truer statement.  i only pray that in the future i will man up to the responsibilities that i have and do them to the best of my ability.  my friends and i say "play with heart" as a joke, but what if i actually took that to heart and applied that to every area of my life... i think i would be seeing better results in every aspect of my life...

so my encouragement to you- "play with heart"  <---------- for real!

have a great week ladies and gentlemen
