L.A. Candy

So, I just got done reading my first book other than school on my own yesterday. It is called
"L.A. Candy" by no other than Lauren Conrad. It is her first out of three books she will be writing. The next book in the series is said to be released in Feb '10.

In my opinion this book was great from start to finish. It is about a girl named Jane and her best friend Scarlett that move to LA to start new and fresh lives. They knew exactly what they would be getting into. Late nights at the clubs, shopping on Melrose, and seeing celebrities everywhere they went. However, they did not know that they would soon be a celebrity themselves. Both Jane and Scarlett got the chance to be on a new reality tv show, but what they didn't know was that their lives would never be the same again.

Sometimes you have to let go....

I have experienced and learned that "sometimes you just have to let go" let go of friends, different temptations, things around you, bad habits, etc. One thing I have let go of recently is smoking. I got in and out real quick. I was never an addicted smoker at all. I probably have only smoked roughly 15-20 cigarettes in my lifetime starting when I was 19 years old. Some people smoke that in a day or two for every day of their lives. I realized that smoking is not me at all and it was something I had to try for myself. Also, it is obviously not good for the lungs. I had to let go to better prepare a longer life!!

Another thing I have find myself letting go is friendships. Yes, friends come and go, but in my 20 years I have only "had" to let go of one friendship. It wasn't easy, and definitely took time. In the situations I was in I could not be friends with this person any more.

So, to get to my point sometimes you have to let go. For better or for worse. You think it may be worse at first, but in the long run it will be for better. It's like the rain comes first, and after that you will get some sun and a nice little rainbow. Don't be afraid to let go. Don't be afraid to hurt someone. Eventually everything will be alright my friends! Trust me, I know.

Nothin stays the same forever, but some things just get better

Reflecting back on my life I have learned that "nothing stays the same FOREVER, but some things get better". Things that we want in our lives change and at some point are there anymore. A very easy example of this is friends. We have friends in our life that we see in our lives 10 or so years from now, but it doesnt even make it past 1 or 2 years. People are constantly changing and you may think you know, but we will never know what is next. Only "TIME WILL TELL". I look back from my freshman year in High School so much has gone down and I never thought I would end up the way I am today w/ the friends I have. It's not how we always picture it to be. Although, some things did get better that have been in my life. It didnt stay the same, but GOT BETTER.

So, I want to encourage you all to live for the present and not for the future. Nothing stays the same forever, and you never know what you got till its gone.

Put others down, To fill us up...Oppressing me will oppress you

I'm sure a lot of us can relate to this "TITLE". At one time or another we all fill down in our lives. It could be because a friend/family member let you down, your having a rough day, you mad, etc. When this happens we want to feel good. So, what do we do? We do thinks like make fun of other people and try to hurt someone(not in a physical way) to fill us up and make sure we feel good about ourselves. I used to be this way, but am not anymore. There are ways around this people. From my experiences when I am down which really doesn't happen often I Stay alone and think about things, go on an escapade(I have my spots), talk to a best friend about my situation, talk to God, or listen to music. All of those things distract me from even think about putting someone down to fill me up. I encourage you all to find different ways to build yourself back up rather than to turn to someone and tear them down to build yourself back up. In the end hurting someone else, will hurt you in other words "What goes around, comes back around"

What you see is what you get

"You should take me as I am". Almost a lot of the times at least for me "1st impressions are everything". I have a bad first impression, its probably bad for future encounters with that person. What I see from someone from the first impressions is what I get. I think not, I don't fully believe in this "quote at all". It's 50/50 for me. What you see is not always what you get!

SUMMA SUMMA SUMMA SUMMA TIME

It has been a very long, but good weekend with all of my friends. I'm not going to write about much just tell you about my summer a little so far. My summer has been great and I'm loving it. This past weekend was great. Friday I worked all morning and afternoon then went to Clifton w/ Huggs and did it big. On Saturday I had to get a new battery for my car ughh, then I went to a soccer tournament to see my Mom's team play. They tied 2-2. After that I went to a cook-out that was pretty sweet. Umm then went to a friends house and sat around a fire for a lil then headed out to Miami and did it big out there. Sunday I worked all day and after work I went to a flag football game hahah. They won their first game (1-4). Then came home and smashed on the food that my Dad grilled then went to a friends house to chill w/ the boys. Tonight, I'm going to my friends house to do it big w/ the boys. Tomorrow hopefully going to the Reds Game. The rest of the week I plan on watching my college baseball team play baseball for the national tournament in Mason on Wed and Thursday! I'll write something worth reading soon.....

Have a good day/night all!

Things aint always set in stone, Let me know

You followers of mine may have seen my "TITLE" on my facebook status more than a few times or my away message more than a few times. It comes from my favorite song by Kanye West called "Street Lights" If you have never heard it I highly suggest it. It's a great song from the words to the beats.

Anyways surprise surprise to everyone THINGS and PEOPLE change. I happen to be one of them. Yes, It is cool to picture where your life may be in a year with friends, a job, different activities etc. The truth is "THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS CHANGING". Things a lot of the time don't end up the way we see them in our head. I know this from experience and why my "TITLE" sticks out to me so much now in this point in my life. All good things must at some point come to an end. I really never look into the future anymore and imagine how it will be, because I don't want to see everything that I want to happen in my PERFECT WORLD just to see it never happen in other words I look at it as I don't want to let myself down.

So, just remember things and people change. Friendships may come to an halt, people who you see one day may not be there the next etc. So, "Things aint always set it stone, Let me know!!" And if they are........Let me know

Things must get WORSE, before they get BETTER

Things must get WORSE, before they get BETTER. Another way I thought of saying it was "It must rain, before we get a rainbow". This is very very true. I believe in it strongly through life experiences and I'm sure a lot of you also may find this true. I have found this saying true through a lot of life events, but I am only going to talk briefly about two of them:

Relationship with God- Growing up I grew up going to Church every Sunday, but I really didn't know to come God on my own till freshman/sophomore year in High School. Young Life camp of my Sophomore year changed my life and brought me real close to God. I started to slip and was tempted by things and influence's from friends did not help. I started to do and try things that I never said I would do or try and also friends and other outsiders thought I would never do or try. I started to become a failure to God. I was lost for a couple months in my life. It was a bad part of my life that I never want to go back to EVER. After all the bad happened came GOOD again. I was FOUND. Now, I'm closer and still getting closer to God as I type. It's a great life! You should try.

Relationship with friends- A couple of my best friends and I have been through a lot. A lot a lot. That only gets us to where we are today. I have had 3 best friends in the past that our relationship between each other got so bad that I really didn't think we would be best friends today. You must go through those stages for a relationship to get better. Some of the reasons may have been stupid, but other times they were very reasonable. I'm glad that I went through that stage in my life. It made me who I am today and also made our best friendship STRONGER THAN EVER! I am still best friends with 2 of the people and I see both of them being LIFE LONG FRIENDS, and the other one just kind of faded away. Everything happens for a reason.

I did not get into to much detail about either situation, but I just wanted you readers to really take "Things must get WORSE, before they get BETTER" into account. It is very true. I encourage you to think about a time in your life where something was worse than ever, and they eventually got better. It usually doesn't take a day or a week to heal these things. It takes time!

ECONOMY---Geeze, people it will keep getting worse, but it will get better!!

I put my walls up....Who will tear them down?

So, one of my good friends always sends me QOD(Quotes of the day). I get one probably like 4 times a week. I enjoy getting them and look forward to it everyday. I like all of them, but one really stuck out to me the other day that she sent me because it relates to me. It read "Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep people away, but to see who cares enough to tear those walls down". My initial reaction was like that is so deep then about 30 seconds later I said to myself " Wow, I do that to so many people". I talked about in a previous post about I like to only stay in my comfort zone and that's it, and I think that is a lot of why I put WALLS UP and don't like to let a lot of people in which plenty of outsiders have confronted me about in the past. In the end when it comes down to it I'm not trying to shut myself from the world or keep from letting people to get to know me, it's more like when I put those walls up who cares enough to tear down those walls as the quote says. There are a lot of people that have torn down those walls when I put them up, and basically all those people are my BEST FRIENDS!!! So, thanks to all of you for loving me so much when I put those walls up you tore those down. It means a lot and that's the difference between our friendship and others I may have.

If you give, something will come in return

This was brought upon me today at Church. Obviously, I have heard this before and I'm sure you have heard quotes very similar to this. It just refreshed my brain this morning. If you give something, you will receive something in return. It doesn't matter what or to who you give too. You can be giving to the poor, the church, friends, family etc. The only problem now is what do we receive in return when we give ? A lot of times it's not what we EXPECT to be given to in return which is why a lot of people may or may not like or believe in this quote. It can be something very little that we may not notice or something big that we definitely notice. Either way something will always be coming your way in return. So, I encourage everyone and I need to be motivated to GIVE instead of the one that is always RECEIVING, because in the end when you GIVE you will RECEIVE. So, you will be RECEIVING either way, but it's the first step of GIVING we need to push to ourselves and others. WWJD?

Best friend traits

I'm the kind of person that doesn't like to go outside of my comfort zone at all. I like to keep a few keep close to me and that's okay with me. Everyone else is either just there or means a little to me. The ones I do care about the most are who I call my "BEST FRIENDS". Best friends take time to establish for me, and there are somethings I look in people to call them a best friend. Not in any kind of order:

1). Loyalty- This pretty much speaks for itself

2). Trust- Trust is VERY BIG thing for me. If your my best friend I have to be able to "trust you". If that trust ever breaks I'm the kind of person that will never trust you again or will take a VERY LONG time to regain that trust. I don't care who you are.

3). Funny/Serious- a best friend that is funny and can make me laugh, but at the same time when it comes down to I can be serious with and feel comfortable having a deep conversations with.

4.)Both Ways- I don't know a word for this, but "It takes two". A best friend that I don't have to call/text all the time. I'm the kind of person where my best friends usually always call/text me first to plan something growing up. So, now I'm always in that routine, but I still make a big effort to be that person. So, everything goes both ways.

I have all the best friends I want or need in this world right now. They all have these traits above that I just listed. Some of my best friends I have been friends with forever and some just a year or two that I met in college. I love all my best friends to death, and I look forward to keep growing in each friendship I have.

As I look back.....

Well, Im at home for the summer maybe. I might be living in PA for the summer I will find out Monday. I have two papers left to turn in then I can say I am finally done with everything, but since I'm home and not at Geneva anymore I would just like to reflect, look back, and tell you some of my highlights of my sophomore year. I accomplished a lot of goals that I set for myself, I built some friendships, I made new friends, I am still and always will be a believer in the one that saved me(John 14:6), and lastly its another chapter done in my book, another phase, and another story to tell.

Highlights/Memories of my Sophomore year are as follows:

1. Leading goal scorer of the Geneva Men's soccer team
2. Recieving the offsenive player of the year award voted by my teammates
3. Honorable mentions and making 2nd team in the PAC and East Region
4. Scoring the first goal of the season vs. Wilmington which is a school that recruited me. Im still bitter we lost 2-1
5. Scoring 2 goals in our match vs. Roberts Wesleyan the biggest game of the year
6. Getting a good grade in Marketing which is my major
7. Being best friends with Lauren Ashley Londino the First
8. My walk with Christ
9. Buttermilk Falls get aways, sometimes with friends(Where I free my mind)
10.Let's just say "CAR NIGHTS"
11.LL being an "ALL AMERICAN" Congrats again
12.Car rides bumpin w/ Chris
13.Trips to Pittsburgh
14.Hookah!
15. Being young and reckless with my best friends
16.Lil Wayne concert with Chris and Leah
17. Britney Spears concert(Weekend when Kara and Courtney came to visit)
18. A lot more Highlights/Memories.....

My most memorable moment of the whole entire year and the most fun I prolly had was when I performed "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West at MGN(My Generation Night)

Looking back it has been a great year and I cant wait to see waht the fall semester has in store for me!

Hard work pays off....

This past week/weekend really showed me how "HARD WORK PAYS OFF". There were a couple different things that factored into everything not to mention I was not getting a lot to sleep last week due to so much going on, me thinking and worrying about things, etc.

1. I got the opportunity to help open MGN(My Generation Night) For those of you who don't know what this is, it is basically a big concert where people from Geneva take the stage and perform songs and do skits from our generation. This was on a Friday

2. Had a final in HR on Friday

3. Had a 15 min presentation to present to the class with my marketing group.

Well, by time Wednesday hit of last week I started to get worried about lot of things. MGN and me memorizing all the words to "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West, I absolutely had to get a good grade on my HR final, and lastly what role am I going to play in my 15 minute presentation with my group. While all of this is going on I kept in my "No stress, love, live life, proceed, progress". Well, Thursday hit and I was so nervous about all three things above. I had not a lot of time to study for my HR final, I had rehearsal for MGN tonight at the same time my Marketing group was meeting to practice presenting our marketing plan so I came late to that and did not get to practice for that. It was all to much and I did not know how I was going to handle it. Before I go any further let me tell you about my rehearsal. I get there and they tell me they want me to do the first verse. I was excited, but at the same time really nervous because previously "student activities" had to me I was only going to do the second verse so that put a lot more pressure on me. So, during rehearsals Im on stage and basically just kind of had the mic in my hand the whole time and rapped a few lines because I did not know any of the words. That is basically how that ended. So, I said the "BIG SHOW" is tomorrow and I don't know the words what am I going to do and by this time It was 10:30 pm and I still needed to study for my HR final and meet w/ my group. I met w/ my group and did not get to practice because I was so late. So, after everyone left I memorized the whole song. It didn't take me but 20 mins. It was only song I really listened to up till the big show. After that I went to my room and wrote out on note cards what I was going to say for the 15 mins presentation and also went over and practiced it that night, but still did not study for my final. I woke up early to study for it before class. I'm not sure how I did, but I think I did fairly well. The presentations we ended up getting a 94% on it aka an "A" I was extremely happy and lastly, MGN and my performance was an success. Said by many students at Geneva I was the best performance of the night.

So, I want to encourage you all to have no worries through tough times. Hard work pays off. In my situation I had 3 big things in one day and did fairly well in every situation. Strive for the best and NEVER GIVE UP! After the success comes smiles from all the hard work!

If at first you dont succeed dust yourself off and TRY AGAIN

This is a quote that most of us has heard before or have seen something similar to in the past. It is a quote I strongly believe in and usually think about it a lot when: I recieve a bad test grade, have a poor performance during a soccer game, or anything that involves getting better at. Well this coming Friday we have a huge event at our school called MGN(My Generation Night). It is where many people throughtout the campus audition for a chance to perform one of there favorite songs on a big stage in front of the whole school. Well, Im a sophomore now in college, and last year I auditioned and did not get selected to perform in the show. I did not let rejection bring me down so I "TRIED AGAIN" this year. I auditioned along with 40+ plus acts and like last year I did not get selected. I acted like I didnt care that much, but I actually really did did because number one I tried again and failed and two I did so much better than last year. Well, a good friend of mine once told me "a pride becomes before a fall". It was also brought to my attention that "The Good Book" tells us that. That really stuck out to me just because I was so confident I would get the spot this year, and just knew rejection would not come my way twice for the same event. However, it did, but the good news is the judges saw and noticed that I worked really hard and recently asked me to be in the show but to rap/sing a song that they had previously selected. Of course I said yes. So, I encourage all of you not to get DISCOURAGED in anything you do, and dont be afriad to fail because we all fail, fail more than once. Dont give up with God's love you'll survive! TRY AGAIN! If you don't your not hurint anyone besides yourself.

It always feels good to be home. Home free's the mind

I went home this past weekend w/ a friend and it was a great trip. The main reason I went home was to bring some things home so I wouldnt have to fill my car w/ all my belongings and also to get off campus, because I really needed it at this point in my life. There has been a lot on my mind lately, and I new going home would be the remedy. A remedy it was. Over the weekend I filled my days with activities to do so I wouldnt have to worry about a thing. Some of my bestfriends were home so it was really nice to chill with them all weekend. I felt so comfortable at home and wanted to stay home till the fall semester. I cant wait to be back at home in a week in a half to start working, doing some summer classes, hanging with all my friends, and just be free again! There are a lot of times I dont feel free at Geneva due to its rules as a Christian College. You think it would be the other way around, but I feel more free at home than college. Summer will be here in about a week in a half for me and with that time Im going spend it with the books, my best friends, and enjoying the nice weather off or on campus somewhere! While I was at home I was free. Home free's the mind......

Don't be to quick to judge, Don't judge a book by its cover

Everyone is guilty of this, and I am REALLY guilty. I try my hardest not to judge to quick, but it never works that way. I judge to quick just by peoples actions, what I hear, or what people may wear. All of us do this from time to time. When I actually get to know that person that I am judging and they turn out to be really nice, and someone cool to hang out that is when we feel bad all along. It has happened to me plenty of times this school year, and I feel sorry for myself at sometimes for doing so. The goods news is though, and am improving and getting better! So, I encourage all of you readers not to step so far into my footsteps. Get to know someone, and don't judge. I don't know where in the Bible where it says this, but it says " Only God can judge me". I believe in that 100%. Only God can jugde me(Bruce Fox) so I really don't care what others think of me when they are judging me. However, I should not be the judge of people only God.

NO STRESS.LOVE.LIVE LIFE.PROCEED.PROGRESS

A lot of you know that my "heading" is my favorite quote in the world. I live by it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, and second by second. I have it surrounded by me so I will never forget aka right by my bed. What a lot of people dont know is why it means so much to me so I am going to tell you all.

First, Im going to start with the background of the quote. The quote comes from a song called "Comfortable" by my favorite all time rapper Lil Wayne. It is a great song and I suggest you download it.

In this world ther are 5 things, and no more than 5 things that I truely truely love and hold in my heart at all time no matter what. In this order they are:

1) God
2) Family
3) Best friends/friends
4) Soccer
5) Music

Yea, thats right. That is what I love in life the most in that order. All of them relate to my favorite quote "No Stress.Love.Live life.Proceed.Progress. Im not going to tell you how it relates to each and every single one. You can ask me for that, but I will give you one example and that is God.

God teaches to have no stress, he is the author of love and we are to love him and everyone else. Also, in the Bible it tells us to live life to the fullest. Lastly, In our relationship with God we are to proceed with it, and then progress.

I hope that all makes sense to you all. Lastly, I wanted to leave you with some of my other quotes I love and live by.

"Dont you ever get to comfortable" - Lil Wayne
"It is what it is, It's not always fair" Lauren Conrad
"We are preordained, and filled with purpose"- My Bishop said that one sermon, it might be int he bible?
"Nobody can make you feel inferior unless you let them"- Head Womens Coach of Rutgers
"Take me as I am or have nothing at all"- Mary J. Blige
"Just be yourself, and let that be your guide" Janet Jackson
"I am who I am"- The Bible.
"Friends come and friends may go, My friend your real I know, True self you have shown, Your alright with me"- Janet Jackson

There you go. There are plenty others, but those stick out to me the most right now.

You make mistakes and learn from them

Tonight, I went to a SAAC event that was really good. They hosted a speaker, his name was Aaron Cooksey. He told his story to all of the athletes at Geneva, but there were also some non-athletes there aka they took up a few seats that I could have sat in. Im still bitter about that. However, he spoke on Drunk driving and his experiences while drinking and driving. He said a lot of things that stuck out to me during the course of his speech, but one thing that really struck me is when he said "You make mistakes and learn from them". Yes, I have heard that quote plenty of times, but not coming from someones testimony. I think that is why it struck me so much than anyone else that just has randomly told me so.

I have made a lot of mistakes in the past and Im currently still making mistakes. All the mistakes that I have made in the past have made me the person who I am today. Although mistakes are not a good thing I think it is imperative we as individuals make mistakes on a regular basis even though we do not want to. It's always good to make BIG MISTAKES too sometimes. We make the mistake, we learn from them and we can take that experience and share it to others so that they dont make the same mistake you once did. So, mistakes will come upon you at somepoint. Make the mistake, but at the same time please please I encourage all of you to learn, and take something away from it!

Please visit Aaron Cooksey site and spread the word about him. His story is really good, and if you want to hear his story just ask me and I would be glad to share his story with you.

Dont forget to turn off the lights

Well, last week on Tuesday I believe it was I drove down to campus due to the inclement weather. It was snowing and windy and if you know me well enough you know I dont walk in those conditions. So, I park my car and go about my day with classes and all. It's toward the end of the day to leave campus so I go out to my car and can not get into. My lock/unlock button on my key was not working and for a second I thought I was not going to get into my car and would have to call a locksmith. I stood outside of my car for a second and thought and realized I can get into my car with just my key. It has been so long I have never used my key to get into my car that I just forgot. Well I got into my car and realized that my battery was dead. " DONT FORGET TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS ". Umm thank God Chris was only a phone call away, and he was able to come down to use him car to jump-start it. Well a week and a day later I drove to campus due to the cold weather and I just dont walk in cold weather. We had soccer practice so I drove to campus because I didnt wanna have to walk back up with the tired legs. If your an athlete you know what I mean. After soccer practice I get to my car and once again my battery is dead. " DONT FORGET TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS". Thank God once again Chris was there to rescue you me. I was really bitter at myself, because that was the second time time in two weeks and I was kind of frustrated because I did kind of bad at practice. So, next week or better yet this week I hope this same event does not occur again.

If you have the same issue as me then remember to turn off your lights before you turn off your engine and if you dont then check while you walk to your destination. You live and learn and maybe one day somebody wont be there to help me which would really suck so I need to always remember "TO TURN OFF MY LIGHTS"

Shout out to Kate Entz!

Sometimes you just have to say "NO" to things

Usually anything going on with my friends for me the answer is always "YES" I want to do this or I want to do that. That has changed a lot since Christmas Break and Im getting really really good at it. My parents have always told me "sometime you just have to say no to things" and since then it has really stucked to me, just because I have been in tight situations where I had to say no. For example, the cash flow wasnt right, environment wasnt right(Alchohol), etc..For me it used to be I just HAD to do something. Yes or no was never even an option. So, I thank my parents for stressing to me over the years that I have to say no to things!

If are in the same boat as I was once I encourage you to do the same thing for your own good. Yes, it may take some time. It took me along time. Dont feel pressured all the time, and at the end of the day make sure whatever your doing is pleasing and making you happy, and something that you wont regret later down the road. I know I have a lot of those and def. have cut back.
"You live and learn". I hope that is some helpful advice to all!

Give a dog your heart, and he'll give you his

Well last night around 2 something in the morning did I ever think I would be ballin in tears. One, I have only cried aka balling in tears prolly 5/6 occasions in my life and Two, Idk lol. Well, I got home for the night and decided to watch Marley and Me. It was an alright movie overall I thought it was going to be a lot better. I almost fell asleep but forced myself to stay awake cause I wanted to see the end. Well, if you havent seen the movie before you might want to stop reading here because im going to ruin the end for you in the next couple lines. If you have seen it know you Marley's stomach was reversed/twisted or w/e upside down due to him eating/drinking to fast. Most dogs dont survive from this the vetenerian said. We'll eventually Marley would lay down and would not get up just because he physically couldnt and was to comfortable laying down, and at the very end the doctor put him to sleep.

Well, something like this happened to my first and favorite dog Raymond. He was a boxer and boxers have real bad stomach issues. He got really sick one week, and he got surgery to see what was wrong with him. The results were going to be in on Mon. However, Raymond went down on Saturday and would/coudlnt get up. I wont get into much detail, but we took him to the clinic and we had found out he had went into shock. He got out of shock eventually, but was still really doing bad. I left the clinic because I had work, but did not want to because I knew Raymond was really really sick and he was my brother and I wanted to be there for him like a brother. I went to work and on my break and called my Mom and asked her "Wheres Raymond? How is he doing?. She responds " We had him put to sleep". My response was "What"????. She told me " We brought him home and (Raymond did somethings that werent right so I wont say it on this) we decided we werent going to let him suffer to we took him back to the clinic and put him to sleep. I kind of hung up the phone and continued to drive to my HS and just cried my eyes out. It was a sad day. Raymond was a smart, cute, fun dog to be around at all times. So Marley's story reminded me of Raymonds a lot alot and I dont think I could ever watch that movie again.
"Give a dog your heart, and he'll give you his"

Best Friends

I actually dont know what to write about, because there was no life lessons or nething today mainly because I am still sick aka in bed all day ughh. So, I guess I'll give a shout out to all my best friends and say something nice/positive about each one and I hope your still keeping up on my blog.

Chris Morschl- Chris is the first person that stuck out to me at Geneva during Preview Weekend. Same birthday and all. We ended up living across from each other Freshman year and got real close and even closer this year. He is sweet and someone I can always count on!

Courtney Marcum- Courtney is my oldest friend. We have been best friends since the 6th grade. It is great to see a friendship last that long, and for it to keep on going as of today. Anytime I need to laugh I can always count on her to make me laugh.

Kara Hamilton- Kara haha. We have been friends since the 9th grade. Kara is also someone I can always count on to make me laugh.

Zac Buffalini- Zac is sweet. I just met him this past year, and we got real close during soccer season. He is someone I can call up anytime to talk to if im feeling down or something is bothering me.

Leah Bingamin- Ahh Leah. Im still a little bitter she is not at Geneva, but you must go where you see the light for yourself. Leah is someone I can also always count on and call up anytime. Always makes me smile

Lauren Ashley Londino the First- Lauren and I have big dreams that hopefully one day we can reach. Phi 4:13 is a verse that sticks out to me. Lauren is great. She can always make me laugh and when it comes down it I can get serious with her.

Kate Entz- Kate and I are always the minorities usually hahah. Anywho Kate and I just recently became biffs as she says second semester. She can make laughs, and gives good advice when I need it.

Friends come and friends may go
My friend your real I know
True self you have shown

What is the remedy?

Remedy, Remedy, Oh what is the remedy. So, last night I had a soar throat. I dont really know what for Im assuming its from singing/rapping in the car on the way home :). My voice is getting really good. Practice makes perfect. So, anywho i went to bed early cause my soar throat and I was tired from the drive. In the middle of the night I woke up really really really sick. My body was physically was weak and I could barely walk. It was really bad. I went back to sleep and woke up in the morning even sicker. I did not get out of bed till like 3:30 because I needed motivation to get up and I felt like I couldnt physically get up. I was right. A couple of times I almost fell over. It was awful. Im glad noone saw me today, because it was like death. The worst part was I had to drive to my job which is about 25 mins. I HAD TOO. It was awful the whole time I was there I felt sooo bad. On my way home driving I was a complete mess I drove sooo slow and just wanted to get home but I could not drive fast cause my reaction time was so slow. Well I have been in bed for the majority of the day besides prolly 2 hours. I hope to be better by tomorrow because me and my friends are suppose to go to the Red's game. I havent felt this way in a long time and I dont know why God chose this for me? What is the remedy?

You always miss a best/good friend

Well, first let me start off by telling you that I am new to this and Im just trying it out. So, it could be temporary thing or I may follow up with it for a long time. Who knows? I guess we'll see soon enough. Secondly, I want to thank one of my best friends Lauren Ashley Londino the First for inspiring me to become a blogger! Well let me get started on my first posting.

"You always miss a best/good friend". I'll start with this because it has been on my mind the most the past week or so.

I have 5 or 6 best friends and a lot of good friends. However, in the past i'd say year or so I lost both a best and a really good friend of mine. I'd say that is something huge in someones life, and had me thinking and pondering about it from now still till this day. I have a good friend back. It's kind of like we are still good friends after about of severaly months prolly around a year or so of not speaking for certain reasons. As of now, we are working on the friendship, and working together to build it back to where it was and maybe it can grow from there. Im not scared to admitt while we werent speaking, I really did miss the good 'ol times at the beginning of our freshmen year and glad to have him back in my life. You always miss a good friend

I think you can only miss a best friend for so long then everything kind of fades away atleast from my experience. Im the kind of person where I can not forgive someone very easily at all, and that part about me will never change. I have changed a lot over the past year and it has been for the good and for the bad. The bad, because I lost a best friend and good because I am closer to God and I have open my eyes to a lot of new things aka the world. With my change it brings new people and things into my life, that I cant bring some friends and things into. At the end of the day I am content with that. I have some of the best friends in the world right now and hope to keep my relationship with them as long as possible aka lifetime.

Well, this post is out of order, doesnt make sense, and whatever but I did not want to go into depth of everything within my friendships. Online, I just dont do that. It's immature and not the right way. So, at the end of the day if I could tell you ALL one quote about friendships to leave you with it is this.

"It is what it is, It's not always fair".
