"It needs no explanation, 'cause it all makes perfect sense."

"She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice,
A little crazy but it's nice.
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone.
'Cause she'll rage just like a river,
Then she'll beg you to forgive her.
Oh, she's every woman that I've ever known."



Hello there!
How was your weekend?
Mine was goooood.
I have a lot to talk about so let's get started.
-------
I spent the majority of my Saturday night at Blair's house, spending time with the basketball team. It was so much fun and I'm glad we all got
together. I'm starting to realize how important these girls are to me.
-------
Only three more basketball games left in this season. It's very.. Bittersweet. It was a tough, tough year for everyone involved, but there's only one way we can go-forward.
-------

Did you go outside this weekend?
It was absolutely wonderful. And it's about to get super duper cold!
-------

Over 2 hours of my Saturday were spent at this table.
Do you know how some things are just never understood? No matter how many times you think about them, or talk about them?
Well before Saturday, I had a lot of questions.
But Saturday night, I got a lot of answers.
I can't explain how good it feels to understand and be understood.
-------
I finally feel okay. I know I'm safe.

"I've got the world on a string,
I'm sittin' on a rainbow..
I've got that string around my finger.
What a world, what a life- I'm in love."

Goodnight, my friends.

"If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible."

Random letters to random people. You ready for this? 

-You are one of the sweetest people ever. I'm so glad to call you my friend. We have a great time when we're together and I usually don't trust girls, but I trust you. We've been friends for a long time, but this basketball season has brought us very close. I love you and I'll be here if you need me. 

-I can't thank you enough for sticking with me everyday. You're a great friend, and I know I don't tell you that enough. 

-I know I have a bad attitude sometimes, but so do you. I know I'm a brat sometimes, but so are you. I know I don't always listen, but neither do you. I guess it's kinda true, we're a lot alike. 

-You're a pretty cool guy. Your cold hands and warm spirit make me happy. You keep my best friend happy, so I like you. Keep it up. 

-I haven't spoken to you in awhile. Hope things are well. 

-If I was older, we'd be best friends. 

-I love you, you're my best friend, and I tell you this all the time and you get that look on your face and say "I know". You know I would die without you. I feel the need to protect you, and you always let me. You keep me sane and you can always make me smile. I love you so much, don't ever change. 

-I can't explain to you how much I want you to be happy. It kills me everyday. I love you to the moon and back, and way way farther. 

-I miss you. High school has torn us apart and I hate it. I love you and I know you love me but I wish we were closer. 

-I wish you would listen to me. I'm not very good at watching people screw up. I want you to be happy, but I don't want you to get hurt later. 

-You, my dear, are the most beautiful creature on this planet. You make me so incredibly happy. You understand me and want nothing but the best for me. You were my best friend first, and I'm never letting that part of us go. I can't explain to you how I feel, it would take forever. You still make me blush and say stupid things. I couldn't ask for more. I love you.

But I'll be fine, oh don't you worry.

Well hello there.
Lots to talk about, let's get started.
-
I had a very busy week.
It began with no school on Monday which was a super blessing.
Tuesday was a crappy day, and so was Wednesday, and so was Thursday... Oh, and Friday kinda sucked.
Sure, everyday has it's good parts, but in general, this week sucked.
-
I'm so ready for summer. I never thought I would say that. I used to dread summer. Summer to me was boring, lonely, and just plain bad. But, this summer I'm going to make it nice. My summer will begin with a trip to Puerto Rico! I plan on trying to find a job.. Maybe. I'm also going to color my hair back blond and spend a majority of my time in Granbury.
Yipeeeeee.
-
Some things have got to change... and fast.
----
I'm so tired, so I'm calling it a night.
Buttt, very soon will be my letters to random people.
Get readyyyy!
-----
Just some nice lyrics for y'all.



I think about life
And oh how it changes so fast
And oh how it’s so hard to last here
Waiting for something to give

I think about time
A luxury so hard to find
And I just can’t figure out why I
Wasted it all here without you

But I’ll be fine
Oh don’t you worry
Cause I’ll be fine
See I’m in a hurry to be

Gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I’ll be missing here in this old life
Man cause I just don’t know

I think about you
And all of the times that we shared
And oh what a wonderful pair we
Made it so far here we go again

I think about love
And oh what a beautiful song
And oh how it needs to be sung here
Sing it so loud all the world can hear
I think I’ll be

Gone away awhile
Tell me all the things that I
I’ll be missing here in this old life
Man cause I just don’t know

I just don't know
I just don't know

But I’ll be fine
Oh don’t you worry
Cause I’ll be fine
See I’m in no hurry
No I’ll be fine

Goodnight!

"And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair."

Lovely weekend.
There's really not much to say when everything is perfect.

I guess all we can do is pray that it will stay that way.

Let's give this a try.

"We had to forgive to survive in the labyrinth of suffering. There were so many of us who would have to live with things done and things left undone that day. Things that did not go right, things that seemed okay at the time because we could not see the future. If only we could see the endless string of consequences that result from our smallest actions. But we can't know better until knowing better is useless."

The new semester is officially underway, and I'm having mixed emotions.
After this year, I'll be a senior at the school I've been at my whole life.
Things are changing, and honestly, it scares me.
------------------------------------
How about we keep things normal from now on, okay?
------------------------------------
This weekend was interesting...
I went out to eat with Hannah and Haley and it was nice.
Out of Joe T's, Margie's, and the Italian Inn, we chose the Italian Inn for our date and it was good.
----------------------------------
Anyways, life is good.
I can't complain.




Sweet dreams.

"whats the point is setting the world on fire if you have to watch the glow alone?"

"No life is a waste," said the blue man, "the only time we waste is the time we spend thinking that we are alone."

Today was quite alright.
I crashed the senior meeting during tutorials only to be disgusted by disrespect. What's new?

The past few days have been rough, for reasons I'd rather not say, we'll leave it at that.

However, I am reminded daily that I am surrounded daily by a handful of people that love me and care about me. I forget about it a lot, but I'm so thankful. Whats the point being happy when you have no one to share it with? I can't describe how important my people are.

I have a lot to say, but I'm on my phone. You know how it is.

Sweet dreams.

Take me away, to January. I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here.



WELL HELLO.
Hope your Holidays were fabulous, because mine sure were.
Hope you're ready to get back to real life, because I sure am.
-----------------------------
FIRST POST OF THE NEW YEAR!
Happy 2011 :)
Let's recap on two-thousand-ten, shall we?
Hmmm, where to begin?
Over all, 2010 was a normal, boring year that went by very very fast.
I spent the year growing closer to the people that love me and discarding the ones that were bringing me down. I learned that not everyone is going to love you, and that's okay. I learned that people can't hurt you if you don't let them.
But I really learned that if you want something bad enough, you have to work for it, and you have to fight for it every single day. Good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue.
Anyways, enough about 2010.
-----------------------------
This past Wednesday I went out to eat with a group of girls that I haven't been around in quite awhile..
Let's just say... It won't be happening again any time soon.
I can't afford to be around people that are that careless with themselves and pay no attention to the choices they are making and how they are going to eventually going to affect them in unbelievable ways.
-----------------------------
I've recently come to the realization that people are people and people make mistakes and it is may job as a people (person), to understand. People are going to make the choices they want to whether I like it or not. It's not my job to try to change them, it's my job to listen and give my opinion (sometimes). I have some friends that seem to think it is their job to tell everyone how to live and what is right and blah blah blah. Whatever, not my style. I'll give you my opinion, duh, but I'll never tell you that my way is the only way.
---------------------------
I got a facebook message the other day from a girl that I know through some friends and she told me that she was lives vicariously through Brenton and me (in a non-creepy way). Just another reminder that people are people and people are watching. But I thought that what she said was kinda cool, but that's just me.
----------------------------
Brenton and I are beginning our bucket lists. No, we aren't going to sit down and make a never-ending list of stupid stuff. We're just going to live our lives, and jot down our ideas as we think about them. This should be interesting.
---------------------------
Resolutions? Well I really don't have one, but I do have an endless list of thins I need to work on. But what I'm really focused on now is leaving the past in the past and focusing on my future.
This is going to be very difficult. Bleck.
----------------------------
Just some lyrics for y'all.


Tell me you love me
that i don’t know how much you mean it
every time you look in my eyes
you make sure that i can see it
i can’t recall if i ever felt this way before
and if i did, wouldn’t want those feelings hanging
around here anymore

just so you know
you got me
nothing in the whole wide world could ever
stop me
if you got love, got love to give
just keep giving it up and someone will
let you in
and just, so you know
you got me

everyday you write it down
just so i can read it
the best thing that ever happened to you
you know i wanna be it
i can’t recall if i ever had a love i truly missed
and if i did, it wasn’t no love compared to this

just so you know
you got me
nothing in the whole wide world could ever
stop me
if you got love, got love to give
just keep giving it up and someone will
let you in
and just, so you know

you got me waiting
learning my patience
won’t you hurry up and rescue me
there’s so much talking
it’s all i wanted
--------------------------
Goodnight!
