"In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer."
Welcome to my little corner of the institution.
Look past through the clouds, straight up in the sky
To a place where time slowly passes by
This is where your dreams fly on silver wings
Where each star has its own song it sings
This is my heaven and my hell
I bid you welcome and a fond farwell
"For to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain"

The Beginning...
An early New Years entry
I know I haven't written anything in this for a long time. I have a very good reason for it too. Which is the same reason that this will be the last entry that I make in here. I believe that if you want to know what's going on in my life, then talk to me.
As I sit here, unable to sleep, in the early morning hours with a new year quickly approaching, I can't help but think of what 2003 has brought me, taught me, and lost me. If this was last year, I would have been surrounded by a bunch of my friends on New Years eve, however, this year, that won't be the case, I'm sorry to say. I'm four hours away from my oldest and closest friends whom I have spent the past four years bringing in the New Year. This saddens me a little, but not as much as I thought it would.
This past year has taught me quite a few things. For one, it has taught me to not live in the past. If I hadn't learned that one right away, I would have missed out of a lot of things at college because I would have been sitting at my computer IMing anyone from "home" that was online and just sitting around thinking about all the good times we had. Also, it taught me if I don't take chances, I'll miss out of things I want. Sadly, I learned this one the hard way.
Thankfully, though, it has brought me quite a few good things. Like my guys. Would have never imagined that I would have been as close as friends as I am with them. I'm extremly thankful for it. Even though, some of them won't admit it, they are the sweetest bunch of guys... sometimes... hahaha. It has also brought me some new friends at school. Even though constantly being made fun of and now being beaten at Smash a lot came along with one of them, I really couldn't be more thankful.
Hopefully, 2004 brings good things for myself, and for my family, because Lord knows we desperately need them.
I normally find resolutions something that people make just to make themsevles feel better. I know I have never really kept any of mine. However, the one I'm making this year, I'm going to follow through with. I need to, for my own emotional and mental health. Something that I should have taken care of this winter break while back "home" but per usual, didn't happen.
Well with all that being said, I bid you all a very Happy New Years.
