Black & White

as a child i was taught good and bad, right and wrong were as different as black and white.

how different it black from white?

Half Way Done

fall semester has come to an end. as i look back i ask myself, "what did i learn?"

uh, did i learn anything? maybe i didnt learn facts from a text book but something more important and usable. maybe i learned what i want, or what i dont want from my fast approaching graduation. maybe i learned i need to make some changes to my immediate environment, or to myself; either for the better or worse.

what im getting at is: people shouldnt look for life's obvious lessons. ive learned more outside of the classroom hands-down. and i dont believe knowledge is all about fact retention and calculations and finished books.

the smart people are the happy people

Holidays

Up until high shool christmas break was relaxing and at least a week long trip to the grandparents. as time passed, christmas break has been whittled down from a 2 week vacation to a fast-forwarded 'hello/goodbye' that lasts only 3 days.

christmas has turned from an awesome trip south to an obstacle half way through my school year. i mean: i love seeing and being with family, but the 9 hour drive home and the lack of entertainment in maryland makes winter break less of a vacation and more of a hassle.

all problem, no solution this time.

Swing!

if life throws you a curve ball, fuckin swing. you could knock it outta the park. and if you miss? why sweat the small stuff? youll be back-at-bat in no time.

curve balls are great, they keep you on your toes.
