4 Days

As I cross more and more things off my back to school to-do-list, it's all starting to become more and more real.
In four days I literally start one of the biggest and most crucial chapters of my life.
Besides the upgrade in education, I'm officially an independent man.
Thankfully I have friends to help me out, but it's the first time I'm living entirely on my own.
I'm kinda nervous, but super confident.
I know above anything else, I'm there to work, and work I will.
I look forward to staying up all night making sure I maximize my potential. Ditching bars for books, work money for marks, and maybe even some friends for fortune.
I think all I'm going to need is a few people with my mentality who know how to balance work and play. Someone I can work alongside with to ensure we become the best we can be.. because really, it's crunch time. Make it or break it. What I put in these next couple of years is what I'll get out. And that's exactly why I'm willing to give up everything.

Level Up

When people talk behind your back, that only reassures you that you're ahead of them.

Cords (L)

Ink

It's official. Getting one of these during the Christmas break on my upper back. They say you should always get something with some meaning behind it, and I think this has a lot of significance to who I am. Also planning on getting a scripture on my ribcage, but haven't decided on the right quote.

Someone Understands (L)

Lightning strike,
Inside my chest to keep me up at night.
Dream of ways
to make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulphur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It's heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?
If you want more love,
Why don't you say so?

Drop his name
Push it in and twist the knife again
Watch my face,
As I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain

Just say so..

How come the only way to know how high you get me
Is to see how far I fall?
God only knows how much I'd love you if you let me,
but I can't break through it all

It's a heart..heartbreak

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down
Red wine and Ambien,
You're talking shit again
It's heartbreak warfare

Good to know it's all a game,
Disappointment has a name
It's heartbreak..Heartbreak.

It's heartbreak warfare.

Clean Slate

One-Way Streets

You are born a Catholic just as much as you are born white, black, brown, or asian. It's already one thing to believe in something just because that's what you were "raised to believe it", but to believe the in the words of people who weren't even part of your century (some of which didn't even exist) is fascinating. People seem to just wear a cross on their sleeves as though its a pass into a supposed paradise. I wonder if anyone actually sits and thinks about every aspect of what it means to be part of the xth religion. And how often do they think about its legitimacy? It's applicability to today's society and one's own life? If you want to believe it, go for it. But next time you play pick and choose and victimize someone for one thing written in a book by a man who quite frankly could never have existed and surely never even spoke to God, make sure you don't look like a hypocrite trying to condone your own behaviour because you don't even know where to begin to defend yourself since the unopened Bible you got from your Grade 8 graduation is piled under your Twilight series.

Perfection

I love my Crackberry (L)

Gamble

So many different options but something's always missing.
Maybe it's my fault.
Maybe it's their's.
Or maybe I'm just too young to understand it all.
All I know is that I can go to bed one night feeling so sure about something but it isn't long before one wrong move is made and I lose interest.
But if I've learned anything, it's to never lower my standards.
No one should ever have to "see past something" or "try and look at the good".
Love is looking something right in the face and knowing that any distinguishable flaw is merely an asset to its perfection.

Best. Ad. Ever.

A Guy Thing

Plastic Hearts

We were in love.
We met.
We laughed.
We hugged.
We kissed.
We cried.
We became we.
We fought.
We explored.
We feared.
We foresaw.
We ran.
We disappeared.

I realized,

the best way to learn how to love is to learn how not to love, and what love isn't. Love isn't walking down hallways hand in hand, it's not fathoming the thought of being seen together in public, it's not 24/7 texting, it's not cat and mouse, it's not craving something just because it's hard to catch. Love is invisible. Love is lying down with the object of your affection, in seclusion from the world, knowing that you could spend the rest of your life in that very position. Time no longer exists. Nor do most other things. It's feeling so strongly towards someone that you know it would be impossible to ever love someone any more. And if for any reason, someone took this all away from you, whether or not by choice, you would give all you have to maintain the best relationship possible. To eternally care for them, pray for them, hope for them, cry for them, and love them even if you got nothing in return. And that's exactly what I want to do.

Love cannot be found until love finds you.

If love is a battlefield, then I'm all for world peace.

Much more than emo kids taking pictures of themselves in forests and inserting cliche quotes.
Pretty entertaining.

Gym Diaries #3

FINALLY gained wieght :)
I was actually ecstatic coming off the scale.
And I'm visually noticing a difference too.
I've noticed after going I get even more energetic throughout the day, which helps with work.
In other news, I was on the pecs machine the other day with Michelle beside me and she's telling me to turn around. I was all confused. I turn around to see some old guy doing the "shhh" face trying to readjust the weight and then he laughed, sighed, and ran off. :/

Bittersweet

So Dina's going away party was yesterday.
Such fun times, but I'm going to miss you sooo much.
But I know you'll be back eventually and we'll catch up.
Just wanted to say our friendship has meant a lot over the past 3 years, through the ups and downs.
I'm glad I could find a friend in Xavier with such class and double D's :)
You've made it all more bearable. Best of luck in the future.
Oh yeah, and I'd just like to say how amazing Christine, Marc, Daniela, and of course my biff Michelle are.
Good times talking about stories from each other's schools and our pasts in front of Starbucks with the mysterious FULL venti coffee. Haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thank youuu. :)
