You know, I've been doing a lot of studying today and yesterday. Got a big test coming up tomorrow as well as several big online assignments due in the near future. And as I sit here and stress out about my grades and my social life and my looks and my future, I have to remember to be thankful for what I do have.
Today is the birthday of an old acquaintance of mine. We weren't necessarily best friends or anything, but we were friendly with each other and had known each other for a long time. He is dead now. He's been dead for three years. Today he would have been 21. I scrolled through his wall on facebook. He still gets a lot of posts from his friends and family, talking to him as if he is still there, listening. Even his mother posted a heartfelt message to him today. And I sit here and complain about my problems. At least I have problems to complain about.
I don't pretend to know how death works. I'd like to believe that there is a heaven, or at least some kind of neutral afterlife where no one burns for all of eternity (unless they really really deserved it I guess). I'd like to believe that when you kick the bucket you get a complimentary pair of wings to fly around in, occasionally visiting the living world when the mood suits you. But, from a logical, scientific standpoint, the truth seems to be rather unsettling and permanent. You die, you are dead, you remain dead. Much like before you were alive.
I don't mean to get philosophical here, I just wanted to take a break from my studying (which I really need to get back to) to muse on the brevity of life and how much we all take it for granted. What would this kid I've known since I was 6 be doing right now if he was still alive? Probably complaining about his schoolwork too. Just some food for thought.
Anyway, it's April.April 8th, 2012

Me and my friend got the best two tattoos at the St Patricks Day party :)
It was a fun night except that now I have a couple girls after me that I could do without, but I guess that's part of life. I like being drunk though (as long as I dont throw up)March 28th, 2012

About
I'm always making mental notes, but somehow or another- I end up crumpling them into a wad and throwing them away. There is no off switch for reality. There is, however a setting where one can deny facts and truths which only mislead you into thinking everything's OK.
I'm from the mittenland on the map....also known as Michigan. Originally from about the lower left part. People from Michigan have a habit of showing you where they're from by using their right hand as a handy map. Works for me. I don't think Italians use their legs to show you where they're from, but I could be wrong.
I love music. I love concerts, especially outdoor shows, like in the summer. I've kind of seen a lot of bands live. Earplugs are rather important, I've found. Maybe just a little too late for that.
Following them
They're following
Television
When I do watch TV- Battlestar Gallactica, Stargate, Dr. Who, That's three strikes- Nerd. =(, Sometimes I watch- Family Guy, Glee, Holmes On Homes, Supernatural, Torchwood, True Blood, The Cleveland Show, Burns & Allen, Jack Benny Show (they air here late nights), ...., But really- TV is a waste of time. Shouldn't you be outside playing?
