Promises broken

Well I like how I said "I'll write more" on my last entry. Almost a week ago. I'm so good at keeping promises haha. Anyway. I figured I'd take a few minutes out of my evening and drop a little line.

Things here are going excellent. Well school is tiring and stressful sometimes but I'm surviving and doing better than I thought I would. But other than that I'm doing awesome. Oh an update on the paper. It's due tomorrow at 1:30pm and I'm done with 5 of 7-8 pages. So I am pretty good here. I might just leave it at 6 1/2 or something. It's a draft for workshopping it doesn't have to be perfect. Two pages is easy to write though. I can pump that sucker out in two hours tops.

Everyone needs to listen to anything that Ace Enders has ever done. This includes his solo stuff (Ace Enders And A Million Different People - new CD came out last week, there's also his EP up for free download online), The Early November (his main band that split up) and I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business (his side project from like 2002 or something). Check him out. I'd post a video but i doubt there is one. Alright I just looked youtube has everything. Here is the last song I learned to play on my guitar. And here is an amazing song by his old band. So yeah. Good stuff.

This past weekend was great as always. I seem to only report what happened on the weekends. Sad. But they are the highlights of my life. Just suffice it to say that I love her more every time I see her. She is amazing.

I've decided that I'm too complacent. Well this is something that I've known in the back of my head for a while, but certain events and certain special people have made me take a good look at myself and decide that now is the time to change. I need to exert myself more, make myself stretch and work harder on what I do. Take more pride in my work. I'm naturally a person that doesn't enjoy being in the spotlight and I love to coast, but that kind of conflicts with the necessities of life. I know I've been blessed (cursed?) with the ability to lead well and am a pretty darn good teacher when I apply myself. I am soon going to enter a stage in my life where I will need to take a much stronger leadership position, where my actions and decisions will effect more than just me. And I need to prepare to step up and take my role. So here's to change. If I can do it so can anyone. That's what life is all about right? Progression? Continuing to better ourselves bit by bit so we can become who we need to be. Who others need me to be. Anyway. Random thoughts.

I've already decided the first thing I need to change. Never down two very large root beer floats in one sitting. It took a couple hours to stop my stomach from churning. Blech.
