"Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit!"

[Song. Don't Stop Believin'. Journey]

Well guys, today marked the end of the 2010 Olympics. The last event? USA/Canada Men's Hockey finals [Gold]. It was the first hockey game I've watched since playoffs last season. It was a great game. A really great game. We tied it up with 24 seconds left in regulation time. BRILLIANT goal, thank you Zach Parise.

So, we went into OT. It was there that Sidney Crosby [Canada] scored and won the game. Fuckin Crosby.. have fun going back to pittsburgh, traitor... I kid, really. He's canadian. He couldnt very well play for us. I'm still not happy about it though. Congrats to Canada for their win. Despite our loss, MVP for the tournament went to USA goalie, Ryan Miller. The guy played an awesome game today.

This being said, I would like to strongly suggest to the state of Indiana that we acquire a hockey team. Almost everyone I know here at IU was watching this game, and have watched others in the tournament. Hockey is more popular that you think, Indiana. Give me a hockey team. [Granted, even with an Indiana team, I will always remain faithful to my Wings, no matter how poorly they do. But with a team here, more Wings games will be televised.]

NBC is airing the Wings/Blackhawks game on March 7th. I will be watching this. I am quite excited.

Thats all for now, kids. :]

Give it a Ponder..

Well, kids, i'm seriously considering doing a semester of my junior year in Ireland.
Scholarships could cover it completely.

Thoughts?

I feel like blogging, so its gonna happen.

but what to talk about? i have nothing in particular. i suppose i will just ramble about the odds and ends of my life. yep. sounds good.

I have been in quite a good mood for days now. no reason why, really. i've just been pleasantly happy for a few days. i like it. i've been far too blah lately. hmm. i guess thats something to talk about. recently, i've realized that it takes far too much energy to be anything other than positive about things. yes, i realize that not everything can be spun in a positive light, but damnit, i'm gonna try. i guess that may be why i've been happy. i dont know. i just think its much easier to not worry about the little things. i like living that way. its been working out for me so far. i'm pleased.

i leave for florida in two weeks. i'm going with c-tooley. we're going to visit my dad. i'm quite excited. i'm also nervous. i know my dad. i love him, but i know him. or rather, i know his "wife". she can get quite out of hand sometimes, and i'm severely worried that i will end up embarrassed at one point or another during my trip. i have expressed this concern to my dad, and he seems to be doing what he can to minimize the possibility of drama. it certainly doesnt help that kelly's niece is going to be visiting during the week. this girl hates my dad. like, legit hates him. that should play out interestingly. i will say this. she will NOT be going to busch gardens with chelsea, deryk, and myself. she just wont. she will not infringe upon my best-friend/cousin time. she wont. i simply wont allow it. i hope she's okay with that. but then again, if she's not, i dont care. going off of past experience, this girl and i will not be getting along once shes been there for more than an hour. she'll make some kind of snide remark about my father, and i will lose it. we'll see how that goes.

i have developed an addiction to "the script". they are brilliant. i love them. check em' out.

hmmm.

well. i suppose this is an update. i had a pretty close friend, whom i dont feel like naming, decide i wasnt worth his time. this happened about a week ago. i may or may not have blogged about this already. if so, sorry for the repeat. but, dude, you made your choice. i'm fine with it. i dont miss you. i was not wrong. i do not regret the things i said to you. i will say this, i will miss the friends i will lose because of you. i'll do my best to keep them, but know where their loyalties lie. and that is not with me. do what you want, with who you want, but assure you, that door is firmly closed.

i had a great weekend with jen. started it off with some good fun with chelsea and blake. i got a battery thrown at my lip, and a chelsea foot to the head. what could be better? saturday night was the best time i've had since new years. [dont worry beef, i believe new years still holds the top spot] it was so fun. there was drinking. there was fun. and there was a lot of dancing. i had the best time. even the walk of shame was comical. i will never listen to "dont stop believin" the same way again. good times.

had an orgo quiz today. we'll see how that went. kayla, i dont believe i will ever fully understand the art that is acid base chemistry. i think i'm in trouble. ha.

okay. i've rambled on for far too long. sorry guys.

love ya!

I'm Yours- The Script

"I'm Yours"

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap you thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

You heeled these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went week and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours

-My friend, Deidre, recently gave me this CD. I have fallen in love with it. This song especially. No reason as to why. I don't get reminded of anyone. I dont wish that someone would sing it to me. I just really love the song. :]

-Also, I know everyone has probably heard this song, check out "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" as well. :]

Walking down a dark alley in a toga. Welcome to college.

this weekend was, in short, quite epic.
but goodness me, am i paying for it now. :p
best weekend ever? i think so.
a big thanks to jen collins.
and kayla, i wish you coulda been there. :D

twee bit of an update.

I booked plane tickets today.
we will be gone march 10th-19th. :D
while i am quite sad about the fact that my dearest brother does not get to spend his birthday with dad, i gotta say, i'm quite excited.
this has an additional perk. we leave the day after crazy psycho girl gets in town. how awesome. :D


in other news.
i stood up for myself today.
it worked out exactly as i thought it would.
i regret nothing.
your loss.
sorry bout it.

overall, good day. :]

feeling nostalgic.

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand.. until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away

disbelief

i cant believe you would do that.
what purpose did it serve?
what could have been gained from it?
youre stupid.
go away.


on a happy note.

i just cant seem to shake this.
sigh.
what to do what to do.

this is really making me more upset than it should

please, as much as i know you like talking about it.
i am not the person who needs to hear about what you have to say on this particular subject.
please listen to me when my tone of voice changes when you bring it up.
please listen to me when i tell you i dont want to hear it.
please stop talking about it with me. i dont want to hear it.

i love you. a bunch. but stop. really. its killing me. thank you.

great couple of days!

I've figured out a life plan.
screw physics. i'm switching from a BS in biology to a BA. no physics. :D

also.
SPRING BREAK 2010 WITH CHELSEA TOOLEY IN FLORIDA!!!

i hate physics.
i hate it so much.
i'm changing my major because of it.
hopefully, as of tomorrow, i will be a criminal justice major/biology minor.
i will have an end goal of law school.
that has always interested me.
we shall see.
i hate life today.
goodnight.
