Funny how summer just abruptly ended and Winter seems to be rolling in right over Fall... not even a chance to adjust to the new changes. *sniffles* hahaha yea... I got caught off guard and now i've got a minor cold. Aint much that will keep me down tho, some smooth music will make me forget I was even considering just laying in bed.
If you've been hidding under a rock for the last few days... lemme just bring you up to speed. School started with some great new surprises, I actually enjoy most of my classes and have made some great new friends along the way. Finally turned 21 back in September and have very fond memories of my liver *its a joke.. I still have my liver.. i think.* Nocturnal Wonderland came and Lake Havasu turned into one of the biggest camp outs ever... even though there was mixed reaction to how the event turned out... I really enjoyed it but again, mixed opinions felt by all. Then.. what has become one of America's darkest days... September 11, 9-11, however you want to put it... on that day, we experienced America's greatest tragedy... The Twin Towers in NY and part of the Pentagon was destroyed in an act of cowardice.... acts committed by terrorists seeking to bring down the human spirit. So many lives were lost and a nation was changed that day... I can't really express what emotions I felt or can't even fathom the horror that many in NY witnessed firsthand. Its enuff to make any human being question their existence... is it worth it... is there a point to our lives... are we basically destructive by nature? The last few weeks have been a struggle for many of us... sometimes finding sleep even impossible. I have visions of that airliner crashing into the side of the World Trade Center... and what goes through my mind is not the explosion of the slow collapse. What goes through my mind is thoughts of what those on the plane and those in the building felt, experienced, suffered in those final moments. I dont think i'll ever be able to shake those feelings... or even be able to understand what drives men to such insanity... or sanity... who knows. What I do know tho... is in the face of such adversity, we are able to stand up against such demonic acts and declare that we will not be deterred by such cowards. As a nation, as a people, as brothers and sisters, we have all united to show that we can pick up what was shattered and rebuild our hopes, dreams, spirit to greater hieghts, greater visions, greater dreams. Yes... we are forever changed, I daresay that anyone could watch what unfolded and still claim that life is the same as it always has been. Changed but forged into better human beings... Its time like this that I hold on to my own quote:
So... on that happy note, im sure you will be happy to hear that ive done really well on my midterms, well better than I have before. So far A's and B's in all my classes... I have one more midterm to complete and its a dozy but I think I can pull it off. Tomorrow night is Monster Massive... LA's biggest and most spectacular Halloween Extraveganza.. i think I spelled that wrong! Last year it was kick ass and it also marks the anniversary of my best friend Rommy and I's partying experiences together! Love ya bud!! Next up is Halloween in West Hollywood.. followed by the start of my favorite time of the year... gotta love the holiday season!! Too bad it doesn't snow here in Cali... maybe i'll get lucky and get a taste of a white winter once again. *shrugs*
Well im off... hope you are having an excellent year... despite all the recent events. Keep smiling.. keep shining... knowing you can always count on me.. for sure! LoL Till next time
