Today I walked across the stage at Wells Fargo Arena as a graduate from Arizona State University. I had been stressed all week before that and I'm now just realizing how great it is to be done. I think back to my freshman year... some of the idiots I used to hang out with, some of the idiots I hang out with today. People I've worked with and people whom I said I'd kill if I ever saw them again.
It's just been a long journey... started in August of 2000. Although i'm stressing about landing a prime job... being that my selection is limited because I want to stay in Phoenix, I feel good. All my friends say to me "Wow, this is so awesome for you!" and that's when I feel good about it. It feels great that my friends, and my family, are the ones who recognize the sacrafices that I've made over the years to be where I am even though I don't recognize all the sacrafices myself. by s
I'm glad my father and mother could see me walk. I remember when they used to give me $1 a week to put into the "college fund" when I was only 4 years old. That's almost twenty years ago. It's just... crazy... crazy... crazy. God, I just can't explain it. It's like the weirdest feeling -- everyone so supportive. God bless them all.

Okay so here's some dirt on the graduation day that I have to spill. Enough of that sappy stuff above. I saw my ex-g/f of 3 years today at the ceremony. It's okay, I invited her. I figure she actually dated me from senior year in HS until my senior year in college. She's seen me study a lot... hell, she even did some of my studying for me. Anyways I hadn't talked to her in over a year and to finally see her and hear her voice in over a year was surreal. We talked about work and the things she's been up too in the last year. I even found out she now has a live-in boyfriend. Although she was really careful to use the word 'boyfriend' by saying "Well, he's not really my boyfriend..." whatever... just BS talk. Anyways I get her to take me for more drinks at Christie's Cabaret. I just want to see some titties while I enjoy my jack and coke. Then I start bartering with her over how much it'd cost for her to give me a lap dance. We could make a deal so we left the joint. Then I grabbed her and said "Just give me a lap dance on the hood of the car." She didn't really want to do that... but I pulled her close anyways. Moved in to kinda kiss her and she was like "I can't..." but I went in anyways and we just starting making out. It felt nice. Anyways she had to get back to her man and I had other people to see. I think this situation with her can get kind of crazy if we both aren't careful -- I kind of miss her.
I told one of my friends this quote "If you love someone, let them go. If they don't come back, they were never yours; If they do come back, they are yours forever."
