The Graduation Party
As is tradition these days, I will be having a gathering of family and fri-...acquaintances following my graduation. Here's the deal: It will be the very next day after graduation, it will be at my house and I will be having a dual-party dealie with my cousin, Matt Nandin. The whole "day after graduation" thing has Matt and I a bit tiffed because he is afraid that less than everyone will come and I am afraid that no one will come. Oh well, we have some family coming in from out of town and we don't want to keep them too long so...yeah, day after graduation. As a bit of a side note, the Sunday after graduation I will be performing with the All County Jazz Band at the Syracuse Jazz Fest because one of their trombones apparently can't make it, so I got called up as an alternate. Go me.
Anywho, my aunt and mom (the head honchos of this gig, Matt and I have already relinquished all control of it) have started to put together our graduation invitations. There's a picture of each of us with a quote underneath it. Matt, who is a baseball player by the way, states: "Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterdays success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is. With a new game every day. And that's the way baseball is."
I haven't quite decided on mine, so the default that's there is "Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will always be a Northstar." It's nice but a bit short. Another one I'm thinking about is "Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrong-doing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean." Or, as if that one wasn't weird enough, "Ivticro ogse ot hwmovere hcsose ti!" Any help with these or other quotes will be very helpful.
Senior Ball was fun. As usual, it took me about three to four hours to loosen up and have some fun. I might write more on that later.
Now, I will finish this post off with an homage to Star Wars.
