what's goin on? Yeah, it's been a real long time since I've updated, but if you understand the boring life that I lead in the summer, then you would definately understand where I'm coming from. I can say this though, I have been laying in my bed the past few nights trying to update this journal, but I couldn't really get my thoughts together, so I would just give up writing and try to fall asleep. Tonight, for some reason, is a little different because there are so many random thoughts going through my mind right now that I might actually have a shot at an update. So, wish me luck, and enjoy.
-I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of july. I know people don't like the corny talk sometimes, but I'm gonna say something that I hope you took into consideration. I was watching Nick and Jessica's Tour Concert thing on ABC (I told you I lead a boring life) and saw all the soldiers who were in Iraq on the fourth of july...away from their families and loved ones...fighting for us. We were with our families and friends, watching fireworks, grilling, smiling, and having a good time. Sometimes we take things for granted, such as being home and not risking our lives everyday at war. That's what fourth of july meant to me this year, hopefully to you also.
On the brighter side of things...
-I got a new pair of shoes. No surprise there, right? All white adidas...can't go wrong. I think I'm gonna start listening to my mom and stop buyin shoes. Just kidding.
-Taking microeconomics isn't so bad after all...considering every quiz is taken in a group...exams are open note, and attendance isn't a big factor. Other than that, the course is tough, lemme tell ya.
-I went to Iowa City last thursday to complete the closing of the house with my parents. The house is finally ours, so sorry that took so long guys. I was walkin around downtown and it feels like I never left. Pancheros, how I've missed your steak burrito.
-Basketball has been going pretty well...we haven't lost yet in 19 under and in the open division...I don't wanna jinx anything...so I'll just say I hope we keep it up.
Deep thought time...
-I have always lived my life with the idea that with a happy mindset, everything will fall into its' place, and things will workout for itself. Maybe things are starting to get put together, maybe not. But whatever may come right now, I'm ready for whatever outcome.
-"Don't give your hopes up." Easier said than done, agree? But if things are going so well, how do you not? How do you live on hope, but know bad things might happen at the same time? Giving up your hopes, is sometimes, inevitable.
For your entertainment...

Final thought...
-I'm starting to believe the, "I've got nothing to lose" mentality is an understatement...in the end you always lose something, and sometimes, you lose everything.
